The spike is 87mm in diameter at the collar and tapers to a pointed base, with a black powder-coated finish over the stainless steel construction. Four fixing bolts at the top secure the bollard housing to the spike once driven into the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for domestic garden lighting installation, the spike removes the need for concrete footings or hard-surface mounting when positioning bollard lights along pathways, driveways and lawn edges. The 400mm length provides sufficient depth to hold the bollard upright in most firm soils and turf, though very soft or sandy ground may require additional stabilisation. The spike features a side cable entry port to route the power cable underground before it enters the bollard housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel construction resists corrosion from soil contact and waterlogging, while the black powder-coated finish matches the GLD2 bollard housing. The spike is intended for use with the GLD2 bollard model specifically and may not fit other bollard designs due to the diameter and bolt pattern at the collar. Installation requires hammering or driving the spike into the ground using a rubber mallet or similar tool to avoid damaging the coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_1423867_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich bollard models is this spike compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spike is designed specifically for the Knightsbridge GLD2 bollard light. The 87mm diameter collar and four-bolt fixing pattern match the GLD2 base. Other bollard models may have different diameters or mounting requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of ground is suitable for spike installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 400mm spike works best in firm soil, compacted clay and established lawns. Very soft, sandy or waterlogged ground may not provide enough resistance to keep the bollard upright under wind load. Rocky or heavily compacted ground may require pre-drilling a pilot hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the power cable routed through the spike?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spike features a side cable entry port visible in the image. The power cable runs underground to this port, then enters the spike and travels up through the hollow interior before connecting to the bollard light inside the housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the spike be removed and repositioned?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The spike can be withdrawn from the ground by unscrewing the bollard housing from the top fixing bolts and pulling the spike upward. Repositioning is straightforward in soft ground, though repeated installation may loosen the soil around the spike and reduce stability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knightsbridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45293865828619,"sku":"GDLSPIKE2","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/156144_b0b8f775-b419-419b-8993-c8a656ee0a1b.jpg?v=1714665149","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/bollard-ground-spike-400mm-stainless-steel-black","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
