Who is GARD&ROCK and what does the brand offer?

GARD&ROCK is a French brand founded in Angers (Maine-et-Loire) in 2016. It offers removable anchoring solutions as well as shading and leisure equipment for the garden: parasols, shade sails, hammocks, multisport poles and solar lights. Its patented systems are designed to last and to be easy to install or reposition by yourself, offering homeowners a functional, aesthetic and modular garden worthy of a professional landscaper.

Bonus: when you are not using your equipment, simply store it away!
Enjoy a clear and tidy garden all year round, without visible poles or heavy ballast slabs to move around.

Where should you install the Gard&Rock ground anchor base (Ref. 4258-001)?

The Gard&Rock anchoring base (REF 428-001) can be installed almost anywhere: soil, gravel, wooden or tiled terraces, concrete slabs, flat or sloped ground, pool edges… It integrates discreetly into your landscape because it sits flush with the ground. Choose the location according to the equipment used and the sun orientation.

Bonus: place several bases in strategic locations to easily move your equipment during the day.

How to install the Gard&Rock ground anchor base (Ref. 428-001) in the ground?

The installation method mainly depends on the type of ground and the equipment you want to install.
Our tutorials show you step by step how to install the anchoring base easily and neatly, whatever your terrain.

- If your ground is stable, you can simply screw the anchoring base (REF 428-001) directly into the soil using the installation bar.

- If your ground is hard or unstable (terrace, concrete, stabilized ground…), it is recommended to embed the base in a small, discreet concrete footing to ensure a solid and durable fixation.

- If the equipment applies an off-centre force (hammock post, shade sail pole, offset parasol base…), we also recommend embedding the base in concrete for greater safety and stability.

What are the dimensions of the sports net?

The sports net measures 5 m in length, with an 80 cm cord at each end. Its height is 60 cm.
The ideal distance between the two poles is between 5.2 m and 6.6 m — but the net can also be shortened !
Thanks to the telescopic sports poles (REF 428-003), you can adjust the top of the net between 60 cm and 2 m.
Perfect for switching easily between sports like tennis, volleyball, aqua-volleyball, and badminton — for kids and adults alike.

Bonus: After the game, unclip the poles in one quick move and reuse your anchoring base to relax in the shade of a parasol!

Is my offset umbrella compatible with the Gard&Rock base (Ref. 428-007)?

The Gard&Rock Offset Parasol Base (REF 428-007) is compatible with 95% of parasols on the market.
The shape or size of the mast doesn't matter — only the spacing between the screws on the mounting plate does.
It must be between 55 and 133 mm (or 77 to 188 mm if measured diagonally).
For optimal stability, choose an offset parasol with a canopy no larger than 4 x 3 meters.

Bonus: The system eliminates bulky, heavy ballast slabs. Free up floor space and easily reposition your parasol with the sun.

How can you avoid heavy ballast slabs and bulky bases to hold a parasol ?

Ballast slabs and traditional parasol bases are often heavy, bulky and not very aesthetic on a terrace or in a garden. There is a more practical and discreet solution thanks to the Gard&Rock modular anchoring system.

The Gard&Rock anchoring base (REF 428-001) is installed directly in the ground (soil, gravel, terrace with concrete sealing, etc.) and sits flush with the ground for a discreet integration into your outdoor space.

The principle is simple: an anchoring base installed in the ground then allows you to fix different garden equipment according to your needs.
https://en.gardandrock.com/product/1/anchoring-base

Is your parasol straight or tilting?
Use the Gard&Rock straight parasol base (REF 428-002) which attaches directly to the anchoring base.
https://en.gardandrock.com/product/2/stand-for-straight-parasol

Is your parasol offset?
Use the Gard&Rock offset parasol base (REF 428-007), compatible with most offset parasols on the market.
https://en.gardandrock.com/product/4/stand-for-side-pole-parasol

You get a stable and secure fixation, without heavy slabs to move or bulky bases on the ground.

Bonus: when the parasol is not in use, you can easily remove it and enjoy a completely clear outdoor space.

How do you adjust the height of a shade sail pole?

The Gard&Rock telescopic poles (REF 428-011) allow you to adjust the height of the shade sail between 1.25 m and 2.30 m.
This lets you adapt the angle of your sail according to the sun’s position or the weather.
For proper water drainage when it rains, simply set each pole at a different height.
The installation adapts to your needs and maximizes shade comfort.

Bonus: Adjust the shade to match your lifestyle!

Which shade sail should you choose for Gard&Rock poles ?

Gard&Rock shade sail poles (REF 428-011) are designed to support shade sails up to about 12 m².

This corresponds for example to:
- a rectangular shade sail up to 4 × 3 m,
- a triangular shade sail up to approximately 5 × 5 × 5 m.

These dimensions ensure good tension of the sail while maintaining excellent pole stability.

For larger surfaces, we recommend installing several fixing points or using shade nets.

Tip: to install your shade sail easily and adjust its tension, we recommend using ropes and carabiners, which allow quick fixing and easy adjustment depending on the position of the sun.

Which hammock can I use with Gard&Rock poles?

Gard&Rock posts (REF 428-014) are compatible with most spreader-bar or loop-end hammocks up to 3 m in length.
Choose a single-person model designed for tension between two fixed points.
Check the ends of your hammock to ensure they attach easily to the hooks on the posts.

https://en.gardandrock.com/product/19/hammock-post

What is the ideal distance between two poles for a hammock?

The ideal distance between the two bases (REF 428-001) is a maximum of 2.6 m.
With the angled position of the poles (REF 428-014), this corresponds to about 3 m between the upper attachment points.
This setup ensures good tension in the hammock without sagging.
For optimal comfort, use a spreader-bar hammock under 3 m long.

Bonus: You can also hang your hammock between a tree and a Gard&Rock pole!
