Hi Friends,
It’s been raining and it’s a good time to install anchors into the ground for a cloth carport that I want to put up over my Rod and Reel. I don’t want to use 5 gallon buckets with gravel or rock in them as we get some pretty rough winds in our area in the fall. I don’t want to risk wind getting underneath and lifting it like a sail. So, I wanted something more permanent.
Any thoughts on earth anchors like this that corkscrew into the ground. These have to go into the ground by twisting a rebar in the eyelet or if you are lucky you can use a drill.
I can't see placing 30" long anchors into the ground though. That's a lot of corkscrewing. Wondering if 6 15" anchors would be okay.
Or these that you hammer into the ground
I can’t afford concrete based anchoring. If these are not galvanized strands, wouldn't these cables start to rust quickly and then become weak?
Thanks,
Rod
