Plamp Ground Spike
The Ground Spike is a custom-designed screwdriver, designed specifically to serve as the anchor for the Plamp Stake. It's high-strength steel shank and ergonomic handle allows you to penetrate even the toughest ground without damaging it. A slotted screw allows you to adjust how tightly the handle fits into the socket of the Extension Tube. Ground spike can be used by itself or in conjunction with the Extension Tube to add more height.

Plamp Extension Tube
The Extension Tube is a rigid plastic tube with a flared end that fits snugly on the handle of the Ground Spike. Multiple extensions may be connected in series to achieve the desired height. (Each one adds about 10" of height.)

Stow-Away Design
For Storage, simply reverse the ground spike. This makes the unit more compact and keeps the debris stuck to the spike contained in a protective sheath.
