Ajmoore1 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Alloy would be better than rubber. Wouldn't a rubber one bounce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardupfarmer Posted April 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I've always used a rubber maul has they don't damage the post but if the ground is really hard they do bounce.do alloy mauls damage top of the post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premnayloon Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I was always told to hit wood with wood, but only person I've ever seen do it for fencing is strange enough Prince Charles, there was a program on yonks ago about his estate and he was attempting to chap in posts, with a wooden mallet.

My Dads neighbour used to have a wooden hammer (cherry) and boy could he drive them in, I use an ally one but have also used steel ones, The steel ones are smaller so you get above the post easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
