I want to install aluminum fence, but I really don't want to dig any holes
My wife would like an ornamental fence around our garden, but the thought of digging holes does not have me too excited. Is there a way for me to pound in the posts, or install the aluminum fence without digging any holes?

There is no doubt that digging the holes is the hardest part of most fence installations.
There is a product called Oz Post, made in Australia, but now available in the US. They make a spear-shaped bracket which when pounded into the ground can support nearly any fence panel.
Most aluminum fence is constructed with a 2" post. Oz Post makes their hardware for 2" posts in either a 24" or 34" length.
2" x 24" Oz Post
2" x 34" Oz Post for Aluminum Fence
The Oz Post is installed with either a block of wood and a sledgehammer, or if you have a whole bunch of fence to install, maybe it's best to use one of their hammer spacers and a fence post jackhammer.
