How we calculate the ground screw price for installing for your construction project
How much is it worth to not have to dig? When you’re considering choosing ground screws instead of concrete posts, the time you save is one of the biggest arguments. Also think about how much physically demanding work you can avoid with ground screws – concrete is not a lightweight material. The time it saves makes ground screws a very cost-effective solution. The installation only takes a few minutes per screw and you can start building on them immediately.
SOME EXAMPLES
WHICH FACTORS AFFECT THE GROUND SCREWS COST FOR YOUR CONSTRUCTION?
Are you planning to build a lean-to conservatory, a fence, a shed, or perhaps a small cabin or playhouse? Whatever your project, our ground screws offer a clean, efficient, and durable alternative to traditional foundations – tailored precisely to your needs and ground conditions.
To give you an accurate quote, we’ll need a few key details:
- Project type and size
Let us know what you’re planning to build and how many square metres it will cover. Whether it’s a lightweight playhouse or a larger structure with heavier loads, size and intended use matter. - Materials and structural load
What kind of timber or construction material will you be using? Will the structure need to support heavier elements such as a hot tub, glass panels, or an extension in the future? These factors influence the required load-bearing capacity. - Ground conditions
Is the site flat or sloping? Sandy, clay, or firm soil? Ground conditions vary greatly, and screw length and type must be carefully matched to ensure a secure and lasting foundation. - Attachment points and design features
Will you be securing the structure to an existing building using an external beam or similar solution? Does your fence need to withstand high wind loads, or will it allow airflow? Will the fence posts or structural supports have specific dimensions? - Location
Let us know where in the UK the project is located. Local conditions such as wind exposure, soil types, and terrain all help us determine the optimal installation setup.
If you’re working with a prefabricated kit or have technical drawings available, we can calculate your quote more quickly and accurately.
As you can probably tell, selecting the right type and length of ground screw depends on many factors — from soil composition and terrain to design, load and local conditions. That’s why it’s difficult to make general recommendations without knowing the specifics of your project.
Let us help you make the right choice. Tell us about your plans, and we’ll guide you towards the most stable, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for your site.
EARTH SCREW OR GROUND SCREW
STOP DIGGING’S GROUND SCREWS COMPARED WITH OTHER BRANDS
You can buy ground screws in several different places – but not Stop Digging’s ground screws. We want to emphasise that our screws should not be confused with the type of ground screw or anchor sold at DIY stores.
Stop Digging’s ground screws are in a class of their own. They are not sold in the construction trade and are not comparable to other brands (like Stavrex or Krinner). Stop Digging does not sell ground screws for self-installation – you buy them directly from us, we install them professionally for you and after installation you can get on with your construction immediately.
SCREWS FOR EVERYTHING
GROUND SCREW COST VARIES
Stop Digging’s screws are available in different models and sizes, with different prices to follow suit. What is common to all our ground screws is that they are only sold assembled and ready.
The adapter screw has a mounting plate that can be adjusted in height and width for maximum precision, and the post screw is exactly what is sounds like – a ground screw with a fastening part adapted for posts. The beam screw is the right choice for installing external beams and building floors, whereas the pipe screw is an excellent foundation for traffic signs, for example.
The price can also vary depending on the difficulty of the installation, such as when there are rocks in the ground and a steel stud anchor is required. Our experienced installers can deal with all the challenges that can arise! The installation is carried out using Stop Digging’s specially developed equipment and tools, in which all our installers are rigorously trained, insured and certified to use.
