Nota adicional1
This type of anchor is generally fabricated on site from available materials using, for example, car or truck wheels complete with tires, heavy timbers or railroad ties. Usually a hole is excavated, and the anchor materials are buried after being attached to cables. The hole is then backfilled with the cables forming an angle of approximately 30 degrees between the anchor and the ground. Caution must be taken when using this type of anchor, and experience is required to ensure adequate holding capacity.
