Ground screw foundations are an alternative to traditional concrete footings. Instead of digging holes and pouring concrete, steel screws are installed into the ground using a high torque, low speed anchor drive.

Ground screws provide strong, stable foundations for nearly any building project. Many of our clients are commonly using them as foundations for decks, cabins, sheds, pergolas, glamping sites, and solar arrays.

Why Ground Screws Work Well in Montana

Montana's freeze-thaw cycles and deep frost lines can make concrete foundations difficult to install. Ground screws are installed below the frost line and provide stable support even in challenging soil conditions.

Benefits include:

• No concrete pouring
• Minimal excavation
• Faster installation
• Immediate load bearing
• Lower site disturbance

Structures That Use Ground Screws

Ground screws are commonly used for:

• Deck foundations
• Cabins

• Glamping Sites
• Pergolas and outdoor structures
• Solar panel arrays

Because they install quickly and avoid heavy excavation, ground screws are often ideal for rural properties and uneven terrain - but they are also great for backyards where access is minimal and preservation of landscaping is a priority.

Ground Screws vs Concrete Footings

Traditional concrete footings require digging, forms, and curing time. Ground screws can typically be installed in a single visit and are ready to support structures immediately.

For many deck and cabin projects, ground screws provide a faster and more efficient alternative to concrete foundations.
