Alternative Ground Anchors for Your Pig Brig Trap System
Not all ground conditions are the same, and sometimes, you need an alternative way to anchor your trap. Whether you're dealing with loose, muddy soil or need an anchor system that’s easy to remove, we've got options for you. Here’s a breakdown of reliable alternative ground anchors that will keep your Pig Brig trap secure and working effectively.
Why Use an Alternative Ground Anchor?
-
Unstable Soil: If you're trapping in highly organic or loose soil, like a river bottom, standard anchors may not hold as well.
-
Future Land Use: Need to easily remove the hardware later? These options let you secure your trap without leaving anything behind.
T-Post Anchor
A six-foot T-post driven at a 45-degree angle, three feet from the base of the supporting T-post, with 36 inches exposed. Instead of hooking the cam strap directly to the T-post, run the strap back through the eye and loop it over the top of the T-post. Cinch it tight for a secure hold.
Angle Iron Anchor
Drive a 48-inch piece of angle iron into the ground at a 45-degree angle, about 40 inches deep and four feet from the base of the supporting T-post. Hook the cam strap into the chainlink and tighten it down.
Rebar Anchor
Take a 48-inch piece of rebar, weld a large nut to the top, and add a washer as a cap. Drive it into the ground at a 45-degree angle, about 48 inches from the base of the supporting T-post, leaving about three inches exposed. Hook the cam strap under the washer and cinch it down.
Screw-Type Anchor
A simple and effective option, this anchor has a 3-4 inch auger disk and screws into the ground about 18 inches deep.
