Orange Screw The Ultimate Ground Anchor

These ground anchors are your go-to solution for securing tents, tarps, pets & more in any terrain.

Orange Screw ground anchors take care of your stuff so you can focus on what you love to do. Secure your tent so you get a rejuvenating night's sleep in the wilderness. Anchor the beach shelter and head out for a surf knowing it's secure if the wind picks up. Tether your llama and relax knowing they aren't going on a late night walkabout. Lock down an inflatable bounce house and crack a frosty beverage knowing that the big kids are not going to send it into the neighbor's garden.


One of the features that is unique to Orange Screw ground anchors is the clear sleeve that we call the T-Grip Tool. This seemingly simple tube stores on a screw when not in use but transforms into a T-Grip by inserting it through the primary eyelet. It allows for increased leverage when inserting the screws into firm or challenging soils.

FAQs

What is the best way to insert the ground anchors for maximum hold?

We recommend inserting the screws in a vertical orientation all the way to the top eyelet- no threads should be exposed. Once inserted, you can pull at any angle off the screw head.

What is the load capacity of the large and small ground anchors?

This is a tricky question to definitively answer. There are so many unknowns above and below the anchoring surface such as soil type, soil moisture, weather, how deep the screws are installed, what is being anchored, etc. We have tested and found maximum pullout resistance in a firm dry soil consisting of turf, clay, and fine gravel. Large Ground Anchor: Vertical pull: 419 pounds, 45* angle pull: 624 pounds Small Ground Anchor: Vertical pull: 262 pounds, 45* angle pull: 389 pounds

Do they work in snow and ice?

Our ground anchors work very well in packed snow but not ice. The screws are plastic and do not have a cutting edge for ice penetration. We have seen great success using the large ground screws for on-slope canopies at ski races.

What's the most unique thing that Orange Screw gound anchors have been used for?

Orange Screws have been used in an seafloor sediment study in the Gulf of Mexico that was conducted by a national engineering firm. Scuba divers inserted our large ground screws into the ocean floor to hold floats that were GPS tagged. Two weeks later the divers returned to find all their floats in place.

Our Story

Why Would Anyone Try to Re-Invent the Tent Stake?

Kirby created the Orange Screw out of a passion for spending time outdoors with family and friends. Frustrated with traditional stakes that often bent or pulled out, he sought a better solution. He envisioned a stake that could easily screw into the ground, providing superior holding power and reliability. The design features a spiral shape, allowing it to grip securely in most soil types, from sandy to firm. The bright orange color not only makes it highly visible but also adds a fun element to camping gear. Kirby aimed to make outdoor adventures more enjoyable and worry-free, ensuring that campers could set up their shelters with confidence, no matter the conditions. Ultimately, the Orange Screw reflects Kirby's commitment to innovation, sustainability & domestically produced products.
