after 23 years the airer became wobbly because the socket had rusted away.the new socket fits the old airer perfectly. Unless the ground is hard and dry, you can drive it into the ground. Cut into the ground with sharp spade, then i probed the target spot with a steel bar a couple of times until i missed the stones or was able to remove them. Once the route was clear enough, then insert the socket and drive it in with a lump hammer onto a piece of scrap timber, which was shattered by the time the socket was flat to the ground.For someone else the installation was much harder. When the ground is too hard to dig, due to stones or concrete hardened clay, you need to buy a heavy lump hammer and steel spike and bash away, soak with water, until a hole is chiselled out of the ground, which is like a mining operation! Make sure you go deep enough for the socket - you won't have time to deepen it once the concrete goes in. Fill hole with water and pour in 2 bags of postcrete, which sets really fast, so you need to get the socket in fast, immediately, put in the airer, again immediately, and get it plumb, hold for a few minutes and have a rest.

The outside wings did not appear as per the diagram but it’s very sturdy and was easy to put in.

Larger than I expected but appears well made. Not easy to install - you need the ground to be soft and a sledgehammer or mallet to drive it in. I don't think a normal hammer would be enough. Use a block of wood on top of the spike to prevent damage from the sledgehammer. You also need to check it's still vertical after each strike. But it's worth taking a few minutes extra installing it because it fits my Brabantia washing line perfectly and holds it really well. I'd happily buy another.

I recently moved house and took my rotary dryer with me, so I needed another ground spike as my old one was cemented into the ground. I found that my previous one tended to lean over to one side, as the grass around the cement became soggy and allowed for a small degree of movement so this one appealed because it looked heavy and robust…and it is!!! On arrival it is a bit of a beast at a good 18 inches long, over 5cm diameter and fairly hefty in the hand. I was a little apprehensive about hammering it into the ground, such was the size. ( imagine having to hammer a small thermos flask into the ground! That will give you some idea). However I found the following technique helped: in order to avoid hitting stones or bricks, I took a thin, straight, long piece of wire from a coat hanger, and walked round the garden pushing it into the lawn until I could find a clear, unobstructed foot and a half spot. ( This took a long while - I was surprised how many obstacles there were!) . I then used various lengths of poles, canes etc in varying thicknesses, to sort of “build up” to the end goal. So by gradually working my way up it made installation of the final product much easier. (It went something like this: thin piece of wire, pencil, bamboo cane, piece of copper piping I had lying about, Broom-handle and and old curtain pole) To install the ground spike still took considerable effort and I don’t think it will be coming out if I ever move again! However I’ve managed to keep it straight and true, ( establishing a good straight vertical line with the thinner wire helped here) and there is no “play” in it when it is in the ground and the dryer inserted. Alj performs exactly as expected without having to cement it in. When the grandkids are playing I can just lift out my rotary dryer and put the bright yellow cap on the end so no one will fall on it and injure themselves. Plus I can run my lawnmower over the top of it to cut the surrounding grass without catching the blade on it no problem!I am thrilled with the product, easily worth the money, and it helped that I managed to pick it up a little cheaper under a Amazon warehouse deal.

Really strong and perfect for the job

Love the design of this and seems strong enough but the only down size for me is I think it could do with being 2 inches deeper

As described works perfectly

It was a replacement for my clothesline. I returned it because it was too small, but it looked very sturdy!

Très pratique, ne nécessite pas de béton.Rentre facilement avec une masse ( mettre une petite planche de bois entre l'ancrage et la masse ) j'ai utilisé mon sèche linge tout l'été et l'ancrage n'a pas bougé.Je suis ravie.

La qualité au rendez-vous

Das Teil hält wirklich bombenfest im Boden!Wir hatten vorher eine Verankerung aus Plastik, die in Boden "geschraubt" wurde - die hat zwar im ersten Jahr auch noch gut gehalten - aber aufgrund der Form hat sich die Konstruktion dann noch immer weiter über die Monate durch Wind und Regen geneigt (wir nutzen es für unsere Wäschespinne).Die längliche H-Form dieser Verankerung sitz einfach bombenfest im Boden und kann sich gar nicht mehr so neigen, wie eine einfach in den Boden geschraubte Halterung - sind höchst zufrieden mit dieser Lösung!Die Halterung besteht komplett aus dickem Metall (ausser innen befindet sich ein Plastik Mantel für die Halterung der Stange) und fühlt sich dadurch schwer und hochwertig an.Die Halterung kann ausserdem komplett bündig in den Boden geschlagen werden (war bei unserer alten Halterung auch nicht möglich).Dadurch kann ich die Wäschespinne aus der Halterung nehmen und einfach bündig mit dem Rasenmäher drüber fahren - sehr praktisch!Das einzige, worum ich mir bei dem Teil Sorgen mache, ist, wie ich es irgendwann mal wieder aus dem Boden raus bekomme :-D (Aber da muss dann halt die Schaufel / der Spaten rann)Achtung: Die Halterung wird in den Boden "geschlagen" - wenn ihr das mit einem Hammer (wie ich) macht, legt einen Schutz darüber (zB ein Holzbrett), sonst beschädigt / verbiegt ihr die Konstruktion.
