Spirafix provides safety first for Cross Country Events
Monday 14th May 2018
There is only one spiral anchor referred to in the British Riding Club Section of the Stewards Handbook for British Eventing for the secure anchoring of portable cross country fences - and that's the Spirafix system. It's well established as a secure fastening because it's tried, its tested, it's well used and easy to install.

Securing temporary screens no issue for Spirafix Ground Anchors
Monday 26th March 2018
We recently had some great feedback on the use of Spirafix Ground Anchors to help secure temporary screens at a large outdoor event. Christ for all Nations, a Ministry for Evangelists, has offices around the globe with its UK offices in Halesowen, England. Derek Murray, Technical Director at Christ for all Nations (CFAN) told us that he and his team were pleased with their decision to use the Spirafix helical anchors - 'Our event took place in November, the anchors were great, but the ground was no challenge to them! We were basically on a swamp..... We will be using them for the second time shortly, so should give them a better test. Overall we're very happy with the package…

After high winds Spirafix remain rock solid
Monday 26th February 2018
It's always great to recieve good feedback, so we were delighted when Morgan Denton, Project Manager at Attend2IT sent us this lovely email. ''We use the Spirafix system to secure the guy lines for our 20M temporary telecoms masts. Normal ground anchors slip over time and need to be checked on regularly and smacked back down. It was when a mast was hit with over 60mph winds for three days on low laying wet ground that we realised just how good they are. After three days of gusty high winds which would normally be too much for a standard ground stake and would force us to drop the mast, we found the Spirafix Ground Anchors simply hadn't moved! They were as…
'The Grand Tour' - and how Spirafix Ground Anchors helped out
Monday 12th February 2018
We recently worked on a project for the Amazon Prime series 'The Grand Tour' featuring Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May for the episode 'Breaking Badly'. As usual the Grand Tour Team were on top form behaving badly and they needed the Spirafix Team to securely fix a jet engine to the ground at Huddersfield International Airport where they were causing mayhem and creating laughs. The stunt itself however was no laughing matter and the H&S team were, quite rightly, watching our every move to ensure compliance with safety regs. They needed 12 tonnes of force to fix the 6 tonnes of thrust from the turbine safely and securely to the ground. We installed 6 of our 75mm anchors and 12 of…
