Ground Anchor.

Have just invested the princely sum of £7.50 on one of these. We actually bought ours from Amazon but they are now out of stock. Having looked at several types last year in a French Superstore we didn't purchase one as they all looked a bit flimsy but this one looks a mean bit of kit. Obviously metal would be the way to go but they can be a bit pricey.

I've taken a photo of it alongside a wrist watch for scale. The grey handles fold away once the spike is in situ.
We wanted the spike for a parasol or possibly a flag pole or rotary washing line. We've not tried it out yet so will reserve judgement.

Phooey.

You could have got one here for four quid.

You'd have had to have bought forty-six quid's worth of other stuff because of the minimum order restriction, but it's still four quid, innit
