Every time that I've used those there seems to be a stone deep down that
couses a twist. It's never near the surface where the twist could be
corrected. With about 50 cm. of fins in the ground and the stone, it's
impossible to twist it back.


Somewhere, I still have the Fensock dummy that goes into the socket
for hammering them into the ground. It's a short length of fence post
but much harder wood, with a metal cap on the top where the hammer
hits it, and a metal rod through it so you can twist to keep the socket
square as you hammer it in. ISTR it was quite expensive, but wouldn't
be hard to make if you could get a short length of 4x4 hardwood.

Andrew, may I ask what you use to post on here?
When you do post your & subsequent replies from others posts lines
do not wrap properly & I have to scroll sideways with the risk of
moving onto the next topic etc.

This only happens on your posts & on any subsequent replies to
your posts...

Just thought I'd ask if there was something not just right at your
end or mine?
