Digging in lava
#2
There are drills and jackhamers availble at rental agencies in Puna for such jobs. If you don't have electric service at your location, you will need a generator as the drills are electric. The jackhammers I have seen have gasoline (or sometimes diesel) engine power. Puna Rentals in the Shipman Industrial area has these and will brief the customer on their use. Drills are used for smaller post holes and jackhammers for bigger ones.

This is hard, time consuming work. Even though my partner and I understood how to do it, we decided to hire out the job. The excellent guy (Kawika Stevens) who built my fence used metal posts for the most part with larger treated wooden ones at intervals for stronger anchor points. Four years later my fence is still rock solid.

Cheers,
Jerry
