Ground Anchors.

Anyone got recommendations for a decent one? Even one that is cemented
in, would be fine.

When I pick up my new cage in Jan, I'll be sticking that in the garage
after the recent spate of vandalism in the street, involving scrotes
keying cages.

The bike will be on my Patio with an anchor. A ground anchor that is
flush with the ground, is ideal, if possible.

 

That reminds me, I need one too. The one I'm keen of is made by hardie,
almost flush with the ground and is supposedly very good [1]

If its only a single bolt fixing it would be easy to get it out of the
ground using a large bar as a lever, even if concreted in.

For this sort of thing to be effective the chain eye has to be below ground
level, so its difficult to get a lever in.

This might be worth a look:

I'd be more inclined to secure the anchor OFF the ground rather than on it.
Fitting it a foot or two up a wall so the chain isn't anywhere near the
ground will make bolt cutting a much more difficult affair, coz the would be
scrotes won't be able to use the ground as one half of the lever.

As for which make, well that'll depend on price and whether or not they're
shi^H^H^H approved by having a sticker on 'em.

I can see your point here, but if you're securing the anchor to breeze
blocks rather than setting it in a concrete floor I'd suspect the breeze
blocks may be the weak point.

Heh.

Garage with decent fucking locks on the doors.
