My spikes arrived with a post level that I ordered in addition to them. As I hammered the spike into place, I used a level halfway through to ensure that it would go in correctly. However, I placed two 2 foot 4x4s in each spike, then hammered the 4x4 until the spike was in place. Currently, I am using 4x4x4's, so I can't tell you how an 8-inch would perform It will do to use a foot post.

In order to install the first anchor, we used a sledge and a scrap 4x4 to drive it My anchor twisted and bent as soon as it reached ground level depth. I must have clipped a rock at that point. The anchor ended up having to be dug out in order to be removed. The path was not blocked by boulders only some decent-sized rocks were in its path. It would have been easier to order more anchors if I had gone another route.
Metal they are made from is very thin for driving into rock, so these are not suitable for driving into solid rock. It would work fine with regular soil. I sprayed 4 coats of truck bed liner on my to take care of the rusting in the ground, as other people also experienced. It will be interesting to see what actually happens with these over a couple of years. I will need to invest in heavy-duty units, but they are very expensive. I hope you are doing well,.
Before, I was able to purchase the Home Depot version of this with no trouble, but only the springs are available. The ground was semi-frozen when I needed to mount a post for our outside path to our deck for pandemic dining (path lighting), and it was below freezing in the winter A frozen state. As I pounded in the piece, I wasn't able to break it. A couple of years ago, I bought one of these to use as a trail sign out in the woods, and it seems to still look brand new after a lot of snow or rain. Adjust the tension). You can also use this for posts to place holiday decorations on, since the tiny blades won't actually harm the lawn when you remove them. Obviously, I have no idea how these things would hold up in sandy soil (our soil is mostly clay), but I imagine they would be very stable in good dense soil.
Three months after the spikes arrived, a few of them broke because of rust. A fence had to be completely redone. I dug up the other two as well and found that they were rusted.
I bent 2 out of 8 while sledgehammering. Though slightly bent, the second one still appears to be fine. You should be cautious. You are most likely to get a sunburn if you live in an area with dry, hard ground, for anchor spikes by sledging a spike in, rolling it, sledging again, rolling and filling up water with the spike. This will help loosen the soil to allow for the anchor spikes to be installed. Despite that, one of them didn't hold up, as I must have hit rocks deeper in the ground.
My posts are elevated by these to keep them safe from damage. To put these bases in the ground, you need to add a piece of 4x4 material and then pound it in. You must think that sounds great, don't you? Now let's say that one wants to obtain some kind of vertical level and in-depth measurements What's the accuracy of a line dimension when you pound something in It will also affect your placement if you hit a hard object (such as a rock). During installation, I noticed that the anchors were fragile and that I had doubts about their durability.
It is unlikely that I would recommend them. During the installation process, all of my anchors hit rocks and began to twist, leaving all of my posts twisted and out of level. Although I managed to level the fence panels, I did not like how the posts looked.
Even though I am 98 lbs, I struggled to dig two holes for one 8ft fence panel. It took me two weeks to complete that project. bought these spikes and wondered why I didn't do so It only took me a half hour to put up two 8-foot privacy screens from a scrap 4x4 block and a baby sledgehammer! The money you spend was well spent!.
