A fence panel construction device includes a structural member and a pair of post members coupled to the structural member. Each post member includes a pair of attachment devices configured to removably attach a pair of fence stringers to the pair of post members. A pair of actuator mechanisms are coupled to a respective one of the pair of post members to position the pair of post members corresponding to a pair of fence posts on a property. A finishing assembly is coupled to the structural member and includes at least one fastening device and at least one trimming device both operable to move vertically. The finishing assembly is operable to move horizontally while the at least one fastening device fastens fence boards to the pair of fence stringers and at least one trimming device trims the fence boards. A method of making a fence panel is provided.

A pneumatic post driving apparatus comprises an internal cylinder chamber within which a hammer piston is reciprocated. The hammer piston strikes against an anvil, which in use is abutted against the top of a post to be driven. Kinetic energy from the descending hammer piston is transferred through the anvil into driving energy for the post. An air control system alternately routes pressurized air between the top and bottom ends of the cylinder to move the hammer piston up and down. The air control system includes a spool-type control valve disposed for sliding movement within a control body. The anvil is resiliently suspended at the bottom of the cylinder chamber by an annular retention flange that has a conically tapered under surface. A lower elastomeric pad fits against the tapered under surface of the retention flange in direct surface-to-surface contact.

An apparatus for driving a post into the earth has a frame with an upright member in which the upright member has a slot extending longitudinally on a surface thereof, a receptacle translatably positioned in the slot, a hammer member translatably positioned in the slot of a location above the receptacle, a sheave affixed to the frame in a position above the hammer member, and a line affixed to the hammer member and extending over the sheave. The receptacle has an interior adapted to receive an upper end of the post therein. The line has an end opposite the hammer member adapted to be manually pulled so as to lift the hammer member upwardly and to be released so as to cause the hammer member to contact the receptacle.

A hydraulic tool for the installation of fencing T-posts into the ground without bending the T-post or causing damage or deformity to the top of the T-post, installs to the three point hitch of a tractor with hydraulic connections to the tractor hydraulic system, securing the post along its vertical length prior to insertion into the ground, the tool having an upper stationary bracket holding an upper section of the T-post within a T-post slot and a lower sliding ram bracket securing to a lower section of the post, the lower sliding ram bracket forcing the T-post into the ground by use of a hydraulic ram at a chosen depth.

A fence erecting assembly for anchoring a stretched fence includes a pair of posts that can each be driven into ground. A pair of lower sleeves is each slidable over a respective one of the posts and a pair of tubes is each coupled to a respective one of the lower sleeves. A pair of upper sleeves is each slidable over a respective one of the posts. A pair of support rods is each insertable through a respective one of the tubes such that each of the support rods is oriented to extend diagonally between the posts. A connection point on each of the support rods is attachable to a mounting tab on a respective one of the upper sleeves thereby inhibiting the pair of posts from tipping toward or away from each other. In this way the pair of posts can serve as an anchor point for a stretched fence.

A post driver and remover for the installation and removal of posts includes a post receiver having a post receiver body having a driving end and an opposite driven end. The post receiver body defines a post receiving space having an open end adjacent the driven end and a closed end adjacent the driving end. The post receiving space is sized and shaped to receive an upper end portion of one of the posts. The post receiver body also has a first extractor and a second extractor. The first extractor receives a first post of a first cross-sectional size or shape, and the second extractor has a different size or shape from the first extractor to receive a second post of a second cross-sectional size or shape.

A post driver for installing a post includes a post receiver. The post receiver has a post receiver body defining a post receiving space with an open end and an opposite closed end. The post receiving space is sized and shaped to receive an upper end portion of the post. The post receiver body has an outer surface. The post receiver includes a post receiver cover connected to the post receiver body and at least partially covering the outer surface of the post receiver body. A first handle is connected to the post receiver and a second handle is connected to the post receiver.

A system of for installing unanchored fence posts accurately with one or two persons comprising tools to align the fence post while it is being set into an anchored state.

A post mount (1), adapted to be installed in a substrate and releasably receive a post therein, including: a body (2); and an insert (3), adapted to cooperate with the body; wherein, in use, the body is adapted to be driven into the substrate, and, thereafter, the insert is adapted to be at least partially deformed, to thereby anchor the post mount to the substrate.

A post sleeve installation system can include a plurality of post sleeve installation devices and at least one spacing beam or mechanism. The spacing beam or mechanism can include end portions that rotate about multiple independent axes and can be coupled to a pair of post sleeve installation devices to determine or control the relative locations and orientations between two post sleeves. The post sleeve installation system can be used to install post sleeves for posts for a fence, a rail or other structure supported by posts.
