Mobile Home Part Set of 8 Auger Anchors; 8-8 ft Tie Down Strap, & 8 Bolts

Great quality for the money!Where we live in TN the soil goes from dirt to rock then clay, so the overall process was a lot more difficult than I hoped. Using an auger and a post hole digger I dug the pilot holes. I started the anchors by placing them in the holes and added a few simple twists to keep them somewhat aligned. Then I used an angle drill with an adapter that I made to fit the saddle, to set the anchors as deep as the drill could handle, or until it stopped. Now comes the fun part (not)! The YouTube video shows a guy turning the anchors with a 2x4, with good results. Ha, not the case for me! I only got a couple full turns on the anchor before I knew this method wasn’t going to work for me! After several more attempts, using a large crescent wrench with an extension, a pipe wrench doing the same, and a chain wrench… with little success, I knew I was in for a more of struggle than I anticipated! Finally I grabbed a 6’ pry-bar, laid it in the saddle and was able to turn the anchors 1/2 a turn at a time. I continued this process until the angle of the anchor prevented the bar from staying in the saddle, unless I was crawling on my knees. I found this exhausting. After struggling with through, using that process, I got 4 of the 8 anchors in the ground to an acceptable level. So on the next 4 I repeated the above process until it got to the part of being on my knees to twist the anchors using the pry-bar.Using the bolt holes of the saddle, I inserted a couple bolts just above the pry-bar. This held the bar flat in the saddle and very low to the ground. Then I took a tow strap and slid it over the opposite end of the bar and… this abled me to continue twisting the anchors just by pulling the strap, and resetting the bar as needed to complete the process. Using this method, I did in minutes what it took me hours to do without it.Hope this helps someone!Good luck!!

These anchors are great! I was impressed with how well they were made. I was able to drive the anchor in using a long metal bar to turn them. The racheting bolt method was easy to do. Just watch a video or two on YouTube and have the right ratchet and wrench sizing.

good

Worked out ok paid someone to install these on a 14x40 mobile home not sure if it was missing one nut or the guy lost it but bought another nut to go on the bolt

Well made and strong looking. Without some power tools and without prior experience they are difficult to install, but I finally got them in. Very glad I bought them. That little garage will not blow away now.

Quality, rugged steel anchors!

They worked like they should, no issues.

Because of these tie downs I was able to find a company in Albany NY that would provide a mortgage to a buyer on a 1985 single wide trailer (on its own lot well and septic) so for under $300 (we needed 12) what was once un mortgageable or cash only sale was now mortgageable. It sold in 3months of install. The trailer had been for sale of and on for years. Was able to get over 30,000. more then planned on the original cash sale price. :)
