A pile is disclosed which includes an elongate member having a longitudinal axis, and an anchoring portion connected to the elongate member. The anchoring portion has a plate and also an arcuate member that is radially spaced from the elongate member. The plate has an arcuate distal edge. The plate is connected to the elongate member at a non-perpendicular angle to the longitudinal axis. The arcuate member is located on the arcuate distal edge of the plate. The plate has a leading portion which includes a lower portion of the arcuate distal edge that extends beyond the arcuate member and engages the earth as the pile is screwed into the ground.
