Anchor Recommendations

There are four types of anchors that are most commonly used with our towers, screw in "Auger" type anchors, hammer driven "duckbill" anchors, cast concrete anchors and expansion bolts (for use only in solid rock). What anchor should be used depends on the soil type that the anchors will be placed in. See the following table for our suggestions.

Soil Type

Sand

Loose Gravel

Loam

Clay

Rocky Soil

Gravely Soil

Solid (Soft) Rock

Solid (Hard) Rock

Recommended Anchor

Buried in Concrete

Auger
