Say 4'?
Need to have some threads in the ground, and shear is more the concern than pulling out. I have a rotary hammer with sds plus connector, and have seen some ground rod hammer adaptors for that.
Is it doable? What would my concerns be? Id use threaded rod of 1/2 or 5/8" size, and could grind a point into the end of it if that somehow helps. I could also cut the hammered section (leave it a little long) and chase the threads.
The other option might be to drive a ground rod and then use a die to cut threads.
Thoughts/recommendations?
