The SecureFix Direct Angle Steel Stake is an essential anchoring solution designed for caravan owners looking to improve vehicle stability and prevent storm displacement. It is ideal for both touring and static caravan setups, providing a heavy-duty tethering point that minimizes rocking and unwanted movement. While these stakes offer industrial-strength security, users should note that they require manual effort to drive into the ground or professional-grade installation if opting to cement them for permanent sites.

While the spike is designed for standard soil, very rocky ground may cause the stake to deflect. In such cases, a pilot hole may be required.
Soft sand does not provide enough friction for these stakes. They are best suited for firm, compact earth or grass.
For optimal results, drive the stake deep enough so that only the connection hole remains accessible above the ground level.
Yes, as a raw steel finish, it may develop surface oxidation. This does not usually affect the structural integrity but can be prevented with rust-proof paint.
The weight capacity is heavily dependent on the ground density and the angle of installation, rather than the steel itself, which is industrial-grade.
Angle the stake further away from the object being tethered (ideally at 45 degrees) and drive it deeper into the ground until the hole is just above the surface.
Ensure your shackle pin diameter is less than 10 mm. If it is too tight, you may need to use a smaller rated shackle or a heavy-duty carabiner.
For installation, ensure you have a heavy-duty sledgehammer if driving directly into the earth. If placing in permanent ground, consider excavating a small hole, inserting the stake, and surrounding the base with quick-set concrete for maximum leverage. The stake is compatible with most standard Dee Shackles, but always check that your shackle pin fits the 10.5 mm aperture before attempting installation. To maintain the stakes, inspect for surface oxidation periodically. While the self-colour finish is durable, applying a thin coat of rust-inhibiting paint or grease before long-term storage can significantly extend the lifespan of the steel.
