Ground Screws for Tiny Homes
EVERY BUILDING DESERVES A STABLE FOUNDATION – USE GROUND SCREWS!
Stop Digging provides ground screws, earth screw, screw anchor, earth anchor or pier anchor – this simple and effective foundation has many names. Stop Digging’s ground screw works the same way as a concrete post or pier block, whilst outperforming it across the board. With our helical screws you can quickly and easily set out a stable foundation and begin construction immediately. The groundscrews are also used for traditional built house foundations for up to 3 storey buildings along with under concrete slab reinforcement for expansive or soft ground conditions.
For trailer mounted tiny homes, Stop Digging have installed a number of groundscrews as hold downs that are removable, but make the building safe in high wind zones for example.
For transportable units and cabins, sleepouts, home offices, shipping container homes etc, the groundscrew is a versatile option that can easily be removed and re-used In the future with zero ground disturbance.
Groundscrews can also be used as a very cost effective solution for concrete slab or footing reinforcement, which is often required in expansive clays and other types of poor ground conditions.
As ground conditions get worse and locations become more remote, the use of groundscrews becomes even more economical in every way.
We have a nationwide network of region partners so we can install anywhere in NZ.

SWEDISH DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
All our screws are designed and developed in Sweden to withstand the harsh Nordic climate and tested in the toughest conceivable environments. They do not rust, have a long life and can be easily removed and reused. They are built to last.
Behind Stop Digging’s different ground screws models lies a rigorous development and testing program driven by a team of highly experienced engineers, designers and consultants. It takes at least half a year to thoroughly test and approve a new model and we are constantly incorporating lessons we learn through this process and in the field into improving our existing range.
We carefully control the licensing of our product to guarantee that the quality we demand reaches the market. We have a close relationship with a few suppliers in Asia who have manufactured high quality ground screws for Stop Digging over many years. Our confidence in our product is such that our groundscrews are designed to exceed requirements of the Building Code in NZ for Durability.
