Anyone know where I can buy a couple of 100cm ground screws from?

Like these

£30 including postage from Germany seem a little steep.

I guess there must be other applications use them and so for sale in other guises?

I looked at this a little while back. I could find plenty of cheap 50cm climbing frame anchors easily available in the UK, but not the 70-100cm slackline anchors. I did wonder if the 50cm would be up to the job, or not be deep enough and pull up. I guess it will depend on the ground strength. I didn't get round to doing anything more than thinking about it.

platipus anchors will be able to supply something strong enough..even available in phosphor bronze for a 60 year design life...doubt you will get them for less than the price you quote above though!

Wooden fence post concreted into a large hole is what we are currently on with.

Fasthaggis, that would be great. I may be over that way tomorrow (Thursday) during the day if you are around? I have to go to Meigle, which is a good way there towards Dundee. I'll send you and email.
😀

I found the anchors (only 3 of them)and they are 50cm ones.
Mail me if you can still use them.
