[TowerTalk] Guy Anchors in Concrete Pad Question

[Mark Robinson]

It is probably only about 4 inches thick or less....I can't imagine that it 
would provide the strength that you are looking for unless it was laid with 
mesh or rebar. Unlikely since most people are pretty cheap

Can't you knock a hole in it and set in a screw anchor and then concrete the 
hole back again.
