is there a spike to stick in the ground which would allow this item to stay in place? If so what material is it made of. thanks

Yes there is a spike. It's about 4 or 5 inches long and is made of plastic.

The Noodlehead is made of tough ABS plastic which is a good defense against the outdoors. Many folks have used their Noodleheads for over 10 years!

Yes. Every Noodlehead comes with a spike to anchor the sprinkler into soil. You can also use the mounting holes to anchor it to a board or a fence or even an overhang. Thanks for "using your noodle" and using a Noodlhead!

Anything can be anchored down if you put your mind to it but why would you want to? It comes with 24" built-in ground spikes as part of the assembly and unless you anticipate using this item in a hurricane, I'd leave it alone! It's strong, but if you start throwing metal straps across the top of it, not only will it look bad but you're likely to crush it!

I used it so spike doesn't have to jump on the bed I stick it under mattress between the box spring . it does have rubber on the bottom so it won't slide

It has 2 prongs made of the same metal as the rest of the pole. It's pretty sturdy. I hang a bug zapper on it and it stays in place.

There are no spikes, I put an orange 1/2 on the center hanging pole, not very convenient.

I have found you really don't need the spikes. Out of doors it might be an issue as I find mine tends to blow over but in a garage it should not be a problem. I use the small caloway mat (about a square foot or so that I hold down on with a 30 or 40 penny nail. It's less expensive than a bigger mat though you might have problems anchoring it on a concrete floor. Though you could nail it to a large sheet of plywood.

It would set up on a hard surface it has no spikes to anchor it to the ground just feet. It needs weighting down in any sort of wind - a sandbag or dumbell or something.

You can either dig a small hole about 18 inches deep and bury it or as we did, you can just hammer it in with a rubber mallot. If you hammer it in place something like a chunk of wood over the spike so you don't damage it.

The canopy is made to be planted in the ground using the included ground spikes to stabilize the canopy.if your going to put it on a cement surface and its windy it will be a problem.

You definately want to anchor this to the ground. It comes with 4 long U shaped spikes and straps that secure it to the ground. If the child swings to hard it will come up on the pavement. We built ours on the concrete patio and I tried it for sturdiness before moving it onto the mulch of the playground, it definately slides and the small end (without the house) will rock back and forth. Even now when I swing next to my son (he's one, and in the baby swing and I'm about 115 pounds) it moves a little bit and it's anchored in really good. This wouldn't deter me from buying it again since it isn't made for bigger kids (or me...) You definately want to anchor this to the ground.

It looks like a decorative plastic covering, but the base is WAY heavy, maybe concrete. There is no way this will ever tip over, no matter how lop-sided it gets loaded. Very sturdy! I hope this helps.

I didnt have any kind of spike... my umbrella is free standing, the base sits on the porch, flat part of umbrella is against my eaves( there is no covering on my porch, so this is used to protect my back porch). Because we have a lot of high winds, I do have the pole of the umbrella bungy-corded to the porch railing for added safety. This is the 2nd type of umbrella I have had, the first had a different base and pole was not nearly as sturdy, this is much nicer, but in extreme winds, we do lower the umbrella for safety

Not really but once you get most of it out it wants to tip over when you pull on it. You would have to do something in addition to the spikes most likely to secure it down. I was disappointed because the hose connector broke and now it is of no use.

Floor spikes are adjustable for leveling. They are a screw ended floor spike with a nut to tighten so they stay in place longer. Over all excellent stands for the price.

It comes w/ a quite substantial metal spike that fits snuggly into the bottom of the post that you see in the picture. It should be adequate in most types of soil. Overall I thought that these were very well made for the price.

The bottom of it sticks in the ground. If you push it down you could add tent states if you want but I do not think you need it.

That I don't know, sorry. I really enjoy this raised bed, I have another that has bowed out. This one has kept its shape. I have 2 stacked on top of each other and have had no problems at all. Good luck in your search for spikes
