[Closed] Bike anchors that you set into concrete - where do I get some?

I'm having a new, reinforced "shed" built with a concrete floor, so now's a good time to put some decent anchors in. Tried the usual DIY shops today, plus a motorbike accessories place, but only found the bolt down type floor anchors (more expensive and not so secure).

Anyone know who does the type I'm after, preferably in Bristol?

cheers

I found this site to be cheapest after taking into account postage costs...

Setting it in is the only way, do not even entertain the idea of drilling a hole for it.

sorted, got 2 that set in concrete for £25 total, no thieving fekker's cutting through those.

Next question, what's the best chain I can get.....? Some sort of boron steel affair I guess.

Get a plastic covered chain as the plastic melts & gums up the saw blade or cutting disc to slow down the thief & also gives off nasty choking smoke!

nice one snaps.

dmjb4 - from a guy in Fishponds who told me he designed the Oxford Terraforce anchors, and used to make them before the whole thing got transferred off shore. I was about to spend over £80 in Fowlers on a pair.

He's offered some good deals on chains and padlocks too. Should I be suspicious!?
