I am wanting to run from the ponds bottom up to support a roof for a boat slip for a plastic Pelican style boat. My ponds bank is currently exposed and I can pour concrete footers for whatever. How do I drive Galvanized pipe into the ground without being able to get above it? The pipe will be 15 - 20ft above the ponds bottom.
FWIW My dad was faced with the same problem many years ago when building our first dock. He used an excavator bucket to "push" the pilings into the lake bottom. In our case, it was telephone poles that had been modified to have a point on the downside end.
