Needs a slight re-design to make it really useful
Two issues with quality/design. The first is that the nuts welded onto the body need more careful fitting. I had to re-thread two of them with an M8 tap in order to allow the holding bolts to screw in easily.
The second is with the helical strip welded to the spike. The very bottom of this needs to be cut off so that there is no weak part to it extending past the bottom weld, otherwise any obstruction in the ground tends to bend the strip and prevent it biting into the soil properly.
Having said that, the unit is a suitable size and is robust. Not yet tested with my sun shade due to awful summer weather.
