Abstract
A ground anchor for use in securing a desired object adjacent the ground is described. The ground anchor consists of a one-piece unitary molded plastic body member having a reinforcing rod extending through a mid portion thereof. The ground anchor includes an annular shoulder surface to which a driving force is translated. A cable or other tie member links an embedded ground anchor to the desired object. The anchor is configured so that tension on the cable tends to rotate the anchor within the ground to increase the resistance against pulling out of the ground.
