“Anyone ever worked with ground screws? They are big in the solar industry where they are working in a big field and putting in hundreds with heavy equipment. I've seen the small DIY ones but it seems like I would want to go below the frost line (36" here).”

”I'm looking to build a treehouse with no tree. A vertical column, probably a steel tube with a couple outriggers to keep it up. I was planning on 3 concrete footings but the location is fairly inaccessible. Manually digging the footings plus carrying the concrete and mixing will be a ton of work so I'm willing to put some effort into installing the ground screws.”

“I think they're more commonly called helical piers or helical piles. My only experience with them is using them as the base for street light poles, but they are an interesting alternative for buildings too.”

“I was involved with a project in Miami Beach FL. The house was supported by helical piers/pilings whichever term you prefer. The tops of the piers were connected via steel and concrete grade beams after piers were set, then house construction commenced.”

”A bobcat attachment was used to install them. There was a device that measured the torque resistance of the earth on the pier which determined when it was "good enough".”
