Orange Screw Ultimate Ground Anchors: Heavy Duty Screw-in Tent Stakes for High Wind, Sand, Canopies, and Camping - Made in USA, Included T-Grip Tool - (Large, 2 Pack, Orange)

I keep our snowblower in a small tent all winter. I have had an extremely difficult time finding tent stakes that will work in our backyard. We have a tangle of pine tree roots that have broken several steel auger type ground anchors and bested every peg I've tried. With at least two or three other steel auger type anchors I spent an hour or more trying to get them in the ground with zero success. I broke welds and/or bent the augers. Given how many steel anchors I've gone through I was very skeptical that the Orange Screw would work, I did not think any plastic anchor could possibly work, but I gave it a try - and I have been IMPRESSED. I also purchased the tool that allows you to use a drill to drive the Orange Screw into the ground and it went in like a hot knife through butter. I was astounded how easily it went in when EVERYTHING else I tried over the last three years failed at some level. These went in so easily that I might not have needed the drill adapter. For most applications I suspect that the T-handle tube that comes with the Orange Screw would work just fine. This is one of those purchases that I wish I had made YEARS earlier. It would have saved my knuckles countless assaults, spared my back from repeated trauma, and would have spared my neighbours from their ears being scorched from the torrent of obscenities which accompanied each of my previous attempts to get ANY kind of ground anchor to hold properly in our backyard. I'd give the Orange Screw 10 stars if I could. If you have something you need anchored to the ground - pretty much anywhere, in any type of soil - get the Orange Screw and save the obscenities for the politicians on TV. Your neighbours will thank you.

We live in an area that has a lot of soft to robust wind. Facing north, we have hot sun issues from the west on our patio area in the late afternoon. We are using the stakes to hold down an 8ft x 8ft sun shade on our pergola. Couldn't attach to posts in the traditional method, so used these in the ground just below the shade. First used a tool to create an opening that would accommodate the length. Then attached mini bungie cords. Works like a charm. Very happy with this purchase.

I bought this for my 70lb dog and it works well! I thought she'd pull hard and it would come out but it didn't budge. Very sturdy and easy to screw in and out.

I used these to secure my hunting blind tie downs. It was on top of a hill and this survived multiple wind storms. Other stakes I have used in the past all pulled out and the blind blew away, but these survived lots of extreme weather. I'm extremely impressed. They are definitely more expensive, but worth it! These will be my go-to stakes in future years.

Strong and I would buy again. Used to prop a tree with aero cable and they were perfect.
