Fence posts in runny sand

Page 1 of 1
Hello,

I am looking to install a fence but I tried to dig the holes with a post digger I realised the sand is very runny. Very, very runny. It just slides off the sides of the post digger.

I tried wetting the sand but even then it keeps collapsing in.

So I was thinking of another idea:


It's just 2-3 posts that will need to do that way.

Does anyone see any risks with this approach?

Thanks.
