ANCFR16-ORG-R Folding Ring Spiral Ground Anchor, 16-inch, 4 Pack

Used 4 of these with some ratchet straps to tie down my brother's basketball net. We didn't want to use sandbags or concrete blocks so we twisted these into the ground and the net is STURDY. A grown man can hang on the hoop and it does not budge at all.I weedwhack against these things and they're left out in Florida weather for about a year now and still look brand new. Very durable and doing a great job.

I have several sets of these. One set was used to anchor a trampoline to the ground so that thunderstorms or high wind cannot move it. These have been in use for about 7 years and the trampoline has never moved. I bought another set recently to provide a robust anchor points for a set of 1.5 inch ratchet straps being used to stabilize several 15-20 foot trees we recently transplanted. The anchors are 18” long screwed fully into the ground and they hold against significant tension applied by the ratchet straps. The anchors have stayed put for about two months now. The anchors are made of approx 5/8 inch steel with a 2 inch wide coil. Mine are 18“ long but they come in several lengths.

I have clay/rocky soil so I was really worried about getting these all the way into the ground. Zero issues. Installed 2 on a steep slope and that sharp tip immediately bit into the ground. Put a crowbar through loop and twisted until they went all the way in. Ratchet strapped a 20' section of heavily leaning 6' tall wood fence. Stayed snug and perfect on one coil. Used some regular straps to tie down the propped fence to 2 different coils, took ratchet strap off. Voila. Fence held in place. Ready for reinforcements on the leaning side. Couldn't be happier.

Solid and held the basketball net pole sturdy.

I have several sets of these. One set holds the awning taught on our motor home in the sandpile that is Florida (loose sandy top, then firm below, the shorter ones didn't reach the firm). I have never had 1 of these unscrew or break!We have the other set attached to ratchet straps to tension our 10 by 12 gazebo. This keeps it from moving in the wind and have never had a failure!They can be difficult to turn in for the last 6" but are well worth the effort.

I purchased these to hold down my children's trampoline during high winds. These are amazing and pretty easy to install. Trickiest part was finding the right spot to secure to the ground. Trampoline hasn't even flinched since we installed these.

I bought these 16” anchors to tie down our canopy tent at the beach. They work great! The sand was soft enough to get the anchors about 90% buried without using a lever. We bought a few bungee cables to attach the tent to the loop in the top of the anchors. The tent never budged even with the stiff ocean breeze. The anchors are thick metal and seem really well constructed. Much better than those flimsy, short pegs that were sent with the tent canopy. Totally recommend for use at the beach.

The spiral anchor is much easier and quicker to get into an effective depth than standard augers anchors (we have both.) These spiral anchors move past stones in the soil far easier. They are built well. We use them to ratchet a canopy down against the wind. Even with side walls on, these anchors do not pull out of the ground. It's also easie to remove them when that time comes.
