Garden Sculpture Anchors
Use the SDS-max ground rod driver to set 5/8 in. or 3/4 in. rebar as hidden anchors for outdoor sculptures, gabions, or driftwood installations. The driver lets you sink anchors quickly and consistently below grade, then epoxy or clamp the artwork to short exposed stubs or sleeves for a clean, stable display.
Modular Vineyard/Trellis System
Create a robust espalier or grape trellis by driving 3/4 in. galvanized rods at row ends and intervals, then tension stainless wire with turnbuckles. The installed rods serve as sleek, long-lasting posts without digging holes or setting concrete, ideal for backyard vineyards or espaliered fruit walls.
Shade Sail Deadman Anchors
Install buried rod clusters as deadman anchors for backyard shade sails or art canopies. Drive multiple 5/8 in. rods in a fan pattern, cap with a welded eye plate or rated hardware, and backfill. You get low-visual-impact anchors with strong holding power for clean, modern outdoor spaces.
Wind Chime and Light Poles
Build a ‘sound garden’ by driving copper-clad rods as slender poles for tall wind chimes and hanging lanterns. The thin profile disappears into the landscape while providing rigid mounting. Combine with low-voltage path lighting that can share the rod locations for tidy cable runs.
