earth anchor

Soil-gripping tether point

An earth anchor is a device driven or screwed into the ground to provide a secure attachment point.

Earth anchors hold down tents, guy wires, fences, and structures that need stabilization against wind or pulling forces.

They range from simple stakes to helical screws that grip soil like a corkscrew: The crew installed earth anchors to secure the transmission tower.
