chain setup dirt packing in

I'm not here to get help "figuring anything out". I'm here because I like bulldogs boy

 

better watch your ass too or I'll come over to my mom's house and snatch that mask off your head :mad:

 

wow...didn't know we had to have everything perfect in our setups and the way we do the dog game to post on here...

new house=new sets of variance and complication

I figured out that I wasn't truly testing the chain out since I pulled some from underground came out, but only about 6 inches and the rest was firmly set in...thanks guys

 

dont trust the swivels that come on those earth a
nchors seen one in the store the other day, and they are cheaply made!!

 

Your right,but i always keep my chain spots raked clean of the lose debris that like to cause the chains to tangle.And i only have the top of the axle exposed on a few of my spots, because they get moved around from time to time,and i dont want to dig them up every time i move them.And my dogs are seldom home alone,and if they are its not for very long.But yes you are right the best way is to have the anchor buried.

 

I have seen dogs grab a chain with their teeth and pull up. I would use concrete if I had loose soil.

 

i hear yah there mine get moved all the time so i like them above ground and rake often, if it starts smelling like urine, i just hose with bleach, if it still smells after that, just move them over, male spots are the worst tho it seems, there should be a neutrolizer for the amonia smell for dogs urine

 

i dont dig at all just hit the axle all the way in to the ground with a sledge hammer no way its going to move at all

 

here's another idea for ya:get an 8-10 ft piece of pipe and drive it 4 ft into the ground with a sledgehammer drop an o ring on it and put a muffler clamp about a foot from the top.i hook my chain set-up to the o ring and the clamp keeps them from jumping the pole.been using this setup for years,never had a problem.

 

Far as this getting wrapped around these earth anchors, I have used this setup for the last couple of years with no problems what so ever but I also bury my earth anchors a foot underground then as I fill in the dirt I keep the chain centered as I fill in. I have never had one break, never had one get wrapped or any problems at all. In terms of being made cheaply I don't quite understand that, because the ones I use are a solid piece except for the bottom of it where the auger is and the welds are clean. I use one similar to this here same company except I use the larger ones.
http://www.shadeusa.com/Earth_anchor_hands.gif I use two quick links on the connection to the earth anchors, I rust them on the old school way and I also use a lap link as well with no swivel at all on the anchor to chain connection only chain to o ring only.

 

gorilla i dont think u read it properly i said i hit the axle all the way into the ground ..meaning the chain is attached to it and then burried by the force of the hammer u cant even see the top of the axle it just looks like the chain is coming out of the ground never had any problems with it

 

A dog in Australia Freezing to death in Winter :rofl:
You obvious dont know Australian climate.More chance of it getting hit by a falling plane

 

hahahaah yeh them planes fly low hahaha how u goin telly

 

Whats up Nathan,whats crack'n?

 

fuk all man we should catch up soon

 

whats the go digging holes ??? this only weakens the ground. i use a sledge hammer to knock the axle in the ground ive had over 40 dogs at one stage with no accidents at all.

 

I use quick dry cement in a bucket.it'll never move...

 

AMEN. Sledge that mofo. Put a nice big O ring on it first though. And be sure to use swivels on the chain at the collar and at the axle.

 

sledging worked really well for me never had a issue

 

i allways sledge them in to the dirt got 22 dogs in my yard and never had a problem you can tie a horse to these and they wont pull out. the only way is straight up.
