30'' Fully Welded Ground Anchors Screw in, Wider Spiral Earth Anchor for Swing Set, 2pcs Mobile Home Anchors, Wind Resistant Trampoline Wind Anchors, Ground Anchors for Sheds

We are using this for tying out the dog on a long stainless steel cable. She is only out for short periods as we don't have a fence. She is an indoor dog! Anyway, the ones for dogs in the stores just kept pulling out and rusting out so we got this one and it works great for what we need it to. She can't pull this one out even after all the rain we had recently.

These work great, heavy duty.

I used these to anchor a plastic 55-gallon drum, that was cut in half long ways, at ground level to make a water hole in the woods for hunting.For a visual, I dug a hole in the ground large enough to make the "top" of my half drum approximately level with the ground in a naturally low area so that I could hold water in the area a little longer after rain events. I have rebar spanned across the drum that connects to these anchors. So the rebar holds the drum down only if the anchors stay in place. This is one of the renditions I have tried and seems to be a success thus far. Pretty sure my rebar will give out before these anchors loose their hold on the ground.Previous ground stakes just didn't have enough bite in them to withstand the upward push of the water on the plastic drum and would then float up and not function how I wanted it to.Easy to install so long as you don't hit anything too big on the way into the ground. Large rocks or roots might force you to move this to a new spot. Appears to be well made and able to withstand being in the elements for a long time.

This is a review of Insaga's 18'' Fully-Welded, Chrome-Plated Ground Stakes.Each earth anchor has some real heft to it which, to me, indicates a strong stake which will not easily bend or break. The entire length of the earth anchor with the screwing mechanism attached is about 17 1/4" (not 18" as advertised). The length of the spiraled segment is appx. 3 1/2". The spiral extends out about 1 1/8" from the axle. This does provide a lot of earth-gripping strength.The stake is sturdy with a good amount of spiral. The actual gripping power of the stake will most likely depend on what the stake is driven into. Obviously, a sandy soil will not give you as reliable gripping as a clay-ish soil.There is an adapter included which allows you to use an electric drill to screw the stake into and out of the ground. I have not used that feature to screw the stake into the ground. (I believe the torque and rotation speed on the stake would be too high to insert the stake in a controlled manner.)There is a loop that is screwed into the top of the stake which is where your rope is run through. When the ground is loose enough, a metal rod can be through the loop and then used as a handle to screw the stake into the ground. When the ground's too hard for that approach, a wrench on the nut-like top of the stake can be used to screw it in.

These trampoline ground anchors can apparently be used for other applications as noted in the description. It is suggested that the stakes are "Fully Welded Ground Stakes, Wider Spiral Earth Anchor for Swing Set, 2pcs Mobile Home Anchors, Wind Resistant Trampoline Wind Anchors, Ground Anchors Screw in for Sheds". I am going to use them as temporary anchors to help me straighten 2 bent steel boat docks that a tree fell upon recently. I'm going to anchor the opposing ends of the docks that are attached end to end. Then after anchoring the outside ends, I plan on using a hydraulic jack to push the point where the two docks are attached to each other and hopefully straighten the area that was bent by the tree.The spiral anchors look like they have the ability to really hold some dirt. Included with the 4 anchors I ordered is an adapter to use for screwing the anchors into the dirt using a power drill or maybe an impact driver. There are also 4 screw-in eyelets that are used to tie whatever you are hoping to keep in place and not move. The eyes could also be used with a long steel bar or some other appropriate devise to help screw in the anchors by hand. Being fully welded I would expect they will hold up to some substantial load.

This is a heavy duty stake. I wish I had a handful of prior to winter settling in!However I will use them next spring though fall to anchor down my gazebo sides.For times when the wind is blowing so hard it wreaks havoc in my gazebo, this will help me tremendously. I love that the hook screws on and they provided a special socket for your drill to drive the stake into the ground, because it would otherwise be difficult. Super strong metal and very solid flukes for cutting into the ground with make it a solid anchor. These are very nice.

We decided we needed to have these after losing our trampoline to a wind storm. Well... we didn't exactly lose it... We watched it on the camera after it smacked into our shop, cracking the siding and destroying a light, and then as it rolled around to the driveway and sailed off into the neighbors yard. Thankfully it didn't damage anything of theirs.The price of these is CONSIDERABLY less than what it cost to replace the trampoline, repair the siding, and get a new light fixture. We had lead weights in bags on several of the trampoline supports, but those didn't get it done. I know some come with some straight stakes to go over the bards but on sandy soil like we have, that's basically 0 holding power.These stakes however, they go deep and offer a ton of hold even in sandy soil. The configuration with a hex head and adapter make them super easy to sink into the ground. If you've got a variable drill you can just set the speed lower and let the torque get it done. Awesome peace of mind when you don't want something getting thrown about during an occasional wind storm!
