ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to the use of 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. The driveable member must be formed from at least one piece 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. A post engaging channel cooperates with a plurality of ground engaging fins to provide displacement resistance properties to the post anchor. 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. Either a single sheet piece or multiple sheet pieces form the driveable member. The post anchor permits repositioning of the post relative to the driveable member following installation. A sub-grade surface may be incorporated into the post anchor above the ground engaging fins, while permitting passage of the post engaging channel therethrough, to enhance the function of the post anchor.
