SETTING UP A RAIL

WANNA BUILD A 30FT RAIL. IT WILL BE IN LIKE 10FT OF WATER. ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO SINK AND SET THE 4BY4 IN WATER THAT DEEP?

rent scuba gear and an air compressor.... if the sold is loose....

On our private lake we are setting ours fairly close to shore so that it can be reached by an excavator. And driving the posts down with the bucket off that. I don't know if you're accessible to something like that (My dad owns an excavating business) But something to think about. Probably the easiest way.

THANKS NICK BUT THE ONLY ACCES I WOULD HAVE IS BY LEVIE AND I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SET IT AT LEAST 15FT AWAY OR MORE TO STAY AWAY FROM THE ROCKS

We installed ours with legs that are metal, have 3 foot long square tub feet that reach out on each side of the legs and then installed 60lbs weights on each end of the feet. It is rock solid. Hook a chain and pull it out with a pickup.

THANKS I'LL TRY THAT OUT

any other ideas

I would use metal as well, then at the 3rd/4th foot from the bottom have a metal plate welded so it will have down in the dirt 4ft then maybe a 2x2 foot each leg will stand on.

I barely understand what I wrote so it would look sorta like this

Nick, nice picture, I stole it... This is what we did and the plates on the ends that are bolted to the legs made it solid.
