Anchor Installation
The old popup opened too small, which made the demo hard to use. This button now
opens a larger, resizable popup so the video displays clearly.

How Our Anchors Work
Concrete Decks
- Using a rotary hammer drill with a 3/4 inch masonry bit, drill 2 inches into the deck.
- Put the brass casing into the hole and tamp it down lightly with the Tamper Tool until flush with the
deck. Do not pound the anchor in with the anchor insert in place.
- Screw the brass insert into the casing leaving about 1/3 of the anchor insert above the deck to secure
the spring.
Wood Decks
- Using a drill with a 1 1/2 inch self-boring bit, countersink a hole 1/8 inch deep into the wood deck.
- Directly in the center of that hole, drill a 3/4 inch diameter hole into the deck at least 2 inches
deep.
- Insert the flange portion of the anchor into the deck and secure to deck with wood screws provided.
- Screw the insert into the flange leaving about 1/3 of the anchor above the deck to secure the spring.
Brick or Stone Decks
Decks made with brick or stone require a steel sleeve to support anchors. These may be
made from 3/4" inside diameter conduit cut in 14"-18" pieces.
- Using a rotary hammer drill with 1 inch masonry bit, drill through brick or stone to soft ground (be
careful not to crack brick or stone while drilling).
- Tap anchor into end of conduit.
- Using a block of wood and a hammer, drive the anchor sleeve into the ground flush with the deck.
- Screw the brass insert into the casing leaving about 1/3 of the anchor above the deck to secure the
spring.
Lawn or Planters
This method can be used in lawn or planters only if 10% or less of the straps are anchored
in this manner.
