                Answer This Question

                Hello, You don't need tools or machinery to install our piles, simply using a 2x4 piece of lumber and turning around. However it is possible to use our 1" adapter and a power tools such as 1" impact wrench to install them. For more details please contact us : info@pylex.com. Best Regards.

                  Product itself is nice with the attached adjustable bracket. I tried to screw it into the ground as instructed. But if you have rocky fill or soil you will have to hand do your hole all but 6”. That’s as far as I could screw it in and compact the pylon down. I’m sure in soil types without 1” size rocks and larger, this would be able to screw down 50”. The product overall accomplished deck post anchors below frost grade, but I could have also poured concrete after my rocky holes were dug. I will give the benefit of the doubt with 4 stars but beware of rocky soil types.

                  I ordered 10 of these for a few small decks we had. This was the first time we used anything like this. They did work well. I don't know how big or tall a deck I would build off of the Pylex Piles, but they worked great for our 5'x10'x30" tall deck. We did have to buy a 1" impact driver to install them and make our own bit/socket. I also had to contact the company directly to obtain the testing specifications before our city would permit us to use them, but they did pass all the building codes in our area.

                  Hello, Helical Pile 1'' Installation Adapter (1-Socket) (10540) is also available online at Home Depot. The Pylex 50 installs very easily manually using a 2''x4'' board as lever. Thanks Pylex

                  Great idea, terrible construction / metal fabrication
                  I bought to anchor in a post in Upstate NY (where soil is about 18 inches of clay before a few feet of sandy loam). I followed all instructions, and probing the ground with rebar to over five feet to make sure no rocks were obstructing (they were not). Everything was working like a dream for the first two feet - but as I turned (using 2x4 per instructions) for the final foot, the entire shaft of the pile simply warped and broke into pieces - pictures attached. I can only assume that this was either a fabrication issue (as reading the reviews now others seem to have had similar failures), or the gauge of the design is too thin and simply gets stressed after driving down a few feet. I'm really upset not only because my project is now delayed, but I have no idea how I will be able to remove the existing broken pile out of the space I need (pipe wrench will be first attempt, but have to imagine its going to break more under that strain). Overall good idea, but I wish I bought a better brand.

                    This Metal Post was good to hold Up my clothesline, stronger. I put it in Concrete because of a vandal broke the same 4 x 4. I sold it flat and put it on a metal spike that goes in the ground And also in Concrete. I dug deep enough to keep it strong

                    Good value, but a delicate product
                    Needs to be made of heavier gauge material. References are made to using a "3/4" impact socket connected to a 1" impact driver to drive the ground screw, but the inside dimension of the cap is such that the 3/4" impact socket fits quite loose. We had to incorporate metal shims to keep it from rounding out the inside of the ground screw once it started hitting harder soil. Beam receiver metal is too thin gauge and welds broke upon compacting with a sledge hammer although we used a 4x4 block.

                    Hello SIr,
                    We do not recommend to install them from the inside but using a adapter that will cover the piles from the outside. The piles isn't meant to be installed using a 3/4" impact wrench. Please send us a email and we will let you know the recommended installation method using a impact wrench : info@pylex.com. Thanks Pylex

                        I ordered these to anchor a roof over a paver patio to cover my grill. I thought it would be less intrusive than to remove multiple pavers to dig and put in so no tubes. I was disappointed for several reasons. They are very hard to keep straight going down and once they start going crooked there is no real way to fix., even when using the rebar first. Also, even after using rebar to be sure there is a clear path, I encountered a rock or something down around 36 inches. Following the video, I used an 8 foot 2x4 to wind it into the ground. When the point encountered whatever was down there and I used a bit of force to clear it, the metal split on the top piece where it fit over the lower piece. I had high hopes, but ultimately wasted my time and money with this approach.

                        Adjustable 32-inch foundation screw.
                        Let me tell you this, the Adjustable 32-inch foundation screw is something I myself had never seen before. I needed to build a sturdy platform for a 12x14 screenhouse and with a bit of exercise screwing theses in WOW what a difference that made as far as strength holding the weight of this screen house. I couldn't be any happier. I strongly recommend that if your replacing or building a deck to use the Adjustable 32-inch foundation screws. You will not REGRET buying these.
