Abstract
A pile guide () for supporting a pile as it is driven into a substrate () comprises a base frame () having a substrate-engaging surface () and a pile guide member () mounted on the base frame via a support member (), the pile guide member being configured to guide a pile in a predetermined direction therethrough as it is driven into a substrate. The support member () comprises first and second parts () which are pivotally coupled together to permit pivotal movement of the pile guide member () relative to the base frame about a first axis of rotation (AA). The support member () further comprises third and fourth parts () which are pivotally coupled together to permit pivotal movement of the pile guide member () relative to the base frame () about a second axis of rotation (BB), enabling pivotal movement of the pile guide member () relative to the base frame () with two degrees of rotational freedom.
