I am building a fence where I primarily use ground anchors, specifically this one from Jula https://www.jula.se/catalog/bygg-och-farg/beslag/byggbeslag/jordankare/jordankare-019051/
Now to the problem, my dear brother cut all the beams equally long and didn't consider that there is a significant level difference along the hedge, which makes me now try to adjust the beams in height with each other by not embedding the ground anchors all the way.
As I see it, I have two options: either buy and cut new longer beams so the ground anchors can be properly fixed in the ground or continue with how it is and let them stick up a bit. It's not very crucial for the fence to be extremely strong as this part is protected against wind and other factors that could strain the fence.
What would you have done in my case?

I would probably bite the bullet and buy new posts. If there are many and it becomes too expensive, I would extend the post at the top, possibly with some spikplåt if needed.
Suspected that, it's probably best so I don't get annoyed by it all the time and the fence actually becomes stable.wildeside said:
Hmm might be why they're called ground anchors because they're supposed to be pulled into the ground😉
I personally put up 40 meters of fencing with those ground anchors 4-5 years ago and the fence became stable and is still standing at least.
If you're going to have a top rail on the post, you can drive a couple of screws from above if the joint piece isn't too long, makes it more stable.

Haha yes, exactly, I was hoping that having 70% in the ground would be enough but I'll have to go and buy some posts tomorrow and start cutting 🫡 I'm not going to have a top rail but thanks for the tip.
