Helical Anchors - Should you use them? Helix helical-style anchors offers moderate holding strength in average soils. Each Helix comes as a one-piece unit with eye ring for installation and tie-off. Rod - 1045 steelDisk - 1030 steelSurface - Black enamel paintHelical anchors are considered "old-school" by today's standards. The design of newer Penetrator and cabled anchors offer numerous advantages. The Helix is the only ground anchor that we do not manufacture.
