downsouth 6,859 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Fella Im working for atm has branched out into doing these ground screws atm.I was a bit sceptical at first but the more Ive seen them used and been doing them with him the more Ive seen the advantages.This job we also built the frame and plyed it for a big garden building to go on but weve done them for big decking areas and done a lot for people to sit containers on.They save loads of muckaway and are great if you have shit acces for getting concrete etc in.Just carry however many screws in that are needed and the drill.All your marking out gear and levels and away you go. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did my caravan roof with green ones. Iirc I paid £20 each , for 10' x 3'7" sheets . The box profile sheets were much cheaper. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're a bit of a pain to deal with , but worth the effort for the cost saving. I did the roof on my wife's workshop , and when we went there to collect the sheets, he'd got some 10' x 3'7' sheets left over from a job , and I'm sure that I only paid about £15.00 each for them . He even threw in a couple for free. He also had ,grey , box profile sheets , that were left over , and I think that they were about a tenner. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
