Understanding Ground Anchors

The Springfree™ Trampoline Ground Anchor helps to safely and securely anchor your trampoline to the ground. Tested to withstand pull-out forces of approximately 900 N.

Two anchors positioned on either side will securely anchor the trampoline. Each box includes two anchors (4 anchors are required for the R132).

What is a Ground Anchor?

A ground anchor is a vital component in various construction and landscaping projects. It is designed to provide stability and support by securing structures to the ground. Ground anchors are versatile; they can be used in retaining walls, temporary structures, and even in foundations. Because of their effectiveness, they are found in many applications, from residential to commercial, ensuring safety and durability.

Types of Ground Anchors

There are several types of ground anchors, including mechanical, grouted, and driven anchors. Mechanical anchors expand within the ground, providing a strong hold. Grouted anchors are installed by inserting a rod that is then bonded to the surrounding soil using grout, offering high resistive forces. Driven anchors rely on hammering techniques for installation and are often used in softer soils. Each type serves different needs, so it's important to choose the right one for your specific project.

Benefits of Using Ground Anchors

Ground anchors greatly enhance the stability of structures; however, they also offer various other benefits. They withstand weather conditions, reducing the risk of dislodging caused by wind or rain. Moreover, they are cost-effective solutions compared to traditional foundation methods. Installing ground anchors may require less excavation, saving both time and resources on construction projects. Thus, investing in high-quality ground anchors is crucial for the success and longevity of your structures.
