This is a Safety Cover Pipe Anchor measuring 10 inches with threaded brass anchor pre-installed. The 10 inch pipe anchor is perfect for pools with paver decks or other irregular services like loose bricks and patio stones or planter area. In these areas, it is recommended that pipe anchors be used to properly anchor the cover. Pipe anchors extend holding power of a regular screw-type anchor down 9 inches into the solid ground.
Pipe anchors are aluminum tubes with a brass screw-type anchor permanently embedded into one end. Pipe anchors can be installed by pre-drilling a 15/16 to 1 inch hole into the ground and through loose bricks or patio stones when necessary. Place a block of wood over the top of the pipe anchor assembly (or use a rubber mallet) to gently tamp into place.
