Ground anchors are tension elements that secure structures, equipment, and installations by anchoring them firmly to the ground. They resist forces such as wind, tension, and seismic shifts, proving essential in power distribution, telecommunications, construction, and landscaping. These devices can be driven, screwed, or buried into various soil types to prevent unwanted movement and ensure long-term support for utility poles, guy wires, transmission towers, and recreational equipment.
Constructed from hardened or cold-rolled steel that is hot-dip galvanized, ground anchors offer exceptional corrosion resistance and durability across all weather conditions. Their spiral or helical design enables rotation during installation, cutting into the ground to optimize grip and stability. Many models include bolt fixings for secure attachment and feature a flat profile that lies flush with the ground when not in use, enhancing safety. Installation typically requires only basic tools like a sledgehammer or mallet, and no concrete is needed in many applications.
Specifications vary by model, with diameters commonly ranging from 12mm to 16mm and weights from approximately 4 to 6 pounds. These anchors handle significant loads, with some types supporting working loads exceeding 1,000 kips in appropriate soil conditions. They perform reliably in diverse ground types including grass, clay, chalk, and compacted soils, making them suitable for both temporary and permanent applications while remaining reusable with minimal trace left behind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ground anchor used for?
Ground anchors are designed for anchoring trees, wooden or metal play structures firmly to the ground. They can be used to tie down anything to the ground and make it secure, such as sheds, travel trailers, cabins, garages, trampolines, kid's swing sets, slides, canopies, campers, and fences. RaxPower ground anchors provide stability and security for various applications, including as a theft deterrent and for wind or storm protection.
What are the benefits of using ground anchors?
The benefits include no concrete or digging required, time and cost savings, versatility for various applications, ease of installation and removal, and low environmental impact. RaxPower ground anchors provide a secure and stable base, offering a practical alternative to traditional foundation methods.
What materials are ground anchors made from and how are they protected against corrosion?
RaxPower ground anchors are made from durable materials such as cold-rolled steel or hardened steel, providing maximum resistance against cutting and tampering. They feature hot-dip galvanized or corrosion-resistant coatings, making them suitable for all weather conditions and ensuring long-lasting performance outdoors without degradation, though regular maintenance is recommended in extreme environments.
How do I install a ground anchor?
Installation is straightforward. Using a sledge hammer, force the anchor into the ground; it will rotate when hit and cut a precise thread. Continue until close to or at ground level. For harder earth, wet thoroughly before beginning. Once installed, you can attach a bracket to secure your structure. RaxPower ground anchors are easy to install without the need for concrete or digging.
What types of soil are ground anchors suitable for?
RaxPower ground anchors are suitable for a variety of soil conditions including grass, hard compacted ground, chalk, clay, and general soil. They are not recommended for rocky or sandy soil conditions or gravel type ground/surfaces, as these may affect performance.
Can ground anchors be reused?
Yes, RaxPower ground anchors can be re-used over and over again. They are designed for easy removal if required, making them suitable for both temporary and permanent installations without leaving a trace, providing cost savings and flexibility for projects.
How are ground anchors tested to ensure they meet required load capacities?
Anchor load testing is conducted to confirm load capacity and load distortion behavior, including performance tests, proof tests, and extended creep tests to evaluate creep deformations and ensure stability under design loads.
Do you offer different types of ground anchors to suit various soil conditions and project requirements?
Yes, a range of ground anchors is available, including helical screw anchors, grouted anchors, mechanical rock anchors, and soil anchors, each designed for specific soil types and applications to ensure optimal performance.
