FAQs
Can I use this for a permanent fence?
Yes, it is designed for both temporary and permanent outdoor wooden structures.
Does this anchor require concrete?
No, the design allows for direct ground mounting, though some users prefer adding minimal gravel for drainage.
Is the finish resistant to rust?
The anchor features a durable finish designed to withstand outdoor conditions and resist premature corrosion.
What is the best way to drive the spike into hard soil?
Use a heavy mallet or an impact ground sleeve tool to distribute the force evenly and prevent damage to the top of the spike.
Can I use this with non-standard post sizes?
For optimal stability, you should use posts that match the 61 x 61 mm internal dimensions of this specific anchor.
Will this work in sandy soil?
It is best suited for firm, consistent soil. In very loose, sandy, or marshy terrain, you may need additional measures for stability.
Troubleshooting
The spike is tilting during installation
Stop driving immediately. Use a crowbar to loosen the earth on the opposite side of the tilt and push the spike back to vertical before continuing.
The spike hits a large obstacle (stone/root) underground
Do not force the spike as it may deform. Carefully dig around the area to identify the obstruction or relocate the anchor to a clear spot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, clear the ground of debris. Use a spirit level frequently while driving the spike to ensure it remains vertical. The 61 x 61 mm variant is compatible with standard dimensioned timber of matching size; ensure your wood is pressure-treated to prevent rot at the contact point within the sleeve. To maintain the anchor, periodically check that the fastening bolts or screws are tight and inspect the area around the base for signs of soil erosion. If the unit begins to lean, use a tamping tool to re-compact the earth around the perimeter of the spike.
