 Posted: 18:35 - 16 Sep 2011 Post subject: 'Telescopic Ground anchor' in wall? [HELP!] Any thoughts? |
 |
|
For various reasons, I'd like to put one of these in a wall:
https://www.tmlstore.co.uk/images/telescopic_ground_anchor_200.jpg
Wall is err, brick or stone I think.
Thinking just gouging out a hole, maybe some 'channels' inside around it inside (will depend on how the hidden bit of the anchor looks of course), then filling with concrete (something over the front as it dries).
Any thoughts? |

Sounds doable, if a little awkward because gravity and walls and stuff.
Also sounds like you could smash it out with a sledgehammer. ____________________ Go back to bed - You have no rights - "Streetfighters ~ Mainstream motorcycling's crackwhore sister." |

As it's a ground anchor i suspect it won't have any holes in the bottom.
I'd be tempted to drill some holes in the flanges and use some rawlbolts, then use a stiff mix and slowly build it up till flush.
Looks like your hole will have to be deep so may prove difficult to drill for the rawlbolts without some very long masonry bits (££)...So...make the hole in the wall bigger at the back than the front to create a wedge of concrete..again you won't be able to fill it in one hit..use some plywood wedged against the wall as a former.
Without either a big wedge of concrete or bolts i reckon i could pry it out of the wall with a 2m breaker bar.
Hope your wall is deep enough.
[edit] before concreting wet the masonry/bricks to reduce shrinkage. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

The whole thing rotates around the central mount thats held in by a M20 rawlbolt so rotates when hit from all angles, i,ve got another one that l fitted first in my garage and could not remove it even with a sleage hammer had to oxy cut it in the end, its a very good desgin. ____________________ Past:NRG50,AF1125(x2),NSR125RR,ZZR250,CX500,VFR400,KR1S,ZZR600(x2),CB400N,YZF1000(x2),KH125,Z200,FX400R,CBR954RR(x2)GPZ500S,GT550,VFR750F(x2),RD350N,XR650R,CBR600F,CB250,KDX250,YZF750R,CRM250,400EXC,KLR650,TTR600RE,DR350S,R100GSPD,RGV250,VMAX1200,DL650,KZ750 Present:G650XC,C12,CRF450X,1190ADV |

Knock out the wall and dig/drill some holes/foundation to bury some steel frame that the anchor is welded to. Make mold with wood then fill with concrete, finish with bricks/plaster to hide it all.
Weakest link will probably be whatever it you hook the thing up to the anchor with.
EDIT
Got bored, put something like this in your wall.
