@@michaelandersson3305 pain in the arse, we put in 6 of them, after installing them, we both agreed it would have been quicker to dig and concrete, and trying to be accurate with them was a dead-set bastard.
@@prophetanarchy2355 thanks for the reply! So hey, I'm an engineering student and I'm working on my thesis which concerns self installation of ground anchoring. If you have the time and patience, would you go into more specifics about your experience?
@@michaelandersson3305 ill have to go step by step. Im a carpenter with many years experience. It doesnt take long to dig a hole, it use to be quicker when I was younger. The traditional method of installing a footing doesnt really take long, and getting the footings and pillars/post/whatever at the correct centres is easy. with these screws starting them in the right spot is not an issue, its what lies beneath. If you hit a rock of root or dead body the screw will divert and it will misplace your centres. As it did when we used them. Also the ground was hard. The ground in the clip was easy ground. On our job stuffing around getting them right was time consuming, once they where in we removed 300mm of dirt and concreted around them. What we were doing was a temp structure. Maybe you should have a go at using them. I also predrilled with a 30mm sds bit.
Hi, Thank you for your comments, our ground screws are perfect for garden rooms of all types, for more information please go to www.groundscrewcentre.co.uk
How well suited is this system to an inclined grade? Would you fit the low side screw then have a post on top up to supporting level or are longer screws available that protrude higher out of the ground?
Ive used these helping a mate, we both came to the conclusion that it would have been easier digging and concreting. Cheaper as well.
Might I ask why? Very curious as to how user friendly these are

@@prophetanarchy2355 this is good input - thank you very much!
This is great solution but what is the maximum loading allowed for this type for a small house
This looks more tidy compared to cement base. Are there very sturdy over the years even when the ground moves?
What are the screws made out of
(Galvanised) ?
How likely are they to rust ?
Can you screw it in with an impact driver
Could I go 8 feet down (frost line is berween 6 and 8 feet) witn these?
This is exactly what I’m looking for, would this be sufficient for a garden room

Can these be used for Feather flag poles?
Are they available in US?
Is the foundation still strong?
