Can you use these to build a house on?
Which machine to drive the ground screw ?
Can these be used for a single story extension?
But what about longevity? Can a screw last more than 25 year 40 year no concrete can so environmentally concrete is more stable it will remain abd can be reused many times. It will nit corrode so concrete base is better if you wsnt something to last.
Apparently they do last. Since concrete destroys the planet, it's useless to factor longevity.
This is a really efficient product!!! 👍🏾
Where I live the ground frost goes 2m deep. Is it still possible to use? Looking to make a big terrace in the future.
Concrete £100 per m2. Ground screws £45 per screw. Assuming 1 screw per meter = 4 screws per m2, double the cost?
In the video (1min and ~2 seconds) the narrator says 1 screw per m2. Where do you get 4 screws/m2 from? Plus with all the other advantages it does seem a better option. Presumably if you need to relocate in the future, then they can be unscrewed as well.
Yes, but I expect you don’t stick 1 screw in the middle of a m2 - otherwise the edges of the building will be hanging in the air!! Therefore, there must be a screw on each corner of a m2. I honestly can’t be bothered to work it out but of course the next m2 will share the previous m2’s edges and reduce the number but to say 1 screw per m2 is obviously inaccurate. Best advice, get a slab quoted and get one of the screw companies to quote. But remember the concrete adds things like insulation and the screws will have issues with pest control which will need to be addressed somehow
@@neural9 N0 you don’t need one on each corner of each m2!! The quote of 1 per m2, appears to be a rule of thumb used to calculate the approximate number of ground screws required for the overall construction of the base. It seems a pretty accurate way of estimating the project requirements. My neighbour used them for his shed/summer house project which was 3m x 2m (ie. 6m2). The ground screws went in 15-20 cm from where the 4 corners of the summer house were to be located. Another two were located in-line, equidistance along each side of the 3m length. The sub-frame/base located onto the 6 ground screws with a 15-20cm overhang around the perimeter. Only 6 were required for his project. One in each m2 corner would have required 12!
Tim Sheridan he paid £270 for the completed base?
@@neural9 It was back in 2018. He paid ~£180 just for the 6 ground screws including installation. I don't know what he paid for the timber frame or the OSB panel.
