Abstract
An anchor member, spacers, nuts, anchor kits and methods of utilizing the same are provided. The anchor member has a threaded second end configured for engagement by a nut. In use, a first end of the anchor member is inserted in the ground with the second end extending out of the ground, such as through an aperture in a plate. One or more spacers are located over the anchor member. The nut is threaded onto the second end of the anchor member into engagement with the spacer(s). The threaded length of the second end of the anchor member and the length of the nut are selected to ensure a minimum desired contact distance and, in one embodiment, permit adjustability relative to the spacers.
