Ground spike bases are the grass-and-soil answer: a deep steel spike driven into firm ground with a socket that takes the pole. Spike length matched to flag height, steel grade stated in writing. Written quotation within 24 hours.
What a Ground Spike Base Is
A ground spike base is a steel spike with a socket at its head. Drive it into firm ground with a mallet, seat the pole, and the display stands – no ballast to carry, nothing on the surface. It is the lightest kit in the range and the standard base for park, field and grass-venue programmes.
What Problems It Solves
1. Grass and soil sites. The spike holds where plates and bags sit awkwardly on soft ground.
2. Light travel kits. Spike plus pole is the whole kit – the lightest load-out for solo vendors and touring teams.
3. Semi-permanent lines. Set once for a season of weekend use at the same ground.
Where It Is Used
Parks and fields. Sports days, fairs and community events on real grass.
Garden and venue lawns. Where the owner allows penetration, the spike is the tidy answer.
Campsites and touring. Every site has grass; every site becomes a display.

Frequently Asked Questions
How deep should a ground spike go?
For a 3 m flag on firm grass, a 300 to 400 mm spike is the typical adequacy band; softer soil or stronger wind calls for a longer spike. Depth guidance ships with the quotation.
Can it go into concrete?
No – spikes are for grass and soil only. Hard standing needs a cross base, plate or water base with ballast.
What if the ground is hard?
Water the ground first or use a pilot rod, then drive the spike. Rock-hard summer ground defeats every spike; the pilot trick saves the day.
Will it fit my pole?
The socket inner diameter matches the pole bottom section – both stated in millimetres, confirmed in writing.
Is it stable in wind?
In firm ground with the right depth, yes for the flag classes it is rated for. Exposed sites and soft sand belong to the heavier bases – the honest trade of the light kit.
What is the lead time?
Sampling 3 to 7 days, bulk 7 to 15 days, both dates confirmed in writing.
