- A system we’ve come up with to easily install chain link fence posts where frost heaving is a major concern. No digging, no cement, very quick and minimal effort

I've been waiting to see a good video regarding these screw piles...congratulations! Your video is better than Pylex's videos!
Agree 100%! I installed 2 screw piles per Pylex instructions and boy it was a pita... and no matter how I tried, just couldn't level them
hi there. Thank you for posting this video. I could not figure out how to install my pylex piers. Thanks again.
Very informative. Thanks!
First time I seen these,..wow,..pretty cool set up,..
Finally found someone using an impact to put these in!
They are still doing it wrong. The 1/2" square adapter can round up an damage the head, they should use a square hollow adapter that goes over the pylex.
I installed 6 of these on my 16’ x 16’ deck using two beams .woeked well and deck is very study. The option that you can adjust the piles is nice
why do they say not to be used for fencing? czcams.com/video/DnTxJsTwo8U/video.html
What size adaptor did you use for the impact wrench?
On a large ranch, with a tractor that has a 3 point hitch, and power take off a completely automatic system is possible
With a large number of post in the rack ready to install. A motorized cart comes in behind and extens the post to fence height and starts putting up the type of fence your using from wood to wire.
U are the man!!!!!! Finally legend solve the problem, But need which adaptor u use and if any link where to buy it.
Thanks Tekeleabe, the one I have is from Princess Auto: 1/2 in. F to 3/4 in. M Socket Drive Adapter
SKU: 8000569
@@algee8228 thank you!!!!
Quick question. What's the size of the adapter you used for the wrench? thanks!
He said 1/2 to 3/4" adapter
@@hockey4life4meYes, 1/2" impact wrench up to 3/4" that fits loose in the post top.
After you slide the fence post onto the Pylex screw post, what stops the fence post from sinking further into the ground afterward? Should you drill a hole through both and bolt the two together so the fence post doesn't sink?
The pieces of black poly tubing keep it snug enough that I don't think I had to lock any in place, but if I had to I would drill through and put a screw or bolt.
Algee Ok thanks. The reason I ask is that I want to put a suspended rolling gate on my fence. This would add extra weight to the fence and possibly cause the posts to sink further. Thanks for the instruction
@@tanisbeazer8573 I wouldn't use this thing as a hinge post
@@thomasrobinette3227 I'm planning using them for my gate posts but with the lateral stabilizers
I am looking to install chainlink fencing in sand. Do you think this would work to get it down deep past the sand and into a substrate that will hold the posts?
I think these would go really well through sand. I was going mostly through clay. One thing is if you have deep sand at surface they may be a bit wobbly up top due to the sand. I think Pylex makes an add-on lateral support that might work there, but that would add to the cost. You could try one to see if its OK without the lateral support.
@@algee8228 Thanks for the reply. My thoughts exactly. Will try one in the spring to see how well it anchors. Thanks again...very helpful video!!
Actual work starts at 2:04 - Thank you!
In my clay soil the inside of the pylex post lasts about 20 seconds before getting destroyed by the impact. Using a socket over the pylex post works better but can only get the post in 1-2 ft before the impact does too much damage to the top of the pylex post. Would not recommend using these. I have broken two brackets just by spinning in with a 2x4. Not sure how I'm going to get the rest in. Have spent a whole day on 8 posts and only about half done.
Wow that's some dang hard clay. I guess for anyone wanting to try these they should buy one and try it first before committing.
dig a small hole with shovel and dump water in it for a couple of days, then clay will be soft and you can drill it down perhaps.
Can you post url where to buy? thank you
👍
I watched the manufacturer install video for these 50" piles and they say "not to be used for fencing".. I'm planning on using them for fencing with the lateral stabilizer add-ons. I can't see it being worse than a 4x4 fence post buried 3ft with concrete..
They're great for chainlink fence. Not sure how they'd do on a wooden fence. Might want to try one first. A heck-fire lot easier to install thats for sure.
Now that your fence is a year old, how is it holding up after a winter?
Has not budged one bit! Still looks like the day we put it in.
Where did you purchase these posts
Home Depot
정확하게 어떤 제품인지 알려주면 고맙겠다
This is not the manufacturer recommended method. The 1/2" square adapter can round up an damage the head, they should use a square hollow adapter that goes over the pylex in the same way as the saddle that comes with it.
Also, those specific piles are not intended for fences; they don't have any built-in lateral stabilizer. How to you plan to stabilize them?
How many ft apart are the posts ?
10' to match the chain-link fence rails.
Ditch that impact and use an Earth drill.
I suspect an earth drill would have too much torque for these relatively lightweight posts and would twist them apart.
Get a milwaukee it does this in a 10th of the time
Y
Lol
I checked and it says $45 a piece.
The posts we used (Pylex Adjustable 50 Inch Foundation Screw
Model # 10555|Store SKU # 1000746285) are $28 CDN.
@@algee8228 that still ends up being very expensive posts if you got a lot of them, $45 CDN plus tax, ouch lol I am going to need to do part of my fence like this though, so thank you! I got bedrock here, so need the plates, and i got marshland! lol thi will work great
@@acreageliving Agreed on the expensive, but the big thing for me is they stay put and don't heave due to frost. Cheers!
So what did you do . Did you cut the top of the post since they're foundation screw post
st ma the top piece to accept the foundation is removable
