I'm not talking about digging anything up. I mean create a block of solid concrete in a big bucket/tub and fit an anchor into that. Floor remains intact.

Hard to recommend mine, it's not been put to the test.

Abus, btw. Had a Kryptonite in the past.

Hardie Large ground anchor?

When we moved my BIL had a right Biatch of a job to remove it and it's not damaged, unlike the floor 🙂 🙂

Abus here, dunno what model. I tried to saw it & file it but no go so it would be an angle grinder job. Plus there's 3 bikes in the way before you can get to it. The chain is one that Ripon Engineering said was the best they had & the lock is a big fat Kasp. Easy enough to pinch with a grinder through the chain I suppose, as most would be. If they want it, they'll take it.

Another +1 for the Pragmasis. I have one in my garage along with their 13mm chain. Relatively easy to fit using resin bonded bolts.

Thanks again chaps. Good reminder about pragmasis - I had a monster chain off them a few years back.
