Earth Anchors
Duckbill anchors are driven into the ground vertically with a minimum of penetration resistance which compacts and does not disturb the soil it pulls against.  Once driven in to the required depth, an upward pull on the cable planes (rotates) the Duckbill into a load lock position at approximately 15° horizontal.  Further upward tension causes the anchor to plane sideways through the earth, against undisturbed soil, resisting pullout and increasing holding power.

Duckbill is easy to install and is a labor and time-saving device.  One man can drive Duckbills with manual or hand held power tools.  No digging, no extra manpower, no sophisticated machinery.

Duckbill will not corrode or rust, and the cable is high strength galvanized steel.  Duckbills are light in weight for their strength.  Made of high impact and shock resistant, tenzaloy aluminum alloy.
