drawing (figure 2), dig holes
approximately 16” deep. Set arbor in
holes and level. Back fill with soil
removed from holes. For permanent
installation fill with cement.
Option 2
Using ground anchor installation layout
drawing (figure 2), pound ground
anchors into ground according to
dimensions. When pounding into
ground, use block of wood to prevent
ground anchor from bending.
