Where to buy a ground anchor for a swing?

chabsey

I've a wooden swing set that needs to be anchored to the ground and am looking for something like this to do it.

Does anyone know anywhere in Dublin where I can get something like this? The usual DIY shops don't seem to have anything similar.

Smiths toy stores or anywhere that sells swing sets and trampolines perhaps.


Also have a lookm in the camping shops in town and also out in Blanchardstown too.

how big are the swings?

i put up a set


the anchors were like large galvoband and they were set in concrete

easy enough to do

I don't know where you'd find an anchor. The anchors came with the swing we bought. My husband set the anchors in cement like mikeoneil1000, just to be extra careful.

our 13ft trampoline came with basic anchors like the OP

i don't think they're suitable for a swing

I got them from these guys very good crowd to deal with, also bought swings and a slide from them delivery was free, from Germany!

I got the ground anchor kit from Smyths toys. It's for a trampoline but I can bolt it to the feet of the swing. If that doesn't work then I'll concrete it I guess.
