The new shiny thing needs a little more security that the old Fazer did, so have had a ground anchor in a box in the shed for the last 6 years.
Problem is at the new house, I'm a) garage less and b) the drive where the shiny lives is gravel. Now correct me if wrong but raw bolts in gravel don't work too good.
I know the obvious is to dig a big hole and fill it with concrete, but we're probably having the driveway done later in the year and I don't want to a) waste the money and b) (more importantly) have to dig it all out again in 6 months time.
So, the next best option is the 6 foot block wall next to us,
Would that be solid enough? Or would it be worth just using a heavy (circa M12) raw bolt hoop?
