6 Pack Ground Earth Anchors - Easy Hook Anchor with 30" Long x 1/8" Cable, Ideal for Securing Shed, Fence, Green House, Swing Set and More..

Excellent product to secure our metal yard art. We have seen people try to take our sculptures to no avail.

I bought them to anchor my shed and they worked great they were easy to drive into the ground and attach to the shed

I used all 6 of these to anchor a small shed, as required by local code. Driving them into my sand and dirt soil (not clay) was fairly straight forward. The 1/2 inch driving rod is not currently available on Amazon. In its place I decided to use a 4 foot piece of 1/2 inch rebar but found that the surface texture on the rebar made it too thick to fit in the 1/2 well at the top of the anchor. My solution was to spend 20 or so minutes with an angle grinder removing the texture and tapering the tip of the rebar till it fit right. If I had to do it again, I might try some 3/8 inch rebar and see it that was stiff enough to get the job done.

The seller wrote the sizes in the descriptions, but they are really small in my palm. Looks so small that it's doubtful if this anchor hold up 1000 lbs as said, but since I read a report says 3" bullet anchor can hold up to 1700 lbs and minimum 340 lbs, I will try using them to hold down orchard trellis poles.The hole has a flat bottom.Next Monday is the moment of truth.-----After trying on silty sandy soil, I now believe that it holds the pole down pretty hard against tension by 4 wires. Will have to see if it sustains when irrigation hoses and trees give more stress on the wires though.I had to hammer very hard to drive the anchor into the soil.I also used a 1m 16mm rebar as a driving steel. I ground the rebar end so that it can fit in the hole of the anchor.

Perfect for the trap line. Have used and reused. Cable hold up well. Have bought coyotes, boons and bobcats and held up well. Bought more

The wire is not super thick. I would not have minded a thicker wire connection, but for what it is rated, I'm sure it is fine. I used a rebar rod (maybe 3 feet long) smaller than the hole input on this to drive the anchor into clay that probably had roots in it. I drove them almost the full length of the wire, which was a long distance. I used a combination of single-handed sledge hammer and an electric jackhammer with an adapter that would accept the rebar driver. To put it mildly, these things were A BEAR to get driven in. (Probably easier in something other than clay). It took maybe 10-15 minutes to drive in each one, and a HUGE physical effort. Manual hammering was necessary to get it started. After that is was manual hammering and jack-hammering. The electric jack-hammer did not always advance the rod - manual hammering always did the trick, but it was difficult. Once in, they seemed to set pretty well (I could not pull them out using a piece of rebar and all my body weight). The rebar driver will always be stuck in the anchor, so I had to use two large pairs of vice grips on the rebar to loosen, then pull it out (somewhat difficult, but less difficult than driving these in). So, I think these work, and should work well, if you have the stamina and patience to drive them in. But again, it is not for the physically frail.

Well made and durable. I use them to brace my trees.
