Ground Anchors

We have modified a substantial number of our products to enable them to be ground fixed using the unique Rootfast® antivandal anchorage system from Earth Anchors Ltd.

These popular anchors add a further dimension to our ground fixing options, and enable items of street furniture to be securely ground fixed very quickly indeed.

Installation costs are genuinely reduced using these anchors, and are more predictable, so staying within budget limitations is easier.

The ground must be suitably firm for these anchors to work properly, and it is important always to check for buried services before starting and to use the probe supplied in the installation kit to ensure that the ground is suitable, and clear of obstructions.

All parts of the A7 seat anchor are invisible after installation, which makes the system very tamper resistant.

Litter bins are secured to the flange of the AB3 ground anchor by four tamper resistant shear nuts, which is equally tamper resistant. Many of our seats and litter bins have been modified to enable them to be ground anchored.

The method of installation varies slightly according to the model specified;some designs require the use of a simple positioning jig (coloured yellow in the photographs) to maintain accurate leg spacing.

Litter bin anchors are dimensionally different to seat anchors, though the installation principles are the same.

Seat anchors extend approx. 650mm into the ground, and bin anchors extend approx. 750mm into the ground.
