I need a good fairy tail before bed, LOL As I said, ive got an anchor in pipe loop-loc with 3 feet of snow onright now and its holding just fine. Pipes 2 feet into compacted processed gravel. It aint goin' no place. I guess if its not installed correctly.... I just dont want mx702 to think a safety cover on pavers is a bad thing, thats all.

bk, you had an installer who knows their sXXX - stuff! However, do you know that your cover is NOT a true safety cover (I didn't think so  ) I think that we should continue this in this area  As I've said, I truly appreciate your input here, but I think I need to tell you why you're wrong on this one

Yea, i think your all wrong on this one, ted. Sorry, but yea, i dont agree. Show me an ASTM document or UL test data that says otherwise and I'll pay attention.

According to the LoopLoc FAQ, item 19, properly installed anchor in pipe safety covers are acceptable and presumably meet their safety standards. I can see how a safety cover installed on a paver deck could very easily be done wrong, but done correctly it should be just fine.

OK, I stand corrected  I KNOW, I've seen the disclaimer about having 'more than ~5% of the anchors be tubes or 'wood deck anchors' voiding the safety part of the cover. However, I've never installed a "LoopLock" cover... perhaps theirs are more tolerant of the 'lawn tubes' Right or wrong, I'm simply trying to help the folks here with my current knowledge (and I learn more here, almost daily )
