Install Pipe
1 Using a sledge hammer, drive the pipe into the ground until the bottom of the sleeve is just below the ground. This is the maximum depth. If your ground is too hard, just drive the pipe until it feels secure in the ground. In some ground conditions, this could be as little as 18”.

Please check level in both directions at about 12” intervals as you pound the pipe into the ground. Usually, after the pipe is about 18” into the ground, the trajectory of the pipe is established and you cannot pull the pipe back into level.
