* We have extensions to go down 2 metres but they require the auger to be removed for each hole. If you need the extra depth - hire an excavator post hole digger.
Choosing an auger for the post hole digger:
The auger should bigger than the posts so you can ram the soil back in. Or, a size smaller so you can hit the posts in for a snug fit. An auger which is like "just right" will see the posts wobble after a short period and you'll be grumpy with us.
What about a 2 person post hole digger?
Sorry, we don't hire them because they're dangerous and make a simple job very difficult. They may be a bit easier to transport than a hydraulic post hole digger - but you forget that when you're trying to repair your sore back.
