Claim:
1. A ground mounted structure, comprising: a structure mounted to a ground mounting pole having a proximal end extending from the ground, and a distal end 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 to accommodate a pole driving plunger, said pole having a pointed cap at the pole's distal end, a tube spacer mounted to the cap within a hollow of the pole, and a follower that is mounted to the cap via the tube spacer, said pole further having at least one stabilizing element adjacent the pole distal end wherein said at least one stabilizing element adjacent the pole distal end comprises at least one flat plate extendable through a slot in a wall of the hollow pole, adjacent the distal end thereof, said pole further including at least one plate roller adjacent the pole distal end thereof for shaping and directing the at least one flat plate sideways from the pole, wherein the at least one plate roller is positioned in an intersecting position of a longitudinal plane of the at least one flat plate and fixed to allow the at least one flat plate to move over relative to the at least one plate roller in the axis of the elongate hollow pole when the at least one flat plate is extended; and wherein said follower is spaced from said wall of the hollow pole to define a gap configured to accommodate said at least one stabilizing element.
