How do you measure anchor size?
It is recommended that you use a scope of 7:1, meaning that for every foot of water depth, you should use 7 feet of rode. For example, to anchor in 10 feet of water, you would pay out 70 feet of line. Measure the scope as the ratio of the length of the anchor rode to the height of the bow above the bottom.
While sizing requirements vary according to local code, 1/2 inch diameter, embedded at least 7 inches, is usually the minimum. If your local regulations call for bolts to embed at least 7 inches below the foundation’s top surface, you’ll need an 8- to 12-inch-long bolt to allow for protrusion above the foundation.

What are expansion anchors used for?
Expansion anchors are fasteners designed for use in masonry base material that provides holding power through expansion. There are two kinds of expansion anchors; pre-expanded and unexpanded. The pre-expanded expansion anchor is inserted in a predrilled hole compress and then exerts force to create the holding power.
Wedge anchors are typically the strongest anchors, but not every application requires a heavy-duty anchor. Some will do just fine with a plastic wall anchor or a nail-in version.
How deep should anchor bolts be in concrete?
Steps to Installing Concrete Fasteners
