Beware that this is likely to be too small to use with any decent chain as it quotes "Eye i/d: 34mm". Beware also that any home-grown solution that doesn't have a formal approval will probably not satisfy the requirements of your insurance. Perhaps there should be another thread: "Ground anchors that work" ? :-)

I went to a local steel merchant and just the fella with a blowtorch to knock me up a ground anchor for peanuts.
Grabbed a thick bar out the scrap bin, I suggested a shape with long bendy bits to sink into the concrete and he quickly made it how I wanted.
Sure its not a high grade of stainless, but it is very thick.
