Ground anchors

[tegater 789]

Although I have made some in the past out of washers, to good effect, does anybody know of anywhere selling this style of ground anchor?

 

It was the type sold by Protrapper .

 

They just hold a little better in soft peat than the washer type, and I still have the setting bar.

 

Thanks

Cheers logun, is that a piece of rebar you are using?

 

I could make those out of the same guage wire I make the swivels from??

 

If I was clever enough I would make the other ones I stuck up in the photo, its only mild steel tubing and a hex nut welded on!!

I take it the two bits of wire sticking upwards, pull out when the anchor is set. If so what stops them doing a 180, and will they hold in soft soil do you think?

 

Thanks for you time pal.
