I thought the same thing.
How deep are the stilts that support a house on the beach? Anyone know?
Dependent on soil conditions, but (rarely) 20’ to well over 100’ on the other (also rare) end of the spectrum. 40-60 is the norm from what i’ve seen.
I think code on Galveston requires at least 8 feet. My folks house had them 8 feet in the ground and 6 foot above. That was behind the seawall 65th and Heard’s lane.
