Livestock Portable Pens & Temporary Fencing

Temporary fencing and livestock pens need to be fast to set up, strong under pressure, and able to withstand everything from curious animals to sudden gusts of wind. GroundGrabba anchors provide a secure, drill-powered solution to hold panels, gates, and enclosures steady—even in soft or uneven terrain—giving you peace of mind that your setup will stay put no matter the conditions.

Pro I Packs

Perfect for medium-density soils like paddocks and clay, the GroundGrabba Pro I is a go-to for small livestock enclosures or short-term fencing setups. At 465mm long, it’s quick to install with a cordless drill, creating strong anchoring points with minimal effort—ideal for goat pens, show yards, and portable runs.

Pro II Packs

With extra depth (615mm), the GroundGrabba Pro II delivers greater anchoring strength in loose soils, sand, or areas prone to wind. These are well-suited for lightweight structures like mobile shade tents or fencing panels where animals may lean or press against the boundaries.

Multi L Bracket

Designed for the GR14 Commercial GroundGrabba series, the Multi L Bracket adapts your anchor into a vertical mounting point. It’s perfect for connecting timber or metal posts, creating upright fencing frames, or securely holding portable livestock gate supports in place.

Commercial Pro I Pack

The Commercial Pro I steps up to a 600mm length and a thicker 15mm shaft, offering more holding capacity for larger livestock fencing, semi-permanent pens, or exposed setups. These are ideal for cattle yards, remote mustering pens, or where reliability in challenging ground is crucial.

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.

Commercial Pro II Pack

For maximum anchoring strength, the Commercial Pro II (900mm x 15mm) is ideal when you're managing heavier enclosures, higher stock loads, or fencing in soft or sandy paddocks. These anchors are designed for serious holding power and peace of mind in tough conditions.

Managing livestock in temporary or portable enclosures presents unique challenges, especially when it comes to securing fences, gates, and pen structures in soft or uneven ground. Whether you're working with sheep, goats, cattle, or horses, GroundGrabba anchors deliver a drill-driven solution designed for fast deployment and reliable hold—without the frustrations of traditional hammer-in pegs or posts.

Unlike star pickets or rebar stakes that often shift in soft soil or bend under load, GroundGrabba screw-in anchors twist deep into the ground with the help of a cordless drill or impact wrench. They create instant anchoring points that stay put—reducing the risk of panel movement, fence sag, or sudden collapses. When time and safety matter, GroundGrabba offers the strength and speed farmers and livestock operators need.

Whether you're setting up a small yard at an ag show, rotating pasture fencing on a rural block, or creating a temporary pen for veterinary treatment, a dependable anchoring system means fewer problems and better animal control. Once installed, GroundGrabbas remain firmly in place until removed—offering the kind of security that gives peace of mind in both short- and long-term setups.

The Pro I and Pro II models cover most livestock fencing needs. For denser soil or smaller fencing applications like goat pens, the Pro I’s 465mm length (10mm shaft) provides ample grip and a compact profile. For soft, sandy, or uneven paddocks where greater depth is needed, the Pro II extends to 615mm, ensuring deeper penetration and stronger resistance to pull forces caused by wind or animal pressure.

For commercial setups or heavier installations—such as cattle holding pens or fencing exposed to high winds—GroundGrabba Commercial Pro I anchors (600mm x 15mm shaft) offer additional diameter and load-holding strength. They’re ideal when fencing large animals or setting up semi-permanent installations that still need to be packable or repositionable.

When combined with the Multi L Bracket, GroundGrabba anchors can be easily adapted to support upright timber or steel posts. The bracket is purpose-built for use with the GR14 commercial series, transforming your anchor into a post base—great for framing lightweight shelter structures, gate posts, or perimeter fencing around livestock areas.

GroundGrabba isn’t limited to fencing. In livestock handling environments, ground anchors can also be used for tethering feed bins, securing shade structures, stabilising temporary windbreaks, or anchoring the corners of animal shelters and mobile yards. Their removability and modularity make them an excellent alternative to permanent foundations when flexibility is essential.

Where livestock operators are using GroundGrabbas:

  • Temporary fencing on soft pasture or bush blocks
  • Goat, sheep, and alpaca enclosures at farm stays or shows
  • Mobile cattle yards or race setups
  • Animal quarantine or holding zones
  • Horse containment for events or field treatment
  • Rotational grazing infrastructure
  • Temporary shade or feed areas
  • Windbreak fencing in open paddocks

What makes GroundGrabba especially appealing is how easy they are to use. You don’t need to hammer anything. There’s no need to dig post holes or pour concrete. Just slot the socket over the hex head, pull the drill trigger, and drive your anchor into the ground. The spiral flights do the work, boring into the earth to create a tight, secure connection point. When you’re ready to move, reverse the drill and back it out.

Because the hex collar on standard GroundGrabbas is narrower than the anchor’s overall shaft width, you can pair them with a Hook Washer to prevent the collar from slipping through larger holes (like a 40mm clearance hole in timber). This washer acts like a structural bridge, letting you clamp brackets, frames, or posts tightly to the surface without the hex collar pulling through.

When using the GR14 commercial series (Commercial Pro or Commercial Pro I), you’ll want the Hook Washer 14, which has a wider internal diameter and matching outer profile to suit the 41mm flange collar. These are particularly useful when anchoring heavy-duty fencing components or building mobile livestock infrastructure on timber bases or platform-mounted systems.

Advantages of using GroundGrabba for livestock pens and fencing:

  • Drill installs make setup quick and safe
  • Anchors hold firm even when stock leans or pushes
  • Easy to reposition for rotational grazing or field adjustments
  • Pairs with adaptors for structural brackets or flat mounting
  • Suitable for use in sand, clay, loose dirt, and even semi-compacted soil
  • Fully removable and reusable—no waste, no digging

Whether you're a smallholder looking for a smarter fencing solution or a rural business managing stock on the move, GroundGrabba anchors offer flexibility, performance, and peace of mind. They're the new standard in temporary agricultural anchoring—saving time, preventing damage, and keeping livestock secure where they belong.
