The Ease of Removing Spirafix Ground Anchors
Wednesday 7th July 2021
With lockdown restrictions finally ending, outdoor events are back! Consumers are beginning to prepare for weddings and birthday parties, and organizers are getting ready for festivals, outdoor theatre and much more!
Spirafix ground anchors are an excellent solution for temporary events where you must remove your fixings once the event is over. Ground anchors can fix event tents in position, so they're safe and secure, for mobile equestrian events, for staging and platforms, and so much more! A significant benefit of Spirafix ground anchors is that they are so easy to remove and leave virtually no trace behind.
Spirafix ground anchors can be impact-driven into earth conditions that other ground anchors simply cannot cope with, including grass, hard compacted ground, ground with large stones, tarmac, buried bricks, chalk and clay. Our anchors are suited for both domestic and commercial settings. They can secure field shelters, pergolas, exterior lighting, polytunnels, marquees, tethering lines, festival scaffolding, portable dugouts, and so much more.
When installing Spirafix ground anchors, it's essential to use a protective hammer cap that helps preserve the anchor's life and keep it from any potential damage. It's also vital to keep the hammer cap flush with the collar and avoid driving on one side.
Installation of our ground anchors can be carried out manually or mechanically with a lump hammer, sledgehammer, slide hammer, petrol post driver, hydraulic post driver or heavy machinery. The tool you need to use depends very much on the ground conditions.
When it comes to removing our ground anchors, all you have to do is first match the anchor size to the removal tool (you can use our handy guide on this page for this). Then simply counter-rotate the anchor until it is entirely removed, then pack it away ready for the next installation. It couldn't be simpler!
Spirafix Ground Anchors are even easier to remove with the use of our extendable ¾ inch drive ratchet. The ratchet is well suited to remove multiple anchors quickly and easily. Using the 400mm ¾ inch drive extension piece brings the user to working height, making it easier to remove anchors.
Spirafix ground anchors are the best ground anchor system for securing outdoor products directly to the ground. They're ideal for temporary events and are re-useable, straightforward and quick to install or remove.
