Tnx.
Good anchors have pullout resistance specs that vary depending on the type of
anchor and the soil. The pullout specs on the American model PE46-guy are
very impressive when compared to the anchors with single discs. I don’t know
if Rohn provides pullout specs with their anchors, but they should.
