pound in 3 fence posts A LOT (4 feet or so) in the degree you want your incline to be... drill in a 2x6 on each side of the posts at the top of them..drill in a 2x8 or 2x6 on the top of those depending if you want double wide trex or single wide... drill trex on top ..
we were working on a budget and only had 2 fence posts but made it work and it doesnt move at all

my buddy of mine told me this pretty cool way of getting the fence posts in the ground without pounding them in. He takes a water pump and puts a smaller adapter on the end of the hose, so it produces more power and then he sticks the end of the hose in the ground where he wants the fence post to go and when he has held it in the same spot for a bit, then he sticks the fence post in the hole that the water pump had made (quickly) and after he does this, the crap from the bottom of the lake fills in around the fence post almost as soon as you stop the water pump. I have yet to try this method, but apparently it works for him. _________________ ~ www.integrity-wake.com ~ www.iwinchglobal.com ~ |

price.dan, yup.. people use that technique too... actually there has been some people that put an adapter to the prop of their jetski and it blows a hole in like 10 seconds.. you could probably do a search on that exact peices used because I haven't seen it done in person but we just used the hammer... and sawed off the smash part after it was in deep enough.. |
