Ground Screws are an innovative, helical ground anchor designed to provide a stable and secure foundation for decks, fences, and other outdoor structures without the need for traditional concrete footings. These steel screws are driven deep into the ground using specialized equipment, offering a strong, durable, and eco-friendly alternative to concrete piers.

How Ground Screws Are Used for Deck Foundations

Instead of digging holes and pouring concrete, ground screws act as instant, load-bearing footings that can support decks and other structures. These screws are installed quickly and efficiently, providing a solid and level foundation for wood or composite decks. Once in place, deck posts or framing can be mounted directly onto the ground screw brackets.

Benefits of Using Ground Screws vs. Concrete Footings

✅ Faster Installation

– No need to wait for concrete to cure; ground screws can be installed and built on the same day.

✅ No Heavy Excavation

– Eliminates the need for deep digging, reducing labor and landscaping damage.

✅ Eco-Friendly

– No concrete means no CO₂ emissions from cement production, making this a more sustainable option.

✅ Better for Uneven Terrain

– Can be used on sloped or rocky ground where traditional footings would be difficult.

✅ Stronger Load Capacity

– Provides excellent weight distribution and resistance against shifting soil.

✅ Weather-Resistant

– Designed to withstand freeze-thaw cycles, making them ideal for different climates.
