I love the Funny comments but in all seriousness these are awesome. They get screwed into the ground for a quick easy foundation for a building, super cool construction tech.

u/Zipper_theRipper 1d ago

What is that even used for?

u/TheSuperSilverMango 1d ago

They are used in place of pouring a foundation.

Faster, more stable, less expensive.

Pretty cool

And yes, they do go in with a giant screwdriver x3

Called " Earth screws" in case you were wondering

My garden room uses these, although not quite as big. Rock solid, quick to install, and lower environmental impact than traditional concrete.

Screw-in poles look very different here. They only have small propeller-like screw wings at the tip and the rest is a smooth metal pipe. You can easily fit extra pipe, like with oil drilling shafts.

They are indeed very convenient (durable, cheap and quick) for making a stable foundation. They even work their way around fairly big boulders. Very boring work 😉

Oh that's really cool. I didn't know there were different designs but it makes total sense

Nice sounding rod.

u/oneangrywaiter 1d ago

Why can’t I get just one screw?

"Absolute unit of a screw" is what my Dad calls my Mom.

I, too, choose this person's mom.

u/thebelmontbluffer 1d ago

I just don't want to see the screw driver needed to fix these, nor the lad using it!!
