Post Pounding: The Smarter Way to Build Fences

At R&S Fence and Railing Supply, we’ve revolutionized fence installation in Central PA with our post pounding method. By driving heavy-duty steel posts into the ground and sleeving them with vinyl, we create stronger, cleaner, and more durable fences that stand up to Pennsylvania’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles—without the mess or hassle of concrete.

Why Post Pounding?

 

Traditional concrete-set fences seem sturdy, but they’re vulnerable to frost heave, where freeze-thaw cycles push posts out of the ground. Our post pounding method drives steel posts deep into the soil, compacting it for unmatched stability. This approach is cleaner, faster, and built to last in Central PA’s unpredictable weather.

​

Here’s why post pounding is the superior choice for vinyl fencing:

  • Frost-Heave Resistance: No concrete means no rigid base for frost to push up, keeping your fence straight through winter.

  • Cleaner Installation: No digging or concrete means less mess and a healthier yard.

  • Stronger Structure: Deep-driven steel posts grip the soil tightly, creating a robust foundation.

  • Easier Repairs: Adjustments are quick and simple without concrete to break up.

  • Reliable Gates: Driven posts flex with the ground, preventing gate issues caused by shifting or freezing.

 

Built for Central PA

 

From Harrisburg to Hanover, our region’s clay-heavy soils and wild weather swings demand a fencing solution that adapts. Post pounding compacts the soil, eliminating the loose dirt and concrete plugs that cause traditional fences to fail. It’s the perfect fit for Mechanicsburg, Carlisle, and beyond.
