ABSTRACT:
A guard assembly for a guy-wire connected to a ground anchor rod. The assembly includes at least one elongate generally tubular body of weather-and-impact-resistant, generally rigid plastic, having a 180.degree. arcuate portion and at each end thereof a straight extension portion, the extension portions being generally parallel to each other. Preferably, two such bodies are assembled together with the extension portions of one body touching and overlapping those of the other. The overlapping extension portions are diametrically opposite each other, and the two arcuate portions are diametrically opposite each other. This assembly encloses the guy-wire and/or its ground anchor rod, preferably from about ground level to a height well thereabove. Bolts extend diametrically across this assembly to hold it together, preferably from one pair of overlapping portions to the other or across the centers of the arcs. Each bolt preferably has a vandal-resistant nut threaded on it. At least one guard body has at least one circumferentially aligned pair of fastener openings through its arcuate portion and a fastener combination for each pair of fastener openings. A bolt member has a head outside the guard assembly and a shank extending inwardly through one fastener opening to a nut at its inner end. A locking washer member has a flat portion with an oval opening therethrough and its main axis oriented longitudinal of the flat portion. The bolt member passes through the oval opening between its head and its nut, and an end tab of the locking washer member extends approximately perpendicularly from one end of the flat portion to a hooked outer end extending through the other fastener opening and engages the outer wall of the adjacent guard body.
