Two 48" diameter cast iron manhole cover frames or rings, one on top of the other sunk into the bottom. Each one weighs about 400 pounds. I don't get it. First, two 4' diameter manhole covers. Where'd you get them? Second, how'd you move them to site? Third, .5" nylon is trivial compared to the holding power of that anchor. It's silly to use TWO manhole covers and .5" of rode when one cover would hold to the point of the nylon breaking. I'm presuming a sand bottom rather than oyster or limestone. The cover sinks over time like a mushroom. Lastly, if there no buoy, how do you recover the rode? -paul --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
