Making Concrete Bucket Anchors

After we had our carport go flying through the yard, I started looking for anchoring solutions. This setup seems to be the easiest and best way to anchor something without permanently placing the structure in the ground. Unfortunately the rebar setup didn't work, but if I had a better torch I would have continued with that route and then roped it down.

Creative idea!!

Why didn't you cut the rebar and then weld ya a triangle eyelet? Flux core is a decent process for things like this.

Didnt think about a triangle eyelet.

Thank you for the lesson on making concrete anchors. Very useful information I am sure to use. I’m grateful. Do you have a Go Fund Me? You deserve reward! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥳

Would this technique work for piers/footers? In colder regions could frost heave be an issue?

[@ASliceofWoodWorkshop]

Almost the same concept, but i would mix it before putting it into a footer form

So, I can just add water to the quickcrete without stirring? For this type of bucket project?

I found on another project that if you poke around the quick retention and let's the water mix better. I've had these buckets though for over a year now with no issues
