Ground screws

Steel screws turned into the ground with minimal disturbance, ideal for stony mixed soils and uneven terrain.

What it is

Ground screws are installed with a hydraulic drive that turns them into the soil. They cope with stones that would stop a rammed post and can be adjusted in height, which makes them the first choice on uneven terrain.

Like rammed posts they need no concrete and can be removed without a trace. Installation is slower than ramming, so they are used where the ground demands it.
