This is a couple years later now. How did this turn out? My understanding is that aluminum reacts chemically with alkalis like portland cement, oxidizing the aluminum and turning it to powder. Also, aluminum expands and contracts with temperature at over 1.5x the rate of concrete. Did that split the concrete?
I saw a review of these where someone said he used a 3:1 torque multiplier braced on a tree plus a 750 foot pound impact driver to fully seat it, they are rated for 2100ftlbs of torque. They come with a double loop swaged steel cable, and depending on soil type are rated for 14,000 pounds. I think these are usually installed with a skid steer auger.
Frost & earth anchor ? Can it be a problem? I want to have a "little over kill" with my hunting tower blind . 4 x 6 22 foot poles buired 4 feet below ground level 18 feet out of the ground. 9 feet x 9 feet hunting blind on top of a 12 x 12 base.

Dude I have watched treehouse masters for so long and I had no idea that a channel existed on UA-cam
When I saw it I was like: Pete’s got a channel!
Thanks for tuning in! We just uploaded a new websiode!

The amount of friction on that anchor must be astronomical! Maybe next time predrilling will help, haha
They can always predrill a 2" hole with an auger to help with installation
Yasssssss I want tree house
I did not see a test....
