The Easy Way to set 4 x 4 Posts Plumb and Square

Implements & attachments25 hp & underKubota BX23S

Overview

A casual, family-involved backyard project showing how to set six 4x4 fence posts plumb and square for a chicken run. The method relies on string lines, two bags of dry ready-mix per hole, and a second person to hold posts instead of bracing. The BX23S is used briefly to dig holes but is not the focus. Best for hobbyist property owners curious about a low-tech post-setting workflow.

Posted by the Outdoors With The Morgans channel, which appears to be a family lifestyle channel documenting their own property projects, so expect an informal, personal-experience perspective rather than professional instruction.
