Ground anchor designs?
 

Hi guys,

One of my mates works in some factory place, he has said he can make me a ground anchor to sink into my concrete shed base.

I was wondering if anyone had the dimensions for a decent one that i could copy to use.

Any help is appreciated :)

Y anchor.

Go buy yourself an almax, give that to him and then he can scrounge some pipe bends that it will fit through.

Wouldn't a hole with a steel bar across it be just as good as one of those Y things?

If you know of a decent marine salvage yard, look out for some _heavy_ anchor chain. I've seen bits where the links are large enough to put your arm through. Buy three links, bury two under the floor and leave the third one protruding.

That's what was in my shed. There was also a flat plate welded to the bottom to give it some purchase on the concrete. A flush one might be better as it wouldn't get in the way quite so much.

Our ground anchor is a one inch steel bar, a foot long and buried in four inches of concrete. Getting a chain around it is a real swine, but it is not coming out with out a lot of fuss! :D
