Anyone know the fastest/easiest way to install these 8' rods? It's a pain
in the ass pounding them 3/4 of the way down, hitting a rock or other and
then pulling it back out. Thanks


Reference only codes, this post is from my memory, and can be flawed.


3/4 down is 6', if you have rocky soil, then the code allows for you
to drive the rod at an angle, up to 45 degrees. That might be enough
to get your rod completely flush with the ground.

Tips:

1. Put your Acorn Clamp on first.
2. Drive the rod after it rained hard.
3. If all else fails, you are allowed to dig down two feet and lay
the rod in.

You have options, check your codes.
