Secure your Batwing or Other Annex
Bat wing awnings and other vehicle-mounted annexes have exploded in popularity across Australia’s 4WD and touring community—and for good reason. They offer fast shade, weather protection, and a whole lot of convenience for weekenders, long-range tourers, and day-trippers alike. But one gust of wind is all it takes to turn that handy shade into a shredded mess. That’s why solid, purpose-built anchoring is crucial—especially in Australia’s unpredictable outdoor conditions.
Traditional hammer-in pegs often don’t cut it. They’re time-consuming to install and even harder to remove. Worse, they often fail when the wind picks up or the ground softens. That’s where GroundGrabba steps in.
Our screw-in ground anchors are engineered to hold strong and go deep, gripping where other pegs rip out. With a cordless drill and the right GroundGrabba pack, your awning can be fully secured in under 10 minutes—whether you’re camping on hard red dirt, rocky escarpments, or sandy coastal plains.
For general all-round terrain like bush tracks or packed dirt, our GroundGrabba Pro Kits are the ultimate grab-and-go solution. These feature heavy-duty screw-in anchors paired with Closed Hooks for easy tie-downs. When you’re heading to softer terrain or the beach, step up to the GroundGrabba Pro II Kits—engineered with longer shafts and larger flights to twist deep into sand and hold fast.
Travelling light? The GroundGrabba Junior 13 Piece Kit has everything you need for quick setups of smaller awnings or lighter duty annexes. It includes four Junior anchors, four Pigtail Hooks, four Fang grip plates, and a socket driver—perfect for varied ground types on shorter stays.
If your awning plans take you beachside, our GroundGrabba Lite Packs are a smart option. Designed for soft, sandy soils, these lightweight anchors give a secure hold without the weight or bulk of heavier kits. Easy to drive, easy to carry.
To minimise strain on your gear during gusty conditions, we also recommend our spring-loaded tie-downs. The Single Spring Guy Rope is great for most setups, while the Double Spring Guy Rope is ideal for longer awnings or high-wind environments. Both help absorb shock and prevent tearing or stretching during wind events.
Looking to boost ground grip in compacted or variable terrain? Add The Fang to your anchoring system. It sits beneath the anchor head to bite into the ground and reduce shifting, especially in harder surfaces.
And once you’ve got your setup dialled in, keep it all organised with the GroundGrabba Carry-All Bag. It’s purpose-built to house your anchors, hooks, ropes, and tools in one tough, easy-to-transport bag—because when you’re touring, convenience matters.
Whether it’s a quick lunch stop under a 270° bat wing, or a multi-day remote camp with full annex setup, GroundGrabba’s drill-driven ground anchors give you the confidence that your gear won’t go flying. Don’t leave your investment to chance—secure it the GroundGrabba way.
