Post installation apparatus
11142879 · 2021-10-12 ·

Post installation apparatuses are disclosed that decrease the length of a post subject to buckling so that more force can be applied when installing a post in the ground. In one embodiment, a post installation apparatus includes a frame that defines an elongated vertical passage configured to receive a post such that the post vertically extends through the elongated vertical passage when the elongated vertical passage receives the post. The frame provides the structural support so that a post secured to the frame does not buckle. To allow for easy removal of the post, the elongated vertical passage defines an elongated vertical opening in the frame such that the post is removable through the elongated vertical opening. The post installation apparatus also includes one or more securement devices that are configured to be positioned across the elongated vertical opening so as to secure the post in the elongated vertical passage.
