INSTALLATION OF BASE PLATES
Using one Base Plate as a panel, mark the Earth Auger
hole through the Base Plate by pushing the Auger point
through the Base Plate hole in place. This will leave on
impression in the ground when the Base Plate is
removed. The auger tip should be started into the
ground where the depression under the hole was made.

with the four corner anchors to be used as reference

INSTALLATION OF EARTH ANCHORS
twenty two (22) EARTH CABLE ANCHORS (Part #25)
with U-bolts and nuts (Part #26). These versatile
anchors allow the frame to be secured to almost any
surface. In addition you have also been provided with a
36” Drive Rod (Part #27) used to drive the anchor heads
into the earth.
If the location where you are placing the building has
very hard ground or any rock in it, pre-drill the holes
before inserting anchors. Hammer drills can be rented
at most home improvement or rent-all centers. Hitting
the anchors into rock will cause the drive rod end to
mushroom inside the anchor head, and prevent the drive
rod from coming out of the hole.
Anchor placement should be made inside the frame.
Anchors secure the building to the ground to prevent
spread of the frame over time.
