What Are Screw-In Camping Ground Anchors Used For?

Typical applications, the industries that specify screw-in camping ground anchors, and how to choose the right size, material and finish for the joint.

Screw-In Camping Ground Anchors are used for holding guy lines and temporary outdoor equipment in soil with a helical screw-in anchor. They are manufactured to Trade series (recreational ground anchors), and selection is driven by the nominal diameter, the fit and tolerance the assembly requires, and the service environment.

The primary duty of Screw-In Camping Ground Anchors is holding guy lines and temporary outdoor equipment in soil with a helical screw-in anchor. Below: the sectors that specify them in volume, the checklist used to select the right size and material for the application, installation notes, and the known limits of the type.

Typical Applications for Screw-In Camping Ground Anchors

The most common settings where these are specified:

  • Camping and shelter: Screw-in anchors hold guy lines in soil where a driven stake may pull out.
  • Temporary canopies: Flight diameter and length are selected for the soil condition.
  • Outdoor equipment: Steel and nylon-blend forms cover different weight and load needs.
  • Soft-ground setup: The longer Pro I and Pro II forms provide more engagement in loose soil.

How to Specify Screw-In Camping Ground Anchors for Your Application

  • Size: Match the size to the mating part — see the dimension table below for each option.
  • Material: Choose the material and finish for the service environment — plated steel for general use, stainless for corrosion resistance.
  • Environment: For damp, coastal or chemical exposure prefer A4/316 stainless or a suitable coating; indoors, plated steel or A2 is usually sufficient.
  • Standard: This product is supplied to Trade series (recreational ground anchors). Quoting the standard on your order guarantees interchangeable dimensions between suppliers.

Where Screw-In Camping Ground Anchors Are Not the Right Choice

Match the fastener to the load, environment and whether the joint must be reopened; the wrong class or style is the usual cause of joint failure.

Inside the plant

Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

  1. Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine
    01

    Cold heading

    Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail.

    Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.

  2. Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads
    02

    Thread rolling

    Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch.

    Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.

  3. Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment
    03

    Heat treatment

    Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it.

    Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.

  4. Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket
    04

    Surface treatment

    Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list.

    Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right size of Screw-In Camping Ground Anchors?
