Constructed of high-strength, corrosion resistant galvanized (zinc-aluminum coated) steel or stainless steel, the tendon is a critical piece for long-term performance. The tendon connects the anchor and the top termination. Openings in the termination aid in the establishment of vegetation, obscuring and protecting the hardware. The size of the load bearing cap effects the ability to hold the soil matrix. The top termination grips the ground surface and fabric to secure in place. The size, shape, soil type, soil conditions, and drive depth affect the pullout resistance of the anchor. The anchor is the component driven into the soil that develops resistance to pullout.
