Ground anchors
|
I'd like recommendations please.
Must be a "bolt to the floor" job rather than a "set in concrete" job
as don't fancy digging holes in my garage floor.
|
It's not that hard...
|
Why on earth would I want to check the ukrm site, eh? That's far to
easy.

Get large plastic bucket, fill with concrete and set loop. There you
are, one bucket-o-crete.
|
|
I don't really fancy a bolt-down one - just think of the cost of the
phone call to tell the bloke in Oz to tighten the nut.

What did you want a recommendation based on :
Ease of installation ?
Theft prevention ?
Colour ?
Style ?
Price ?
I'm perfectly happy with mine, it's attached to the ground, apparently
solidly, but I've not tried pulling it out with a jeep or similar, nor
have I had a bash at it with any sort of power tools. It's a bright
yellow colour, square and not very stylish. It's fairly large since
the chain I have is a chunky one. Fitting it was simple as I handed it
to a guy and said - "Here, fit this there please, I'll get you a beer
now". There was definitely a tube of chemical stuff involved, some
light drilling of the floor.
I can have a look for the manufacturer / model stuff when I get home
or certainly within a few days, I've no idea of the price as it came
with my Almax chain and lock kit.

I often wonder if anything other than a large thick U clamp set into the
floor is all you need, just to slow down the scrotes. I watched a friend
cut through his very expensive heavy duty chain with a battery powered
angle grinder with a diamond blade in. It went through it in very short
order. The very expensive lock had decided not to unlock no matter how
much WD40, penetrating oil, heat etc was used. I'm not sure why he
didn't cut through the lock. Maybe it was too thick?
|
I got an old train shackle set into concrete, it is 3 inch diameter &
about 6 inch round. It would take a lot to cut it.
|
So I^hthe scrotes won't be cutting the train shackle. Just out
of curiousity, how thick are your chain links?
|
At the moment around 15mm, but I'm about to buy two Almax jobbies that
are huge.
