Inflatables Ground Anchoring

Inflatable structures like jumping castles, event signage, or party domes bring joy and visibility—but they also come with a serious risk if not anchored properly. One strong gust of wind is all it takes to turn them into airborne hazards. That’s why GroundGrabba is trusted by event organisers, rental operators, and safety-conscious families alike. With drill-powered speed and serious holding power in soft ground, our anchors offer a fast, effective way to keep inflatables exactly where they’re meant to stay—secure, stable, and safe.

Pro I Packs

Ideal for inflating fun in firmer sands or packed soil, the GroundGrabba Pro I offers 450mm of drill-driven anchoring strength. It's your go-to for securing smaller inflatables or setups in more stable ground types, where speed and reusability matter most.

Pro II Packs

For ultra-soft or shifting ground like dry sand and loamy grass, the 615mm GroundGrabba Pro II gives you the extra depth needed to hold inflatable equipment steady. Ideal for beach setups, kids' party gear, or outdoor cinema screens where safety and reliability are non-negotiable.

Commercial Pro I Pack

The Commercial Pro I is designed for more demanding inflatable installations. With a 600mm x 15mm shaft and deep-thread flighting, it’s built to support mid-sized commercial inflatables—perfect for community events, rentals, and outdoor exhibitions.

Comercial Pro II Pack

At 900mm long, the Commercial Pro II is your solution for anchoring large inflatables in soft or unpredictable terrain. Whether it’s a giant inflatable slide or branding arch, this anchor delivers serious holding power with a wide 15mm shaft and extended thread profile.

From the founder:

Hi, I’m David Levine, inventor of GroundGrabba. In 2017, Susu and I set out to create purpose-built ground anchors. Today, our range secures everything from tents to tiny homes. We back our steel anchors with a Lifetime Replacement Warranty* and a 100% RISK-FREE 12-month return policy. Whatever you need to anchor, we’ll keep you grounded.

Closed Hook

Purpose-built for commercial anchoring, the ClosedHook 14 slides over your GroundGrabba before installation. Its enlarged central eyelet accommodates commercial-sized GR14 shafts, allowing secure connection of ropes or ratchets to your inflatable gear with confidence and ease.

Drill-Powered Ground Anchors for Inflatables—Fast, Secure, and Reusable

Inflatable structures—whether for recreation, events, or commercial use—are only as good as their stability. From bouncy castles and inflatable water slides to air dancers, movie screens, and blow-up arches, the one thing they all have in common is the need for rock-solid ground anchoring. One sudden gust of wind or a shift in ground conditions can turn a lightweight inflatable into a dangerous projectile or a costly mishap. That’s where GroundGrabba comes in.

           

Traditional tent pegs or plastic stakes are simply not up to the task, especially when it comes to soft, sandy, or loose ground. They’re prone to bending, working loose, or pulling out entirely under load or in windy conditions. GroundGrabba changes the game with a drill-driven steel anchor system designed for speed, strength, and security. Just attach the socket to your cordless drill or impact driver and twist the anchor deep into the earth. No hammers, no struggling—and no guesswork.

Our range of products is ideal for anyone needing a fast and effective way to secure inflatable structures outdoors. Whether you're running a kids’ party business, managing event infrastructure, or setting up a pop-up brand activation with inflatable signage, GroundGrabba gives you the confidence to anchor down safely—every time.

The GroundGrabba Pro I and Pro II are the core of our anchoring system. The Pro I, at 450mm long, is perfect for firm sandy soil or semi-compact conditions. The Pro II, with a 615mm shaft, offers even deeper penetration for ultra-soft sand and grass—ideal for coastal setups, sports fields, and parks. Both are built tough from steel and designed for reuse, season after season.

For larger, commercial-grade setups, we offer the Commercial Pro I and Commercial Pro II anchors. These heavy-duty options feature 15mm shafts and longer flighted lengths, giving you the kind of strength and grip needed to secure industrial-sized inflatables or setups exposed to unpredictable weather. If you’re running a hire business or managing multiple large-scale events, these are your go-to for safe and reliable anchoring.

Beyond the anchors themselves, GroundGrabba offers a suite of accessories that make anchoring more versatile and user-friendly. The ClosedHook 14 is a robust, hot-dip galvanized attachment designed to accept tie-downs, ratchet straps, or bungee cords through its larger central eyelet—specifically engineered to work with our GR14 commercial series anchors. It locks into place before you drive your anchor into the ground, ensuring a secure, tamper-resistant connection that won’t pop out under tension.

Then there’s the Hook Washer 14, a simple yet smart addition for securing lines, tethers, or straps. Slide it over your Commercial GroundGrabba before installation and use the curved hook face to loop through your load. It’s an easy way to secure inflatables with guy ropes or tie-down straps without complex rigging. Made for repeat use and designed to fit our 14mm commercial range, it adds flexibility and speed to your setup routine.

GroundGrabba anchors are used across Australia by event managers, inflatable rental companies, local councils, and even emergency services. Why? Because they solve real-world problems fast. There’s no second-guessing whether the anchor will hold or whether the ground is “good enough.” Our drill-powered solution buries deep and holds firm—even in the types of terrain where standard pegs fail time and again.

And because speed matters, GroundGrabba lets you anchor dozens of points in minutes—not hours. Simply put your socket on your drill, insert it into the hex head of the GroundGrabba, and drive it in. Once the event is over, reverse the drill and back them out. No bending over, no hammering, and no broken plastic pegs to clean up or replace.

Applications include:

  • Bouncy castles and inflatable obstacle courses
  • Inflatable movie screens and projection walls
  • Air dancers and advertising tubes
  • Kids’ party equipment and soft-play enclosures
  • Promotional blow-up signage and arches
  • Event shade structures and inflatable gazebos

As a reusable system built for performance, GroundGrabba not only reduces your setup time—it lowers your long-term costs. No more replacing bent pegs or wondering if your anchor will hold in the wind. Whether you’re running a small family business or coordinating infrastructure for large events, GroundGrabba gives you the professional solution you need to operate safely and efficiently.

Don’t let weak anchors ruin your event. Choose GroundGrabba for peace of mind when it matters most.
