We had wind lift issues so that will effect your installation. I have used the current Nuance product and prior to that the same manufacturer under a different name. Its more than just driving the rods down we had to do a pull out test. We used hydrolic drivers attacked to the rack due to the necessary torq. We have also used ¹/²" rebar hammer drilled down with a hook on the top so that was easy. Fun times
