It is not necessary to turn down the entire ground screw, but there are important considerations to take into account how deep the ground screw is to be installed. Here are some important points to consider:
1. Stability and strength
In order for the soil screw to provide sufficient stability and strength, it is important that it is screwed down deep enough. The soil screw needs to be screwed down far enough in the ground to cope with the load project has.
2. Depth
In areas with screw, the soil screw needs to be installed deeper than the depth of the screw in order to avoid problems with rooster.
3. Soil conditions
Soil type and soil conditions also affect how deep the ground screw is to be installed. In looser ground conditions, the screw is required to be screwed down deeper to achieve adequate bearing capacity.
4. The length of the ground screw
If you use a ground screw that is longer than is needed for your specific conditions, you do not need to screw down the entire screw. The important thing is that sufficient part of the screw is down in the ground to ensure stability and strength. (View link to the load diagram)
Stavrex recommendations
Always follow our recommendations for installation. These recommendations are based on tests and experiences and help to ensure that the screw works properly during the expected loads.
In summary, although you do not always need to turn down the entire ground screw, it is crucial that it is screwed down deep enough to achieve the necessary stability and strength. Following these guidelines helps ensure that your installation is secure and durable.
