Abstract
A load support system includes an elongate support member having a first diameter and first and second ends. The elongate support member includes, toward the first end, a first portion for direct earth burial and further includes, toward the second end, a second portion to which the load can be coupled. The system additionally includes a lateral support having a second diameter greater than the first diameter and a second length less than a first length of the first portion. The lateral support is mounted about the first portion of the elongate support member. The lateral support includes a first opening formed therein at a first location relative to a long axis of the elongate support member and a second opening formed therein at a different second location relative to the long axis in order to support a range of embedment depths.
