If i use a fence piost digger to put 4x4's in the ground, do the 4x4's need to be sharp on the end or can they be just how they are when u buy them?

I would cut one end into a point and just wack it with a hammer.

use a dead blow hammer, a slledge may make them split

i'm pretty sure that you can buy these metal spikes for the bottom of 4x4's for slammin them in for fences use. you can find them at home depot if your willin to spend the extra cash they work really well.

I probably would try both to see what worked better. I just can't imagine that a fence post digger would work well in the water, but I've never tried it personally.

I make all my rails out if metal,(last longer, no splitting or warping) so I've never really tried a post hole digger, ya know you can pound the holy shjt outta steel
