Temporary Fencing and Barriers

Temporary fencing, crowd barriers, and construction partitions require solid anchoring—especially in busy or windy environments. Lightweight feet and star pickets often fall short. GroundGrabba screw-in anchors offer a faster, stronger solution. Installed with a cordless drill or impact wrench, they hold firm in sand, soil, or clay, making them ideal for festivals, roadworks, events, and temporary site security.

Pro I packs

Designed for medium to hard ground, the GroundGrabba Pro I offers a reliable hold for temporary fences, pedestrian barriers, or star pickets. Its 465mm shaft and aggressive flights give it grip where traditional methods fail, while drill-powered installation makes setup fast and efficient.

Pro II packs

At 615mm long, the GroundGrabba Pro II gives extra depth and resistance for anchoring temporary fencing in looser soils like sand or damp ground. Ideal for wind-prone areas or when stability matters most, it’s a robust option for event and construction sites alike.

Commercial Pro I Packs

With a 600mm length and thick 15mm shaft, the Commercial Pro I is made for tough jobs. Perfect for heavier fencing panels or modular site barriers, it performs in a range of terrains and can be driven fast with an impact wrench for quick setup.

Commercial Pro II Packs

Our largest commercial anchor at 900mm long, the Commercial Pro II provides the deepest, most secure hold. When anchoring barriers on exposed or sloped ground, or for long-term installs, it’s the heavy-duty choice trusted by pros in construction and civil works.

Hook Washer

Used with GR13 series GroundGrabbas (Pro I & II), the Hook Washer prevents the hex collar from slipping through oversized holes in fence feet or base plates. It’s ideal for metal or timber structures where 40+ mm clearance holes are present, ensuring a secure and stable connection.

Temporary Fencing and Barriers Ground Anchoring

Temporary fencing is essential across a wide range of sites — from construction zones and event perimeters to emergency response areas, roadworks, and crowd control setups. But despite its temporary nature, fencing must remain upright, aligned, and secure in changing weather and soil conditions. If not properly anchored, even lightweight fencing panels or barriers can collapse, shift, or blow over — creating safety risks, liability, and operational disruption.

           

That’s where GroundGrabba ground anchors offer a superior solution. Designed for rapid deployment and rock-solid stability, our GR13 and GR14 series of screw-in ground anchors give you the strength and simplicity you need for securing temporary fences, signage, and barrier systems in virtually any outdoor terrain.

For softer or uneven soil conditions, our Pro II anchors (615mm long) deliver deep penetration and hold, ideal for medium-duty fencing jobs or where extra grip is needed due to wind or frequent handling. These are best paired with Hook Washers to prevent the anchor’s hex collar from pulling through oversized holes in footplates or timber base panels — especially useful when mounting to existing boards or commercial fence frames.

When heavier-duty anchoring is required — such as in long fence runs, high-wind corridors, or security perimeters — step up to the Commercial Pro I (600mm x 15mm shaft) or Commercial Pro II (900mm x 15mm shaft) anchors. Their GR14-class shaft and aggressive threads provide superior holding strength for demanding conditions. Match them with Hook Washer 14, which is designed with a large tear-drop hole to accommodate the thicker 15mm shaft and collar, ensuring the anchor seats securely beneath metal brackets or crossbars.

The Multi L Bracket is another powerful add-on — providing a fixed 90-degree bracket interface for attaching temporary fence frames, uprights, or horizontal braces. Whether you’re securing a base plate, angled cross-member, or vertical support, the L bracket connects quickly and stays put.

Installing GroundGrabba anchors is fast, simple, and doesn’t require digging or concrete. Just use a cordless impact wrench to drive them into position, attach your fencing system, and you're done. When it’s time to pack up, reverse the drill to extract the anchors and reuse them again and again.

For councils, event coordinators, site managers, and tradespeople, this means faster setups, safer perimeters, and greater peace of mind — no matter how temporary the project.

GroundGrabba’s screw-in ground anchors aren’t just pegs — they’re a professional-grade solution for holding the line, keeping barriers upright, and maintaining control over your temporary fencing infrastructure.
