How does the I-Drive system work?

It uses hydraulic power to drive posts directly into undisturbed soil, bypassing the need for augers or concrete footings.

Why avoid concrete footings?

Concrete footings in disturbed soil are susceptible to cracking and lifting from frost heave. Concrete will trap moisture around the post, causing rot and rapid rusting.

Does this system leave a mess?

No, our no-dig installation eliminates dirt piles and concrete dust.

What materials are used in the foundation?

We use high-grade Schedule 20/40 steel posts to prevent below-ground failure.

How deep are the posts driven?

Posts are typically driven 4 feet deep, or 3.5 to 4 feet for aluminum fencing.

I-Drive Power Systems is not just a method, it’s the foundation of our promise at Family Fencing. This technique drives each post deep into undisturbed soil, eliminating the need for messy concrete footings and augers. This approach results in cleaner job sites, no dirt piles, and removes the risk of frost heave that causes traditional fences to lean or fail. Whether you are a homeowner near Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, a farm owner in Giles County, or a facility manager in Salem, our no dig install means your fence is anchored for decades of stability and performance. I-Drive is engineered for all applications: vinyl fences that stay level, aluminum systems that withstand mower bumps, commercial chain link for security, and agricultural lines that hold strong for your livestock.

I-Drive techniques bring a stronger and faster installation. Less time on-site means less labor cost. Cleaner fences, quicker installations, and stronger foundations? The choice is obvious!

The I-Drive process begins with an on-site consultation by our owner-led team. We inspect soil conditions, confirm property lines, and recommend the right system for your needs: vinyl, aluminum, wood, agriculture, or commercial chain link. Using hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, we drive each post directly into undisturbed ground, bypassing the mess and structural weaknesses of augured holes and concrete. This ensures that posts resist frost heave and stay solidly in place. Our clean method means no piles of dirt or concrete dust. Yards and job sites remain tidy throughout. For privacy fences, King Plus is the standard. Substituting standard wood posts with deep-set steel for unmatched longevity.
