My neighbour is converting their garage into living space. The workmen showed up this morning. They said sorry in advance for the drilling over next couple of weeks as they need to dig down a fair bit. On the spur of the moment I asked them if they'd fit a couple of ground anchors for me, and they seemed amenable to the idea... I have done no research on the topic, just something I had thought about doing and that chat has kicked me into action. It would give me some peace of mind, but I'm wondering about three things, grateful for any quick thoughts:
1. Installation: I think I need them to drill out a space and concrete them in? I'd want them in the ground, as close to the garage wall as possible - are there any restrictions on where they should go, aside from clearance for a good chain?
2. Does it makes any difference to insurance?
3. Obviously I'd get decently rated ones, e.g. sold secure but anything else to consider?
Cheers
