Dirt spikes are used in hard soil regions to stabilize pool fence in areas without concrete. The dirt spikes are 24" in length and get driven into pilot holes drilled with an auger bit. The poles then go into the top of the dirt spike as if it were a drilled hole.
*The dirt spike is intended to be used for one or two poles in a planter area. Many customers have used them successfully for their entire fence, but be aware your fence is only going to be as strong as your soil.
The best way to determine if dirt spikes will work for you is to insert a common household rod, like a broom handle, 2' into the ground. Then push and pull on it, that is how strong your fence will be.
Common Question: Since I won't be using my ground sleeves with the dirt spikes, can you take them out and give me a credit for them?
I know this seems like it would be a reasonable request, but we can't take them out of each of your boxes for a very good reason. We get the fencing in 12' sections pre-boxed with the sleeves and hook and eyes from the manufacturer. The labor to open each of these boxes and take out the sleeves will cost far more than the amount of money we would get from the sleeves. You however will be opening each box anyway and if you would like to mail them back to us (sorry we can't pay for that either) we would gladly give you a credit for them.
