Product Information

Full details

This 32mm ground spike from B&Q is an essential tool for homeowners looking to securely anchor rotary airers, parasols, or garden equipment directly into their lawn. It provides a stable, wind-resistant foundation thanks to its reinforced cross-shaped base, making it ideal for those needing a permanent or semi-permanent garden setup; however, it is specifically sized for 32mm poles, so users must verify their equipment diameter before purchase.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this spike be used for poles smaller than 32mm?

While it fits 32mm best, smaller poles will be unstable. We recommend using a packing sleeve or shim to ensure a tight fit for smaller diameters.

Is it suitable for sandy soil?

It may be less stable in very loose, dry sand. It is best suited for firm lawn or garden soil where the cross-fins can gain purchase.

Will the gold finish rust over time?

The spike is crafted from galvanised steel, which is specifically treated to be rust-free and corrosion-resistant, even in wet climates.

Can I leave this in the ground all year round?

Yes, its weather-resistant construction allows it to remain in the garden permanently.

What is the total length of the spike?

The spike has a total height of 385mm.

Troubleshooting

Spike will not go fully into the ground

The ground may be too hard or contain rocks. Soak the area with water to soften the soil or relocate the spike slightly.

The airer wobbles inside the spike

Verify the pole is exactly 32mm. If it is thinner, you may need a plastic sleeve adapter to reduce the diameter gap.

Spike rotates in the ground

The cross-shaped base is likely not fully buried. Tap the spike deeper into the ground so that the anchoring fins are completely covered by soil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable galvanised steel construction
  • Effective anti-spin cross-shaped base
  • Weather-resistant and rust-proof
  • Simple, one-piece installation
  • Secure anchoring for windy conditions

Cons

  • Fixed diameter limits compatibility with thicker poles
  • Requires manual effort to drive into hard or rocky ground
  • Gold finish may fade over long-term sun exposure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the ground is damp to make the earth more pliable. Using a rubber mallet, gently tap the top of the spike to drive it straight into the soil until the base sits flush with the lawn level. Avoid striking the top with a metal hammer, as this may deform the opening. Always check that your rotary airer or parasol pole is exactly 32mm in diameter before insertion to ensure a snug fit. For care, wipe down any debris from the internal shaft periodically and ensure the area around the spike remains free of standing water to maintain the galvanised finish.
