How do I fasten The Stump to the ground?

The Stump is designed to have 4 vertical legs for maximum strength. With that being said, this design does require you to dig 4 holes and bury your posts into the ground.

No, back filling will be sufficient. However it never hurts to use cement for added strength.

What if my soil is all rock and I can’t dig holes?

No problem, we have designed two options for you. 1. Our outriggers allow you to elevate a stump and not have to dig your legs into the ground. The Outriggers create 4 slanted legs (off your four main legs) to give a wider base and stabilize the stand. 2. You can go with The Stump trailer, which allows The Stump to be mobile and no digging is needed.
