There are several choices for anchoring guy lines, consisting of rope tie downs and ratchet settings up. Each has its advantages and negative aspects.
A typical kind of support is a dead man support, which includes a rod with an eyelet hidden in the ground at the angle of the person. One more type is a plate anchor, which has a steel plate inserted right into an opening filled with concrete or structural epoxy.
