I carry two heel and toe pry bars with which to make a pilot hole should the base beneath the hard standing prove too hard for my hard ground pegs.The smaller one I use with ordinary hard ground pegs and the larger one is used to pilot a hole for the spears
of my Isabella windbreak-this avoids "mushrooming" the top of the spear:if you have an Isabella set you will know what I mean.The pry bar kit came via Amazon Hilka 37401004 Pro Craft Heel and Toe Pry Bar Set(4 bars in all) cost approx£11.Hope this helps.0 -
I seem to have read somewhere someone using coach bolts. Worth a look I suppose.

Hi all, I have posted about using 'coach bolts'. I use Turbo coach screws from Screwfix. 12mmx160mm plated. This is the forth year using the same ones. They come as a 25 pack for £15.69 at the moment, and I have never needed to replace any! I use an 18v
drill to drive them in. If the hardstanding is really hard I use the hammer action! Noisy but not for long. Under the head stainless steel large penny washers help to keep the rubbers in place. I found the most difficult thing was finding a socket driver to
fit the drill. You screw them in and can use the drill in reverse to unscrew them again.0
