Why The C.H. Anchor System is Right for Your Baseball Field
Groundskeepers and facility managers know that installing traditional base anchors is a labor-intensive, time-consuming nightmare. Digging holes, pouring concrete, and waiting for it to cure halts field use. Furthermore, if a concrete-set anchor shifts due to freezing and thawing or is damaged by a field tractor, you have to dig the entire heavy block out and start over. The C.H. Base Anchor System completely eliminates this agonizing process. By utilizing a specially designed driver tool and heavy-duty steel anchors, you can permanently secure base anchors directly into the dirt in just five minutes. This allows for immediate play, effortless repositioning for different age groups, and significant savings on labor and maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What exactly is the C.H. Base Anchor System?
The C.H. Base Anchor System is a patented installation method that allows groundskeepers to drive heavy-duty steel base anchors directly into the dirt using a specialized driver tool. This eliminates the need to dig deep holes, mix concrete, and wait for it to set.
2. Do I need to use concrete to install these anchors?
No. The biggest advantage of the C.H. system is that it requires absolutely zero concrete. The anchors are driven deeply and securely into the compacted dirt, saving hours of labor. If an anchor is accidentally hit by a tractor or shifted by frost, it takes only minutes to reposition it.
3. Are these anchors durable without concrete?
Yes. Made from heavy-duty steel weighing 5 lbs each, C.H. Anchors are incredibly robust. On average, they are designed to last 5 to 10 times longer than traditional anchors, making them a highly cost-effective, long-term investment for any park or school district.
4. What is the C.H. 15/18 Dual Base Anchor used for?
The Dual Base Anchor solves the problem created by the recent transition to larger 18-inch bases in baseball. It provides two anchor points installed simultaneously at first and third base. This allows a facility to seamlessly switch between standard 15-inch bases and the new 18-inch bases depending on which specific league is playing on the field that day.
5. Will these anchors fit the bases I already own?
Yes. C.H. Anchors are manufactured to strict industry standards. We offer 1 1/2-inch models that perfectly fit standard Hollywood-style bases, as well as 1-inch models designed to fit Bolco-style bases.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for field equipment?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and groundskeepers can easily submit a formal PO to purchase starter systems, individual anchors, and base sets for their entire athletic complex.
