Anchor piles are typically designed to resist both horizontal and vertical loads. The axial holding capacity of the anchor pile is due to the friction along the pile-soil interface, while the lateral capacity of the pile is generated by lateral soil resistance, where the anchor's orientation is critical to optimising this resistance.
Holding ground is the area of sea floor that holds an anchor, and thus the attached ship or boat. [4] Different types of anchor are designed to hold in different types of holding ground.

Suction caissons (also referred to as suction anchors, suction piles or suction buckets) are a form of fixed platform anchor in the form of an open bottomed tube embedded in the sediment and sealed at the top while in use so that lifting forces generate a pressure differential that holds the caisson down.
Single helix earth anchors Guyed mast anchor. An earth anchor is a device designed to support structures, most commonly used in geotechnical and construction applications. Also known as a ground anchor, percussion driven earth anchor or mechanical anchor, it may be impact driven into the ground or run in spirally, depending on its design and intended force-resistance characteristics.
Nowadays, many successful hunters utilize ground blinds and sit with a spread of decoys in a food plot, or staging area. The whole setup can be packed on an ATV, replete with its own camo-cover.
The line allows the anchor to be unhooked from an obstruction, such as a rock or another vessel's anchor cable, so preventing raising the anchor in the normal way. [13] anchor chain .
