Pile guide

A method of adjusting a pile guide, comprising:

• providing a pile guide comprising:
• a base frame;
• and a pile guide member which is mounted on the base frame and defines a passageway with an inner peripheral surface to which a plurality of elongate members are attached, the plurality of elongate members being configured to engage a pile and guide it in a predetermined direction through the passageway as it is driven into a substrate, with at least one elongate member and the inner peripheral surface of the passageway having releasable inter-connecting profiles for releasably attaching the at least one elongate member to the inner peripheral surface;
• removing the at least one elongate member by disconnecting the interconnecting profiles;
• providing at least one other elongate member with substantially the same interconnecting profile as the at least one elongate member, but which is configured to project a different amount into the passageway when interconnected to the corresponding profile on the inner peripheral surface of the passageway;
• and
• attaching the at least one other elongate member to the inner peripheral surface by interconnecting their respective profiles.

A pile guide for supporting a pile as it is driven into a substrate, comprising:

• a base frame;
• and
• a pile guide member for guiding a pile as it is driven into a substrate when the base frame is resting thereon, the pile guide member comprising two parts each moveable between an operative position and an inoperative position, each part being pivotally mounted on the base frame by a support member for rotation about a respective first pivot axis;
• wherein each part of the pile guide member is pivotally coupled to its support member for rotation about a respective second pivot axis which is spaced from the respective first pivot axis.
