Thank you for your comments.<br>

If pull-out is the reason for discarding the Duckbill anchoring method, I wonder if a larger model would<br>
overcome that. The largest Duckbill model is about 12 inches long. A second line of “duckbills”, also by Foresight<br>
Products, is called Manta Ray, and is made for increased resistance, installed with hydraulic jackhammer. There<br>
are also options for stoney soils (ductile iron, hot-dipped in zinc, rather than the standard aluminum). However,<br>
searches of company websites, and telephone contacts, have been short on pertinent,applicable value in my recent<br>
efforts.<br>
<br>
The thought of trying to put auger-type anchors in my stony land does not appeal to me, and driving<br>
posts has never attracted me either. Channel iron does seem worth trying, but I am hoping to find something<br>
I could get really excited about.<br>
