Brooks Forgings’ newly developed rebar ground anchor socket has gained popularity as a preferred solution for outdoor market refurbishment projects across the UK.

The latest project to use this specialist component is the redevelopment of Bilston Outdoor Market.

Outdoor markets often require secure, reliable and practical fixing points for stalls, marquees and temporary structures. These fixing points need to support day-to-day market operations while also providing a safe and durable solution for long-term use.

Brooks Forgings’ rebar ground anchor socket has been developed to provide a robust tie-down point for this type of application.

The socket can be installed into concrete to create a permanent fixing point. When the market stalls or marquees are not in use, a flush-fitting cap can be fitted. When required, a suitable eye bolt can be installed to create a secure tie-down point.

This approach provides a practical and low-profile solution for busy public spaces, helping to keep the surface clear when the anchor point is not being used.

For market redevelopment projects, the system offers a strong and durable option for securing temporary structures while maintaining flexibility for changing layouts and daily operations.

Brooks Forgings continues to support public realm, market and infrastructure projects with bespoke forged and fabricated components manufactured to suit specific project requirements.

The company welcomes enquiries for rebar ground anchor sockets and other bespoke tie-down solutions for outdoor markets, public spaces, campsites, leisure sites and industrial applications.
