how high off the ground should the anchor position be?

Ideally You will want them 6-12" off of the ground, but if you do not have a wall anchor, that is ok too. I have them mounted on the ground. I laced them through kettle bells so they are on the ground level. They are still affective.

I don't even use a anchor. I purchased some thin rope at tractor supply...tied it around a tree...made a loop big enough for my battle rope. Spent 5 $

Mine are anchored less than 12" from the ground and that works great for me.

The higher the height that you mount the top strap, the less flexibility you wIll have in extending the straps. The highest I have seen it mounted in our fire stations is about 7' or 7'6". At that height the straps should extend almost to the floor. That way you can still suspend your feet for the exercises.

I have a 28ft tritoon I/O that wights about 6,000lbs empty. My digger holds in stiff wind. Make sure you are following the directions. Specifically, be sure to let out 2.5 times the depth in rope. This give the anchor a chance to dig at the correct angle. The angle of your anchor line is probably too steep.

If ground is three feet above the playing surface and you want to be able to lower it down to 7.5 feet you will need to dig down the extra three feet to get the anchor level to the playing surface. And your first three feet of pole will be buried. If you need more help feel free to call me 317-773-3534.

I would say that depends. This anchor will suffice on a rocky bottom, but may not set on certain bottom types and a 24 ft boat could pull this off. My boat is also 24 ft, and I find using two anchors generally works best - one hook anchor and one river anchor. I have them tied together in a "V" with about 4 ft. of chain, then tied to my anchor line. They kind of fight each other and ensure that my anchors are always set. Even two of these would work, but on sandy bottoms they just won't set (which is why I use a river anchor as my second).

A good 5 inches and its best to either wet the ground as you turn the anchors or after it rains. These complied with our insurance carrier to meet their requirements for homeowners insurance.

Sorry, I can't help you. I live in Florida. I had some galvanized anchors that rusted out and left my posts adrift. With these I was able to stabilize everything again. Worked good for my purposes. I sold the house with no questions asked.

Probably not - At least not safely - Bottom hooks start about 3/4 up from total height as I recall

No Anchor, the instructions call for a 4x4x8 pressure treated post cemented in the ground. this piece slides over the post and secures to it. I'm sure you could work something over an existing post too.

Really need to setup on even ground ( not adjustable except for elevation )

Tammy,Yes it will work, however it works even better when anchored. Best Regards,David H

I have a 15' jon boat and the 8 lb anchor worked fine for me. Of coarse if the winds exceed 30 mph then you may want to head back to shore! LOL!

I would anchor... It's heavy but not heavy enough for 40mph winds or greater...

I drilled holes one to two inches larger than the anchors and poured cement and let set . Make sure holes are aligned perfectly and exactly the right distance from post to post and level.

You can anchor it to anything but I don't think the posts are suitable for anchoring in the ground. They are too short and hollow. I think in time they would settle and then lower your roof. Mixing the concrete for the footing was probably the easiest part of the whole thing. Don't know why you'd skip it.

I have not used the anchor yet but when I had a tower 200 gym it's best to use the outside of the door to cut down on the pressure, it should be straightforward. I went here to find out how to use the fat tester - http://www.muscleandstrength.com/tools/how-to-measure-bodyfat-using-calipers.html

Depending on your set up you can manipulate the height of the standoffish by lowering installing it lower. You can raise it as few as a few inches above the ground. Still that sounds tight
