Outdoor Furniture Ground Anchoring

Keeping your outdoor furniture secure can be a constant battle—especially in Australia’s unpredictable weather. Wind gusts, uneven terrain, or soft ground can send chairs, tables, or patio umbrellas toppling or flying. GroundGrabba’s purpose-built ground screw anchors offer a fast, reliable, and reusable solution for anchoring outdoor furniture on grass, dirt, sand, or gravel. Whether it’s in your backyard, a public park, or a café forecourt, these anchors help prevent accidents, damage, and unnecessary movement with solid ground hold.

Pro II Packs

Designed for soft to medium ground like sand, dirt, or grass, the GroundGrabba Pro II is a go-to anchor for securing outdoor furniture in open spaces. With its 615mm length and aggressive flighted shaft, it offers superior holding power and helps deter theft or unwanted movement caused by wind or use.

Commercial Pro I Threaded

Designed for anchoring where clearance is tight—like 20mm footplate holes—the Commercial Threaded Pro I is 600mm long with a 15mm shaft and threaded top. Driven with a deep socket and impact wrench, it includes a washer and nut for secure fastening. Ideal for small-footprint furniture or structures on firmer ground.

Commercial Pro II Threaded

At 900mm long, the Commercial Threaded Pro II is made for deeper anchoring when standard heads won’t fit. It features a threaded top with welded nut, compatible with deep sockets, and includes nut and washer for a tight hold. Ideal for outdoor furniture, frames, or shelters with small anchor holes.

Commercial Pro I

Ideal for denser ground and permanent setups, the Commercial Pro I offers serious holding strength with its 15mm shaft and 600mm length. It’s built for applications where outdoor furniture or fixtures need to be kept in place season after season, including café setups, picnic tables, and garden seating.

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

For maximum holding power in loose or deep soil conditions, the 900mm Commercial Pro II is the best choice. Its longer shaft and heavy-duty 15mm thickness make it suitable for anchoring heavier furniture or larger outdoor features in high-wind or public spaces.

Securing Outdoor Furniture with Ground Anchors That Last

Outdoor living spaces are where we relax, entertain, and enjoy Australia’s beautiful climate. But one sudden gust of wind—or an uneven patch of soil—can quickly turn tables, chairs, and patio umbrellas into hazards or cause costly damage. Whether it’s your private backyard, a café courtyard, a beachside bar, or a public event setup, keeping outdoor furniture safely anchored is crucial for both safety and peace of mind.

GroundGrabba ground anchors offer a rugged, reusable solution for anchoring outdoor furniture across various terrain types—from lush lawns to firm soil, sandy coastal areas to hard-packed gravel. No more frustrating trial-and-error with plastic pegs, ropes tied to bricks, or awkward weights that look out of place. With GroundGrabba, you're securing furniture the smart way: with drill-powered, purpose-engineered anchors designed to stay put.

Why anchor outdoor furniture?

Outdoor furniture might seem stable when first positioned, but weather and usage can quickly expose how insecure it actually is. Strong wind gusts are the most obvious culprit, often catching under the wide surfaces of tables, umbrellas, or lounge chairs. A sudden shift in wind can send lightweight furniture skimming across your deck or yard—or worse, toppling toward people or property.

Then there’s uneven ground, which many backyards, patios, or event locations suffer from. Soft grass after rain or sandy surfaces can cause legs to sink or wobble, making the furniture unstable and unsightly. If you’re running a hospitality business or event space, the last thing you need is customer injuries or constant furniture rearrangement.

Additionally, bolting down outdoor furniture with a GroundGrabba setup can help deter theft. Tables, benches, and even decorative items that are secured with a GroundGrabba system and steel brackets are much harder to remove or walk away with—making them less attractive targets for opportunists. Whether at a holiday rental, campsite, or café strip, it's an extra layer of protection against loss or vandalism.

Enter GroundGrabba.

Our screw-in ground anchors offer a fast and fuss-free method of securing outdoor furniture in place. Instead of hammering in stakes (which can bend, pop out, or provide poor hold), GroundGrabba anchors drill deep into the ground, creating a mechanical lock that stays in place.

Choose from our standard and commercial options to suit your setting:

  • GroundGrabba Pro II: Heavy-duty and long, this anchor is ideal for sand, dirt, or soft soils where deeper grip is needed.
  • Commercial Pro I and Pro II: Thick, long, and robust, these are suited for semi-permanent installations or public/commercial furniture.
  • Threaded Commercial Pro I and II: Designed for adjustable or integrated mounting, perfect for umbrella bases and heavier tables or benches.

Attach and adapt with purpose-built accessories

GroundGrabba is more than just an anchor—it’s a modular anchoring system. Our Multi L Bracket creates the link between your furniture frame or base and the GroundGrabba anchor. Bolt through a table foot, thread a cable, or clamp down a support—all with a bracket designed to fit seamlessly.

Common use cases include:

  • Backyard patios and gardens
  • Cafés or restaurant outdoor seating
  • Park benches or installations
  • Beach bars or poolside lounges
  • Public picnic areas
  • Outdoor gyms or yoga decks

Better than weights or concrete

Concrete footings or sandbags may seem like options—but they’re usually unsightly, hard to move, and not secure. Sandbags degrade and shift; concrete bases are permanent. GroundGrabba anchors are portable, reusable, and low profile. Installation takes seconds with a cordless drill—and when you’re done, simply reverse it out.

Security, stability, and style

From preventing tip-overs and damage, to deterring theft and vandalism, GroundGrabba delivers real-world value. Your furniture stays where you placed it—flat, firm, and safe. And your space stays neat, uncluttered, and welcoming. The way it should be.
