If you scan up to the picture of the ground tubes (2nd Jan) you will notice that some of the tubes are straight at the bottom with nothing to serve as an anchor point to the concrete. These posts are very easy to twist over time and slide out of the concrete. My advise would be to drill through these at the bottom and slide a peice of rebar through to act as an anchor. Since my two of my ground tubes were twisting I had to excavate a a little on one side of the tube so that I could get my drill in parallel to create a hole in the tube with which to place a 6" nail in to serve as an anchor. The hole will be filled more concrete to provide the neccesary strenght. Ideally I wanted to backfill the top 6" of the ground tube holes with soil.
