Digging holes to concrete fence posts

if you embed the sleeves first, you can align them however you want, it will still be completely crooked anyway.

Last weekend we installed almost 60 meters of fence. The fence was aligned element by element, then aligned once more "in one piece" at the end and finally concreted. You just need some iron rods, wood, strings, and many clamps for alignment, for which my neighbor now has the straightest fence in the entire city :p

Oh really? I would have concrete poured first (without sleeves) and then fixed screw sleeves with 4 8x16 bolts onto these point foundations. This allows for alignment (washers) and later upgrading the fence...

I have decided on the sleeves for embedding in concrete. But how are you supposed to set up the fence now? Before concreting? Do you have pictures of your procedure?

To me, that sounds complicated and like many hands are needed.

Can't you return the sleeves?
Especially as a lone fighter, my method sounds easier. Maybe less durable, I don't know, but definitely more manageable.

You can watch this in the video on youtube. You don't have to put up the whole fence at once, but 3-4 posts at a time, the fence panels in between ... then it is braced to the sides and wooden pieces are placed under the fence panels for the height. Then quickly pour the concrete ...

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone with a needle scaler. I think if I used a drill with a larger diameter, I would get stuck on thicker chunks even more often. Does anyone have a tip on how to best align the sleeves when embedding them in concrete? I have now built something out of square timber and aligned the sleeves with clamps. There must be a clever solution for this....

Mix the concrete as firm as possible, pour it into the hole, insert the sleeves and align them with a spirit level. Don't touch them anymore until it is somewhat dry.
