FAQs
What size airer poles will this ground spike accommodate?
This Addis Ground Spike is designed to fit airer poles and similar outdoor equipment with a diameter of 3.2cm (32mm).
Can I install this spike in concrete or very hard ground?
No, this ground spike is specifically designed for installation in soft ground such as soil, grass, or lawns. It is not suitable for concrete, rocky terrain, or asphalt as it requires soft ground for deep and secure anchoring.
Is the ground spike rust-resistant?
Yes, the Addis Ground Spike is made from galvanised zinc, which provides excellent resistance against rust and corrosion, making it durable for outdoor use.
How deep should the ground spike be inserted?
For maximum stability, the ground spike should be inserted as deeply as possible into the ground, ensuring it stands vertical. Its total height is 39cm.
Will this spike fit all Addis rotary airers?
It is designed to fit Addis rotary airers that have a pole diameter of 3.2cm. Always check the specifications of your specific Addis airer model to ensure compatibility.
Do I need any special tools to install the spike?
Generally, no special tools are required beyond a soft ground area. In very firm soil, a rubber mallet can be used to gently tap the spike into place, taking care not to damage the opening.
Troubleshooting
Spike will not go into the ground easily.
Ensure the ground is soft enough. If the soil is very dry and hard, try watering the area thoroughly the day before installation to soften it. Avoid rocky or paved areas.
Rotary airer feels wobbly after installation.
First, ensure the ground spike is inserted vertically and as deeply as possible. If it's not fully vertical, it can reduce stability. Second, confirm your airer's pole diameter is exactly 3.2cm. A slightly smaller pole will result in a loose fit. Consider shimming with a thin, durable material if the pole is slightly undersized.
Airer pole gets stuck inside the spike.
Ensure the airer pole is clean and free of debris before insertion. If stuck, try twisting and pulling. Applying a small amount of silicone spray or grease to the inside of the spike (avoiding the bottom for stability) can help with smoother insertion and removal.

Setup: Choose a soft, level patch of ground, ideally grass or soil. Position the spike where you intend your airer to stand. Firmly push and twist the spike into the ground. For optimal stability, ensure the spike is inserted as deeply as possible and stands perfectly vertical. You may use a mallet if necessary, striking the flat top of the spike gently, ensuring not to damage the opening. Once the spike is firmly in place, insert your rotary airer pole into the opening. Compatibility: This ground spike is specifically designed to fit rotary airer poles and other outdoor equipment with a 3.2cm (32mm) diameter. It is compatible with Addis rotary airers and many other brands. Always measure your airer's pole diameter before purchase to ensure a correct fit. Care: The galvanised zinc construction is inherently low-maintenance. Periodically check for any accumulated dirt or debris around the opening and clean with a damp cloth if necessary. While designed for outdoor resilience, storing the spike indoors during extreme winter conditions or when not in use for extended periods can prolong its lifespan. Ensure no water collects inside the spike's opening if left exposed to rain.
