I bought this spoke to go with my new rotary dryer as my husband did not want to have to use concrete to secure the dryer into the ground. The ground in the garden was too hard and we only managed to bang the spoke in halfway, before giving up having noticed all the banging with the mallet had damaged the top of the spoke and it was not going to be fit for purpose.  We ended up using concrete anyway so the spoke turned out to be a waste of money and effort.
