The SpirafixTM is, without question, the most versatile ground anchoring system yet devised. It
has been used for an extremely wide range of applications, from all types of outdoor play and
sports equipment, to the fixing of sheds, decking, planters, greenhouses, polytunnels, outdoor
furniture, etc.. It can also be used for tethering applications such as inflatables, dinghies and
boats, newly planted trees and many other uses. Just drive it into the ground using a hammer, fix
the appropriate bracket and screws and hey presto, job done! The amazing thing about this anchor is the
ease with which it can be installed (due to its narrow cross section) and the high force needed to break it out of the
ground. To remove them simply unscrew them using any appropriate sized spanner.
Tried...
"The kit was certainly extremely easy to install. I have used it to secure a kids double swing and slide. My only other option, after trying
the pegs that came with the swing, was to dig large holes in the lawn and concrete the pegs into place. I have been putting this off for
quite some time now, and the swing has been unusable in the meantime. Twenty minutes work installing the Spira-Lock kit has
completely secured the apparatus. With both children swinging at the same time it doesn't even move an inch. - Fantastic !! Once
again many thanks for all your help. First class service !!

"Four years ago you installed Spira-Locks to secure our five-a-side goal posts and I am pleased to say that they have been a great
success. We have had no problems whatsoever with either the anchors or the goalposts as they have remained as firmly fixed as the
day you installed them, no mean feat given that our field is open to the public at all times and is very heavily used by children of all
ages."

and tested...
In an independent pull-out test carried out by Harrod UK Limited comparing a "U" peg, a helical auger plate-type anchor and a
standard Spira-LockTM it was found that at a full depth of 600mm the Spira-LockTM exceeded the test rig limit of 600kg. Tests have also
been carried out at Silsoe College, Cranfield University in their soils bin on our spiral wound bar and we have conducted a series of
If you have any applications that you would like to discuss, then why not give us a call. We would be more than happy to talk to you
about them.
This anchor has a head that is threaded, M12 for the 40mm diameter anchors and 50mm for the 50mm. It is generally
more suited for permanant installations and gives a rigid connection between the head, bracket and whatever it is
fixed to. It does, however, take a little longer to install due to the bolted connections. It has a wide variety of suitable
applications and can also be used for tethering purposes. There is a slide hammer available for this type of head
The “C” type head is idealy suited for applications that need an anchor to be installed and removed repeatedly. It
must be used with one of the slotted brackets attached to whatever is being fixed to the ground. The end of the
anchor is dropped through the slot and is then hammered into the ground. Once the underside of the head has
reached the bracket it traps it in place. Any upwards movement by the structure will want to pull the anchor back out
of the ground. However, because it is unable to rotate and therefore unscrew itself it applications.
