I am building a pipe fence for about 8 acres. I have been told by some people to use the auger on the tractor and dig the holes then set the posts in conrete. The posts are going to be 4 1/2 tall and buried in the ground about 18 inches. I have also been told that if I drive the posts in the ground 18 inches then weld the pipe top rail on the fence it will not have to be concreted in the ground. If at all possible I would love to do it without having to concrete the pipe in the ground, because that saves money and work. Some say that when it is welded together it will be strong enough not to move when a horse leans on it. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
