Those will do well for sure, piles can be great but you hit big rocks where you need it, and .... well you can figure it out, LOL.

I used those under big grain bins. Fourteen under each bin ,six in. dia. And 16 feet long. Similar price to concrete base but will last hundred years.

Steel of some kind. Stainless? Not sure I'll ask
Green is a plastic sleeve that prevents frozen ground from sticking and lifting the pile.
