Post Hole Borer and Auger Hire
Augers and post hole borers for fast, clean holes
About Our Post Hole Borer
Digging post holes by hand is slow, heavy work. A post hole borer, also called an auger, bores clean, consistent holes in a fraction of the time, which is why it is the tool of choice for fencing, decking posts and sign bases.
We offer both handheld petrol augers and machine-mounted augers that fit to a digger for larger or harder ground, so you can match the tool to the scale of the job.
Ideal for
- Fence post installation
- Decking and pergola posts
- Sign and gate post bases
- Tree planting holes
- Repetitive holes over a long run

Post Hole Borer Questions, Answered
It depends on your post and the concrete you are setting it in. We stock the common fencing diameters and can recommend the right one once you tell us the post size.
Lighter petrol augers can be operated by one person, though a two-person borer is steadier in harder ground. For long runs or stony soil a digger-mounted auger is far less tiring.
Augers handle most ground well. In very stony or heavy clay a digger-mounted auger gives the extra torque needed, and we can advise on the best option for your site.
