I'm planning to install a 70' radio tower on my property in the spring. It's guyed with Kevlar guys anchored with Earth Anchors (or augers if you prefer) just like those used for anchoring mobile homes. The ones I'll be using are 8 inch diameter and 48" long. They should be installed with the eye pointing to the top of the tower. So they will be inclined at about 40 degrees off the vertical.
Any ideas on screwing these things into the ground? The ground seems to have no rocks of major size, so I don't think that's an issue.
I'm considering substituting a concrete filled hole of about 12" dia and maybe four feet deep with an eyebolt anchored in the pour. I'd extend the pier a foot or so above grade to make it easier to trim the grass.
Any ideas for installation of the anchors. If they were vertical I'd try and rig a way to turn then with a 3p PHD.
