[TowerTalk] Guy Wire Anchors

[Wayne Kline]

Fred,

Not sure of your applications for these  BUT    IMHO  I don’t think it’s an appropriate anchor for tower installation .

All guys tower manufacture have speck for there hight/windload/anchor specifications.

Build it to spec and you can’t go wrong

I have researched guy-wire anchors and found these made by the American Earth Anchors Co. in Rhode Island/


They are pricey but the best part is that they can be easily driven into the ground with an impact wrench. They have excellent pull-out resistance specs.  Almost too good to believe, which makes me skeptical.

Their home page has a video of a 4-foot model being screwed into the ground in a few minutes.



Has anyone used these types of anchors?


Or do you know people who have, and what is the result?


t would appreciate views and opinions.



tnx es 73
