I have a similar problem and used a number of shorter ground rods. You can
install the rod on an angle but even a perfectly installed single 8' ground
rod is not a sufficient ground for lightning protection.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Grounding a tower in sand stone
From: Kent Olsen <kilo6dko@gmail.com>

I have my tower up. The next thing I want to do is grounding.
While digging for the foundation of my tower I hit sand stone and about 2
1/2 feet. We broke a back hoe digging through the sand stone.
I would like to pound a 8 foot ground rod in but I do not think I will be
able to do it it all the way in. I have seen some people say you can pound
them in at an angel. Is this ok?? Is it not as well grounded if this is
done??
Thanks
