Review on Explore the Superior Durability and Reliability of the S R Smith AS 100B SS Anchor Stainless by Elder Unogu

These are very strong anchors that will definitely secure your railing to the deck when properly installed. Call your local pool shop and they will probably set you back at least $700-$800 for one Demanding parts and labor.. and two anchors which he stepped in. I wanted these two 4" anchors to dig into my concrete pool deck. He wanted to do it one night after doing a $90 unpaid job. We figured he'd just drill two 2+" holes, insert anchors, and set them in some sort of epoxy (better than concrete, he claimed). WRONG - He looked at these anchors with the big wedge knot sticking out on one side , and decided a drill wouldn't fit. Job He said the best I could do was cut a square hole in the deck - install the anchors, reinforce it with rebar, and B to fill concrete. Buy a large bag of special Quickcrete and supplies. The concrete circular saw has made a huge mess with fine concrete dust everywhere. My pool is screened and it took a few washes with my small electric washing machine and a few rains to clear it all up. matching anchors. This can crack the concrete and I'm not sure how good the anchors are, but I don't know too much about them. A few facts about anchors. There are two holes at the bottom through which water flows. Seal the holes with tape before burying them in the ground. Once in place, poke the holes a few inches below the bottom to allow water to drain. There is a screw on the side of the anchor for attaching the ground wire. I just had my local hardware store cut me two 6 inch lengths of solid copper wire that easily got stuck in the ground when installing the anchors. One last thing about anchors is that if you have a concrete pool, placement is key. My pool walls are at least 18 inches thick. When we cut out the rectangle of the pool deck we will meet the front of the pool wall. I barely had enough room to mount two anchors without cutting out more at the back. A good rule of thumb is to check where the skimmer's opening is. It's right behind the pool wall. still saves a lot of money doing it this way compared to going to the pool shop. $98 rail, $68 anchor, $150 concrete notch, $24 other materials = $340 total installation. If I had to do it all over again, I would probably do it the way I do. IF I had to do it all by myself without a concrete worker, I would just rent a big drill that can drill a 2 1/2 inch hole. I would carefully measure and drill two holes. I would NOT use anchors. The certain guy talked about using and filling the holes about 2/3. Drown a bare rail in it and add epoxy to fill in any gaps. Make sure it's level and let it sit for a few days. The epoxy will also get into the splint and one set should do the job. This would be less labor intensive and cheaper. just thought. I'm glad my work is finished because I used to worry about it until it was finished. Much luck!
