The best source for guy anchor info is from AB Chance Co. in MO. They
manufacture most or all of the anchor rods out there for the utilities.
Rohn's anchors
tend to be overpriced and they dont sell ground anchors (except for screw
ins).
Chance has a whole catolog of anchoring info and the prices are right!
