- 1). Mark the site for the ground anchor with chalk or spray paint.
- 2). Stand the ground anchor on the marked spot, with the sharp tip facing downward.
- 3). Snap the ground anchor installation wrench onto the shaft of the screw. This is a large bar that sits perpendicular to the anchor and can be used to gain leverage to turn it.
- 4). Turn the installation wrench until the top of the anchor is at ground level. This requires two people to push on either side of the long wrench bar.
- 5). Remove the wrench. Fit the stabilizer plate over the protruding top of the anchor.
- 6). Hammer the stabilizer plate into the ground. This prevents the top of the anchor from shifting sideways.
- 7). Slide a fastener head over the threaded rod rising from the top of the ground anchor. Beams can then be attached to the head and held to the ground.
