The GL 68×650×1.8 mm open ground screw is the fastest way to set up a fence or a light garden structure without digging or concrete. The Ø60 mm post or pipe sits directly in the socket and is clamped with three M12 bolts, so you can straighten and centre the post even after installation.

- Can be installed by hand
- Hot-dip galvanised to EN ISO 1461 – long-lasting corrosion protection

Why a ground screw instead of concrete?
A ground screw is a ready foundation in minutes: no excavation, no formwork, no concrete and no curing time. It leaves no construction waste, works even with a high water table, and can be unscrewed and relocated if needed – saving time, labour and often a significant part of the foundation cost.
