Abstract
Soil anchor has a square drive tube which is driven into the soil. A point crimped onto the drive tube aids in driving and prevents soil entry into the drive tube. When the tube is in place in the soil, two anchor straps are driven down through the tube and past curved guides at the front of the tube on the back of the point which cause the anchor straps to bend to laterally enter the soil for anchoring. A channel-shaped mounting bracket bolted to the top of the drive tube permits the attachment of any device that needs to be anchored and supported; for example, the support post of an aluminum patio roof.
