Reliable Ground Anchoring for Outdoor Events and Public Gatherings
Outdoor events are an essential part of Australian culture—whether it’s a weekend market, a community festival, a corporate activation, or a school sports carnival. But along with the excitement and open-air freedom comes a very real need for safety, stability, and compliance. When you're setting up structures that could be impacted by wind, crowds, or unpredictable terrain, proper ground anchoring is a must.
That’s where GroundGrabba steps in.
Our drill-powered ground anchors are designed to offer unmatched holding power in soft, loose, or compacted ground—exactly the kind of conditions you find across parks, showgrounds, beaches, and fields. Whether you're securing a marquee, signage, inflatable, PA system mast, or portable fencing, GroundGrabba gives you fast, reliable anchoring without the guesswork or hammering.
Unlike traditional pegs that can bend, loosen, or pull out in gusty conditions, GroundGrabba products screw deep into the earth using a cordless drill or impact driver. This gives you a stronger, more secure hold and a faster setup—critical when you’ve got an event crew working to deadline or volunteers managing a busy bump-in.
And because not all structures are alike, we offer a modular anchoring system with a variety of attachments. From ClosedHooks and Pigtail Hooks to Multi L Brackets and heavy-duty kits, we provide adaptable solutions for just about anything you’d set up at an outdoor event. Need to anchor an inflatable arch or secure guy ropes on a stage awning? We’ve got the right gear for both.
GroundGrabba anchors are also reusable, rust-resistant, and built to last—making them a smart investment for event companies, councils, schools, and community groups that host recurring events.
Here are just a few real-world applications where GroundGrabba shines:
- Marquees and gazebos: Stop your tent from taking off in the wind.
- Inflatables: Keep arches, bounce houses, or branded balloons steady and safe.
- Temporary fencing or bollards: Create safe perimeters for crowd control.
- Staging and rigging: Anchor down audio gear or lighting masts with confidence.
- Signage and banners: Maintain clear, stable displays in soft ground.
Planning an event on sand, grass, or mixed terrain? GroundGrabba’s range includes anchors tailored to your environment, so you're never left improvising with ineffective stakes or rope-tied weights.
Our mission is simple: create a safer, more efficient setup experience—one that gives you confidence the moment your gear goes up.
And if you're coordinating a multi-day festival or market series, GroundGrabba makes pack-down just as easy. Our products wind out as easily as they wind in, saving time, energy, and wear-and-tear on your crew.
Whether you’re an events hire business, local government body, or volunteer organiser—if you’re planning an outdoor setup, GroundGrabba should be part of your kit.
Doesn’t matter what the event, if you are looking for a screw in ground anchor for your outdoor marquee, or pergola cover then you have come to the right place. GroundGrabba make two models of Ground Anchors For Outdoor Events and Festivals which are amazing and fun, however, if you are the one putting the tents up and having to pack down at the end of the day then it may not be as fun as you what you would like unless … you use one of our screw-in and out GroundGrabbas.
Heavy Duty & Lite Screw Pegs/ Stakes for your festival
We have a brilliant selection of ground screws for you to choose from that will make your festival camping or set up experience so much faster, easier and safer. Our GroundGrabba Ground Anchors For Outdoor Events and Festivals are a quality life long camping outdoor accessory tool.
Not everyone will have exactly the same need as there are so many things that can be anchored down at outdoor festivals. Maybe you’ll want to hold down a tarp or artwork or gateway to your camp? You’ll want to anchor against the wind taking flight to your camp. Maybe it is in the sand which normally might make it a little difficult. If this is the case then we would recommend our commercial series with thicker 15mm shafts and lengths to 900mm making anchoring easier than ever before by using your high torque impact wrench.
