Screw-In Ground Anchor 40 cm

The Schutznetze24 screw pickets were used over a 14 day (2 week) period as anchors to restrain the aerostat shown in the attached photographs. The photo on 4 Nov shows the 5 m diameter discus form aerostat laid out flat on a 6 m square ground sheet. The ground sheet's corners are tucked beneath (so it looks octagonal). Difficult to see, the aerostat in this photo also is held by 4 white lines (2 mm diameter) to the Schutznetze24 screw pickets installed at the 4 ground positions made available from tucking the ground sheet corners below - so is anchored (fixing the aerostat's position). The screw pickets were easy to install in the sandy soil of the region and subsequently held well. Inflation of the aerostat then proceeded. 2 weeks later photo p1 shows the aerostat still inflated and looking good having survived without problems through all weather conditions encountered (wind, rain, blown leaves from nearby trees, sub-zero temperatures most nights and generally cold damp conditions (often misty in the Spreewald region at this time of year). Aerostat deflation and packing then was undertaken. The p11 photo shows a red roller suitcase beside the ground sheet (still with its corner tucked below). It contains the aerostat folded and packed into it. The ground sheet later also was packed and put into the suitcase. In front of the red suitcase is the blower in a box with hoses used to inflate the aerostat. Beside the suitcase are red and white cotton bags used to carry the pickets. These are shown on the ground sheet in front - 16 small tent pegs for the ground sheet and the 4 larger screw pickets used to restrain the aerostat. There also is a bar between them used for screw picket ground installation/removal.
I am very pleased with the Schutznetze24 screw pickets, which were perfect for the purpose of anchoring the aerostat. As my aerostat project develops, intended for both tethered and free flight as an airship, I will be buying many more Schutznetze24 screw pickets - although that depends on customers who want to buy and fly the aerostat. I have a news item and many more photos if people would like to read/see more about the project.

We made our pond child-safe with a safety net. This was secured to the ground with ground anchors and snap hooks. The ground anchors can be easily screwed into the ground (when it has rained). We have very stony and very hard ground, but when the ground was wet it worked wonderfully. The ground anchors are rock solid. translated, original text: "Wir haben mit einem Schutznetz unseren Teich kindersicher gemacht. Unter anderem wurde dieses mit Erdankern und Karabinern am Boden befestigt. Die Erdanker lassen sich (wenn es geregnet hat) einfach in den Boden drehen. Wir haben sehr steinigen und sehr harten Boden, aber als der Boden feucht war ist es wunderbar gegangen. Die Erdanker sitzen felsenfest."

Ideal for securing nets etc. Great quality! The screw-in ground anchors offer an ideal length to provide enough support for the net and ensure safety. Screwing them into the ground was no problem after a rainy day. Good workmanship translated, original text: "Ideal zur Sicherung von Netzen etc. Super Qualität! Die Einschraub-Erdanker bieten eine ideale Länge um genug halt für das Netz zu bieten und die Sicherheit zu gewährleisten. Das Einschrauben in den Boden war nach einem Regentag kein Problem. Gute Verarbeitung"

Great quality. Screws into the ground very well with the help of a pole. Sticks absolutely firmly in the ground. translated, original text: "Super Qualität. Schraubt sich mit Hilfe einer Stange sehr gut in den Boden. Steckt absolut fest im Boden."

The ground hooks appear to be stable. They can be anchored well in the ground even on hard ground. translated, original text: "die Erdhaken machen einen stabilen Eindruck. Lassen sich auch bei festen Boden gut im Boden verankern."

The product is easy to handle and has very good pull-out security. translated, original text: "Das Produkt ist gut zu handhaben und hat eine sehr gute Auszugssicherheit."
