About This Product

Questions & Answers
Could I use it to anchor a 400pound metal gazebo to the ground?
Yes
Can this be used as an achor for a slackline ?
The earth anchor is not specifically designed for this particular use case.
Could you use this for a boat anchor like a sand shark?
This anchor is rated for up to 3,000 pounds, so the answer is yes assuming your boat weighs under 3,000 pounds.
what is the thickness of the rod?
The screw head is 4 inches in diameter.
Are these strong enough to hold a log on high tide at a beach? AKA put this deep in sand and attach a chain to it that is wrapped around the log? Unsure what the practical strength of these.
We have not tested this specific use case. However, for $9.99 (at time of response) it's probably worth trying out! Let us know how it goes.
what is the inside diameter of the eyelet hole
it is 1.5-1.8 inches, oval shape.
The last line of the Product Details states "plastic material prevents rust and corrosion". Other than that, nowhere do I find what material it's made from. Because it says it's powder coated to prevent rust, I would ASSUME it's made out of steel.
Yes. It is made of steel and powder coating added
This is made of Steel
Can I use it as a winch point to pull 1000lbs?
I've seen similar products (1/2 inch bar thickness) with a maximum axial load on the eye at 700 lbs. Pulling 1000 lbs would be risky.
You might want to stack several anchors, properly connected, in-line with direction of pull.
