13. High Wind Securing
The following high wind anchoring methods are suggestions and
are not inclusive of all possible anchoring methods. The type of
anchoring and the space between tie downs are dictated by local
building codes. All materials used are provided by building installer.
A. Anchor Bolt Through (For Modular Buildings with floors only):
Anchor bolts are located in concrete prior to Modular Building
installation. Anchor bolt locations should avoid floor panel
penetration limits and compression plates should be at least ½”
from interior of vertical panels.
B. Eye Bolt and Hold Down Cable: Anchor bolts are located in
concrete prior to Modular Building installation. Light Structural
Member determined by local building code advisory. Light
Structural Member should be placed as to not trap water.
Precautions should be taken to prevent Light Structural Member
from chafing exterior membrane roof.
C. Earth Anchor and Hold Down Cable: Earth Anchors can be
located after Modular Building installation. Installer should use
Anti-Flutter Padding to keep hold down cable from chafing
exterior roof. Distribution angle should be at least 18" to allow
hold down cable to migrate and allow ample load distribution.
14. Outdoor Considerations
All outdoor installations require some type of weather roof to cover
the top of Modular Building.
A. Aluminum Roofs are available for buildings that have a wall width
of 34' 7" or less. See Instruction Manual IM-276-90.
B. Membrane (polyvinyl sheet) Roofs are available as dictated by
building specifications. See Instructions for Membrane Roof.
C. Ceiling panel exterior joints must be caulked with silicone or
other waterproof sealant after assembly. Floor panels must be
elevated above immediate area of installation. Concrete pads
must have drainage as shown in Bally floor detail on plan view.
Installation must not allow water to seep under Modular Building.
15. Door Canopy
Bally supplies door canopies for outdoor installations. It is
recommended that canopy be installed over door opening to
prevent water damage and icing. Apply caulking to back of canopy
mounting flanges. Form fillet with caulking when canopy is mounted.
Install canopy centered and level over door opening with provided
self-drilling Tekscrews. Canopy height should be high enough to clear
door operation.
16. Wall Standards for Mounting Equipment
Wall post locations are determined by customer equipment
arrangement within Modular building. Please note the
location limits shown. See Figure 10.
A. Position standard against vertical panel with one end
touching ceiling panels. Check standard plumb with 48"
level. Mark hole locations with maker and drill using
3/32" drill. Do not punch holes. Install standard with #8-
½” screws. Install screws in all wall post mounting holes.
B. Temporarily install ceiling bracket with (2) clamps halves,
(1) 3/8" x 1¼" bolt and (1) 3/8" nut at top of standard.
Hold ceiling bracket in against ceiling panels and mark
the (4) mounting holes with marker. Drill 3/32" holes and
install ceiling bracket with (4) #8-½” screws and
previously mentioned clamp. See Figure 11.
