Since moving to a residential street with no garage I have been parking my SD outside the house in a small private area in front of the house. Like many UK terraced properties you can just about get the bike through the gate and do a sort of 5 point turn to get in (and about double that to get out backwards again ) But at least it's on my doorstep and convenient for using everyday. I've got two Almax chains and massive locks as well as a disc lock from my days in London but I want to put in a ground anchor so the whole bike is attached to the ground and can't be simply lifted into the back of a van.
In London I bought one of those Y shaped ones which was brilliant but I literally had to hire a pneumatic digger to create the hole big enough to sink the thing into the ground and then a load of cement to fill it up again. But here is rented property and I don't think I can do a hole that big. The surface is concrete but I don't think it's very thick and the surface is crashed and broken up. I could get a cheaper bolt down anchor but I'm worried that a determined thief could just smash up the layer of concrete around the bolts pretty easily.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of an anchor that you bury deep but the hole doesn't have to start of being two feet wide? Obviously I'm searching the net but someone might know the ideal solution.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
