post holes
Dug for fencing
Post holes are cylindrical holes dug into the ground to receive fence posts, signposts, or other vertical supports.
The holes are typically deeper than they are wide, allowing posts to be set firmly and filled with concrete or packed earth.
We spent the morning digging post holes for the new fence.
A post hole digger is the specialized tool—either manual or powered—used to excavate them.
