[TVARC] Ground Rod

[Ed Krome]

You might try renting a fence post driver. This is a 2’ steel pipe with handles and a heavy load in one end. Try Home Depot. 
BTW standing on a ladder pounding a ground rod in with a sledge hammer is probably not the best idea🤪

I suppose a big sledgehammer might do the trick?  But I’m thinking maybe someone has come up some brilliant idea for getting that rod in the ground easily, before I go out and buy one and then start pounding away.
