Ground mounting assembly

A method of ground mounting a structure, comprising:

• forming a mounting assembly by driving a plurality of posts into the ground, each of said posts being connected to a stabilizing element;
• and
• attaching the structure to an above-ground portion of said mounting assembly, wherein said posts are driven into the ground to a first position that is below a target position, and thereafter pulling said posts upward to said target position.

A ground mounting assembly comprising a hollow pole with a pointed cap at the pole's distal end, wherein the hollow pole has one or more latitudinal slots through the pole wall from an interior cavity to an outside surface of the pole and rods protrude into the interior cavity of the hollow pole;

• wherein the pole contains a rotary mechanism for deploying at least one stabilizing plate or bar and a central keyway;
• and
• wherein the stabilizing plates and bar are attached to the rotary mechanism by at least one pivot point located within the rotary mechanism and the stabilizing plates or bars are reversibly deployed by rotation of the rotating mechanism, wherein the rotating mechanism comprises a rotating wedge wherein the wedge has a top surface, one or more side surfaces with grooves or channels oriented at a desired pitch and count longitudinally around the side surface and one or more angled wedge surfaces with the wide portion of the wedge closest to the side surface and a key extension extending from the narrow portion of the wedge.

A ground mounting assembly having a distal end and a proximal end, comprising a formed shape with a geometric crosscut profile, wherein the profile is a partial geometric shape with at least one open side, and wherein the distal end is formed as a pointed cap with a crosscut profile of a geometric shape that forms a half pyramid scoop, wherein two or more of the ground mounting assemblies are configured to be nested or stacked together.

A ground mounting structure, comprising:

• a ground mounting pole having a proximal end adapted to extend from the ground, and a distal end adapted to be driven into the ground, wherein the ground mounting pole comprises an elongate hollow pole, said elongate hollow pole being open at the pole's proximal end and sized and shaped to accommodate a pole driving plunger or ram having one or more wedge faces, said hollow pole having a pointed cap at the pole's distal end, said hollow pole further having at least one stabilizing element slidably carried inside the hollow pole adjacent the hollow pole's distal end wherein said at least one stabilizing element adjacent the hollow pole distal end comprises at least one flat plate having a distal end positioned adjacent a slot in a wall of the hollow pole, adjacent the pole distal end thereof, said hollow pole further including slotted winglets configured to extend from an exterior wall of the hollow pole, wherein the pole driving plunger or ram comprises a roller-free porcupine structure.

A ground mounting structure comprising a ground mounting pole having a proximal end adapted to extend from the ground and a distal end adapted to extend into the ground, said pole having at least one pivotally mounted plate attached thereto and adapted to be locked in place to resist uplift and/or downward thrust, wherein the ground mounting pole includes a locking/unlocking mechanism actuator accessible from above ground, wherein the locking mechanism actuator comprises a wire, rod or chain.

A ground mounting structure comprising an elongated ground mounting pole open at one side thereof, said pole having a pointed end cap at a distal end, and an elongated geometric open shape terminating in a reinforced strike plate at a proximal end, wherein the distal end forms a pointed scoop, said pole also having one or more reinforcing winglets between the distal end and the proximal end, and wherein the structure is configured to be nestable within a second structure and having a similar shape and size.
