Anyone who has ever tried desperately to push the rod of an umbrella on a windy day in a rock-hard earth knows how much fun it makes. This 'lawn spike' does exactly what it promises. Very easy it is pressed by hand or even walking in the toughest ground and each screen holds bombproof. Solid processed and competitively priced. We are excited and have just bought the second. The product picture is retouched the way, hence the spine looks even strangely thin, which he is not.
