The ground is starting to thaw in southern Ohio, which means it’s time to start planning your outdoor renovation and fence building projects. Whether you’re a homeowner who likes to DIY on the weekends or an experienced contractor, having the right power tools on hand will make building your fence faster and easier. Below are some of the essentials you need if you plan on putting up a fence this spring.

What Tools Will You Need to Build a Fence?

1. Post-Hole Digger

Digging the post holes for your new fence is one of the most difficult and time-consuming parts of the process. A post-hole digger will make this part of the task much faster and easier. These tools have two shovel-like, half-circular blades that cut into the ground to easily make round holes at a consistent depth. They also have two handles, which make it easier to pull soil out of the ground. 

2. Hammers

If you’re building a wooden fence, hammers are one of the most useful tools in your box. A regular claw hammer lets you nail boards and posts together, but they can be tedious and frustrating to use. If you’re looking for efficiency and fewer errors, consider renting a nail gun from your local power tool specialist. These tools use pneumatic pressure to shoot nails into the wood, which is much easier and less exhausting than pounding them in yourself. 

3. Circular Saw

A good circular saw will reduce the time and frustration of shaping materials to fit, while providing more accurate cuts than you could achieve with a hand saw. These power tools can be equipped to cut through any type of material, from wood to vinyl and even raw metal.
