ABSTRACT:
A post anchor adaptable to impact insertion into the earthen ground to rigidly support a post extending above ground level. The post anchor is functional without requiring the use of concrete to reinforce the post anchor within the earthen ground. A driveable member and a locking member cooperate to form each post anchor. A post engaging channel cooperates with a plurality of ground engaging fins and a sub-grade surface to provide displacement resistance properties to the post anchor. The resistance properties include the sub-grade surface compacting the earthen ground during and following installation and restricting displacement of earthen ground over the ground engaging fins following installation. A secure attachment, using the locking member, occurs to secure the post to the driveable member following placement of both the post and the driveable member during the installation procedure. The driveable member may be of a one piece construction, as would result from a molding process, or construction of the driveable member may be from a sheet material. When construction of the driveable member is of a sheet material, the sheet material is subjected to a deforming process to render definable unique panels thereon definable from adjacent panels by a linear juncture. Either a single sheet piece or multiple sheet pieces form the driveable member. An installation aid permits easy insertion of the driveable member into the earthen ground. The post anchor permits repositioning of the post relative to the driveable member following installation.
