Groundhog Anchor Applications

The Groundhog Anchor may be used to provide support or an anchor point for almost anything. Listed below are some of the more common applications.


Additions – Mobile, Modular and Tiny Homes

Groundhog Anchors are a great foundation solution for mobile/modular homes, house additions, tiny homes and job-site trailers.

For these applications, the most appropriate anchor is Model #812 (5000 lb).

For tie-down needs, the structure can be attached directly to the foundation anchors if present, or separate cable tie downs can be used.


Decks – Sunrooms – Gazebos

For most decks, Model #68 (2000 lb) or Model #89 (3000 lb) are appropriate.

For decks where a room or additional walls for structures like pergolas or gazebos may be built on top later we recommend at minimum to use Model #89.

Standard spacing of 6′-8′ feet, with no more than 2′ cantilever from the end of the beams is typical.

Most sunrooms require the Model #812 (5000 lb).

Full engineering for decks and sunrooms is available.


Fences – Gates – Signs

Fences are a perfect application for Groundhog Anchors.

Typically, Model #68 will be applicable.
