Questions & Answers
They were installed on my son's shed, which is 12X20 and located on the east coast of Florida. The wind has no effect on it. br>We bolted the anchors to the shed's base after driving them down right next to it. br>We also used a cordless drill with a 30mm socket to drive them in. I hope this information is useful.
I'm not sure, but I have a decent-sized metal shed and haven't had any problems thus far.
Each end of the cable is looped, and the U bolts are used to close the loops. The first loop is threaded through the auger eyelet, while the second is secured to the foundation with a lag bolt and washer.
According to the manufacturer's specifications, the hole measures 3" in diameter.

We recently finished constructing an 8' x 10' shed and required an anchor kit. We considered a variety of options and types, but this was the best fit for our shed, base, and location. I liked that it came with six stakes rather than just four, and that it included all of the necessary hardware and connectors. Be aware that it is extremely difficult to get all of the stakes into the ground, but once they are all in place, the shed will go nowhere. We found that using a longer metal drive torque wrench allowed us to get enough leverage on both sides and really dig them in. It took a long time to put everything together, but once it's done, it's extremely strong and durable. This is the best ground anchor kit for the money and what you get.
The anchors are fantastic in and of themselves. Cables and clamps, on the other hand, are a different story. This is how I used to keep a big shed secure. When I tried to use the clamps that came with it, the threads on the shaft stripped right off. I purchased heavier ones with thicker cable, and the anchors themselves performed admirably, which was primarily what I required.
Anchoring grapevine end posts is an example of a practical application. The end posts are 8' tall with a diameter of 5". To connect the end post to the earth anchors, I used 12 gauge wire. Installing these into the ground took some effort, so I used a 4' bar through the earth anchor eye hole, putting my oblique muscles to the test. Installed in early spring, so the ground was thankfully damp. It might have been difficult to get these bad boys into the ground otherwise.
They're a little on the long side, but they get the job done. They're being used to hold down a 10'x20' shed because I live on top of a hill, and they're working great.
So far, they appear to be performing admirably for my purposes. These earth anchors were purchased because I needed a way to keep my Mini- They are a bit of a pain to install, as some comments have mentioned, but they keep the vineyard end posts from being pulled inward. It might be easier to use an impact drill or another type of power tool. They appear to do the job in general, but they're nothing to write home about. Only time will tell how long or how well these will serve my needs. Each row of vines is 70 feet long and has three wires.
These were used to secure my metal shed, which was 18x21. We've had a few strong winds, and it's still standing. Using a socket and impact to drive them was an excellent suggestion.
I made a driver to fit over the loop of the anchor and used a large drill to drive them in.
They went into the ground without difficulty. A hurricane is expected to hit Florida, so secure the shed. They perform admirably.
