Please note that none of our fitting options are suitable to use on paving slabs or block paving. 

 

These are not suitable substrates for fitting any type of ground anchor. This is partly because the slabs or blocks will often simply lift away, with the anchor attached, if a thief attempts an attack. It can also be because simply trying to drill the holes to fit an anchor will cause the slab to crack into pieces. And if the drilling doesn't caue it to break up, a thief using a sledgehammer will probably have the same result! 

 

Using our anchors with shorter-than-standard bolts will not get around any of these problems. If you need to fit an anchor to an area with paving slabs or block paving, the recommended approach is to lift one or more of them, to dig down, and lay fresh concrete and ideally fit a Torc anchor in the fresh concrete by means of the Concrete-in fitting kit. Or you can lay fresh concrete and leave it to set, and then fit an anchor with resin or other fixings afterwards, following the appropriate fitting instructions.
