Troubleshooting
Anchor is difficult to drive into the ground
Ensure the ground is sufficiently soft. If the ground is very hard or rocky, consider pre-drilling a pilot hole or using a heavier driving tool. Ensure the V-shaped bottom is facing the correct direction for penetration.
Fence post does not fit securely
Verify that the fence post is indeed 3.5 inches (89 mm) in diameter. Ensure the anchor is fully driven into the ground. Tighten the provided screws and sockets firmly to secure the post.
Anchor appears to be rusting
The powder coating provides protection; however, deep scratches can expose the steel. Minor surface rust on exposed screw heads can be treated with rust-inhibiting spray. Significant rust may indicate damage to the protective coating.
Anchor does not seem stable
Ensure the anchor is driven deep enough into the ground. Check that the surrounding soil is compacted. Re-tighten the screws connecting the timber to the anchor.
