Easy to fit

In common with our market-leading Torc Ground Anchor, the Beefy Bridge has been designed for easy DIY fit in a wide range of situations using only DIY tools. Indeed, several of the fitting kits are exactly the same as those used with the Torc Ground Anchor. This anchor is lower cost, but you still get the benefit of top quality fixings!

The instructions are written in a detailed, step-by-step way to guide you through the process of achieving a high-security fitting without needing exotic tools or advanced skills. There are numerous pictures and we are happy to give advice by e-mail.

You should generally be able to fit the Beefy Bridge in less than an hour.

Wide choice of fitting kits

The Beefy Bridge Ground Anchor is available with a choice of four fitting kits to suit your application. No other ground anchor at this price has the level of certification and the same choice of approved fitting kits! Each fitting kit is designed to give maximum security combined with ease of installation.

The Beefy Bridge Ground Anchor is available with a choice of the following fitting kits, every one of them identical to that used with our Torc Ground Anchor (pricing varies):

• Concrete Floor (with chemical resin capsules, for good quality concrete)
• Brick Wall/Mediocre Concrete etc (with four expanding bolts/shield anchors, shown to the right)
• Injection resin cartridge for awkward substrates, for the best fixing in mediocre concrete etc
• Van, Steel Container and Bike Shed (with four bolts, shear nuts and load-spreading penny washers)

In each package you will get a full fitting kit and fitting instructions, together with all the relevant bolts. The concrete floor and injection resin kits include a 12mm masonry drill bit; the brick wall kit includes a 16mm masonry bit. Those kits also include a length of plastic pipe to help you clean dust from the holes!

Note: Any ground anchor using expanding bolts should not be fitted to a wall within 2.0 metres (6 feet) of its top edge - do not fit it to a low garden wall! Similarly, you should choose a location that is at least 0.3 metres (1 foot) from the nearest end of the wall - don't fit it close to an external corner. This is because the expanding bolts exert a significant expansion force on the structure of the wall when the bolts are tightened up and this can cause bricks and mortar joints to split apart. The weight of the wall above the mounting point resists this expansion force.

Remember: The wall needs to be strong! If the wall can be knocked over you have no security!

Please note, also, that none of the Beefy Bridge fitting options are suitable to use on paving slabs or block paving.

Please follow the link for information about the Sub Major Bury-In ground anchor, which can be used in such situations.
