Vinyl fencepost for sewer hose storage

[RetiredBob]

I'm going to mount a 5"x5" vinyl fencepost for sewer hose storage. I'd like to drill a series of holes along the bottom to allow any liquid to drain out. How can I drill the holes without leaving burrs on the inside that could snag the hose?

I always use a soldering Iron with a large tip on it. Burns a perfect hole and guaranteed not to leave a burr.

Use a Deburring tool.

Drill the holes in the top and let liquid evaporate
Heat a piece of pipe with a portable propane torch and melt holes in the bottom if you must
Good Luck, Mike
PS hold the pipe with vice grips

Why not sand them down a bit? You could rig something up where you used a broom handle or something to extend the reach of your sand paper.

Ya know, that's a darn good question. I sure never thought about it when I did mine. I guess in hindsight I would only drill the holes closer to the openings where I could reach them to deburr them and let the natural back and forth around corners and such to drain.
