How is a U-Channel post set into the ground?
A. Our U-Channel mounting posts are designed to be driven into the ground with the aid of a Post Pounder or sledge hammer. An optional Post Pounding Cap is also available to protect the top of the post from the impact damage of the sledge hammer. One end of each post is tapered so that it will drive into the ground slightly easier. It is recommended that 18″ to 24″ of the post’s length be driven into the ground. Please note that U-Channel posts are not designed to be driven into concrete or other hard surfaces.
