Ground Screws and Ground Screw Foundations

What Are Ground Screws?

Ground screws are steel foundation posts designed to create strong, stable foundations without the need for concrete. Installed directly into the ground using specialist tools, ground screw foundations provide a faster, cleaner and more predictable alternative to traditional concrete bases.

They are widely used across the UK for decking, sheds, garden rooms, pergolas, fencing, modular buildings and other outdoor structures where speed, accuracy and minimal ground disturbance are essential.
