Installation Tips
The 3/8" steel rod is very strong and can be hammered down into the ground in many locations including most rocky and hard soil. For exceptionally hard soil there are two additional options:
Drill a Pilot Hole
For compacted soil, drill a 6" deep pilot hole in the ground with a 3/16" bit. Be sure to hold the drill perpendicular to the ground so your stake will be straight.
Make a Point
In almost all situations, the pilot hole will work and will be the fastest. However, a second option is to use a grinding wheel to put a point on the bottom of the rod
