A screw picket is a metal device used to secure something to the ground. Today, screw pickets are used widely to temporarily "picket" dogs and grazing animals such as sheep, goats, and horses. Screw pickets are also used to stabilize small trees, tent poles, and other objects that are intended to remain upright. The original picket was a stake hammered into the ground to secure a horse by tying it to the stake.

- A screw picket is a metal device used to secure something to the ground. Today, screw pickets are used widely to temporarily "picket" dogs and grazing animals such as sheep, goats, and horses. Screw pickets are also used to stabilize small trees, tent poles, and other objects that are intended to remain upright. The original picket was a stake hammered into the ground to secure a horse by tying it to the stake. This required a second tool (a hammer) or the availability of a rock to use instead of a tool. The screw picket is screwed (turned) into the ground; in hard ground it too requires a second tool (a leverage bar, or perhaps a spare screw picket) or the availability of a length of wood. Screw pickets are more easily bent or broken, but less easily pulled from the ground.
