FENOX ANCHORS

The FENOX anchor, known world wide, is currently the most outstanding concept in anchors for its qualities of speed and ease of installation. Easy to install with an ordinary hammer, the FENOX anchor, with its 3 anchoring rods which can be deployed in the ground, offers a remarkable pulling resistance.

Universal, adapting to all types of ground, it is particularly recommended for hard, stony ground.

Three dimensions:

  • 60 cm (for light, unconsolidated ground)
  • 1 metre to support very big traction loads.

Tying the top of a post to a soil anchor, at a tie angle of 45°, increases the load carrying capacity above that of a single post. An advantage for mechanical pruning and harvesting is that the tention tie does not intrude into the growing zone.

All anchors are manufactured from steel that conforms to ASTM A-36 M1020.
Tension holding power is based on clay soils which are firm to hard and soils that are dense.
