Hey Guys,
I have a new construction job coming up. The job calls for to trench about 1300 feet and run pvc pipe to 23 fence posts that have a stone veneer around them and high light each post with some ground up lights. The up lights will be place in front of each post. I will be stubbing up with two pvc pipes daisy chaining them to the next post and so on. So I will have two stub ups to each post. The lighting designer has not chosen what type of light yet, so I don't know what type of box I will be using. The question is that the two stub ups will be in the middle of the trench. There will be no sona tube or cement used here. Has Caddy or Arlington come out with something to attach these two free standing pipes to? I don't what to be there to hold the pipes straight up while they back fill. I don't want to use pressure treated wood or build a Versabar (Strut, Kindorff) to clamp the pipe to and then sink down a rigid pipe on each end of the versabar and clamp the rigid pipe to the versabar.

Thanks,
Rick

Drive a ground rod and then put a piece of wood or PVC with three holes drilled into it over the pipes and rod?
(Make the hole for the ground rod a through hole and the two holes for the pipe blind holes so that the wood will not slip down?)
No need for pressure treated wood since it will be above ground and you can just take it off and discard it after the pour.
