The general method of installing spirafix^TM anchors is to drive them in with a hammer. This applies to each of the three head types. A

heavy hammer (approx 1.5 to 2 kgs) is best suited for this as it has sufficient momentum, even when travelling slowly, to drive the

anchor into the ground. If a light hammer is used, there is a danger of peening over the head and in the case of the “A” type, it

could prevent the setscrew from being screwed into the head. Usually, all that is needed is short blows of the hammer. If too much

force is used it could drive the anchor in without allowing it to follow its helical path and this may result in ground disturbance that

lowers its pullout force. You may come across small tree roots, bricks, stones and other obstacles that will stop the progress of the

anchor. If this is the case, then a few heavier blows of the hammer will usually do the trick. Care needs to be taken to ensure that

these obstacles are not services. Please check prior to doing any installation
