Frequently Asked Questions About Post Holes in Barrie
​How deep do post holes need to be in Barrie?
-
In Barrie and across Simcoe County, post holes must be dug to a minimum depth of 4 feet (48 inches). This ensures your footings are below the frost line, preventing "frost heave" which can cause fences and decks to shift or lean during the winter freeze-thaw cycles.
Do you handle utility locates before digging?
-
No, we Do Not, although safety is our priority, we will coordinate with the homeowner, who in turn will have to call Ontario One Call to ensure all gas, hydro, and water lines are clearly marked before any machinery touches the ground.
What sizes of post holes can you dig?
-
We utilize professional-grade machinery capable of drilling various diameters, including 6", 8", 10", and 12". Whether you need standard fence posts or heavy-duty sonotubes for a large deck, we have the right equipment for the job.
