Anchor is used to secure tents, canopies, awnings, fencing, playground equipment, carports, gazebos, portable sheds, and much more. It can also be used when an area needs to be roped off. The helical auger base screws into all soil types. Installation is easy. Simply twist the auger into the ground and secure at the eyelet. For harder soils, use a turning bar placed through the anchor's eyelet. Plastic material will not rust or corrode in severe weather.
