Build a deck with RADIX ground screws that work perfectly with all types of decking construction
Transform your outdoor space with RADIX ground screws – the ultimate foundation solution for decking. Our ground screw decking foundations are designed for versatility and strength, making them ideal for a range of decking projects, from simple garden decks to expansive terraces.
RADIX ground screws, often referred to as earth screws or ground anchors, are a superior alternative to traditional concrete foundations and deck piers. Our foundation screws are quick to install by our experienced installation teams. Building a deck on uneven ground or other challenging terrains is no issue, making ground screw foundations ideal for a variety of decking projects. They minimise ground disturbance and are environmentally friendly.
For deeper decking foundations, we use our extendable screw pile system, and we can also produce a steel frame for decking or a timber decking frame.
The advantages of using ground screws for decking
Unlike concrete foundations, that require time to set, ground screws can be installed quickly, typically within a day. This rapid installation means your decking project can commence immediately, saving valuable time and money.
If you are building a deck on grass or installing decking on concrete, our ground screws eliminate the need for extensive excavation. This means less mess, less disruption to your garden, and no need for costly soil removal. Stop digging holes and use the smarter solution!
They are resistant to rust and corrosion, long-lasting, and withstand diverse weather conditions. Ground screws have far less embodied carbons compared to concrete, and are easily removed and reused, leaving minimal impact on the environment.
If you are building a deck on a slope, soft soil or a solid ground, screws are easily adaptable, ensuring a stable foundation for your new deck. We can use screw piles to raise your deck or go deeper into the soil if needed.
Don’t wait until the nice weather comes when you actually want to use your deck, as our ground screws can easily be installed in frosted ground during the winter months.
Installing a deck on screw foundations
The installation process to build the foundations for your deck is fast and relatively easy, depending on site conditions. Whether you’re building a deck on uneven ground, grass, or a slope, our ground screws for decking ensure a solid foundation without the hassle of traditional concrete piers or deck base blocks. Our installers are vastly experienced in dealing with any obstacles or unforeseen issues that may arise.

Ground Screws vs. Concrete piers: Which is the better solution to build a deck on?
When compared to traditional concrete foundations, ground screws offer numerous benefits for the construction of your deck:
- Speed and Efficiency: Ground screws are faster to install, reducing overall project time for your deck build
- Environmental Impact: Ground screws are more sustainable and have a lower environmental impact.
- Cost-Effectiveness: With reduced labour and material costs, ground screws can be more economical in the long run and save you money on the total price of a deck
- Flexibility and Adaptability: Ground screws can be used in a variety of soil types, terrain and challenging ground you would think a struggle to build on.
Whether you’re installing decking, a fence, shed or garden room foundations, our ground screw and screw pile system offer easy installation to over come areas of sloping, uneven and soft ground. Available in three diameter sizes and ranging in length from 800 to 2050 mm, and our screw piles offering a choice of extensions, screw foundations are adjustable to your project and the level you require. With each screw into the ground, either through our professional installation teams or self-installation ground screws, your decking subframe can be built immediately on top on a secure base.
