Earth anchor for anchoring a shed to ground
Sep 20, 2022| Earth anchor for anchoring a shed to ground:
If a larger shed needs support as well as hold-down (requires footings),we can supply the large earth anchor which can replace poured concrete as an easier, faster, equally effective, and less expensive alternative.
For the best holding strength, earth anchors should be installed at a minimum spacing equal to the depth of the anchor, in order to avoid each other’s “cone of soil” — the region of soil that contributes to an anchor’s holding strength. This applies to both cabled anchors and helix anchors.
Garden sheds can often be secured with type B fittings, the anchors are hammered in to a suitable height, then the fitting is bolted and screwed on. The method below illustrates the anchor on the inside, this is only possible if the base is accessible from above of course, if the shed base is integral, the fitting would go on the outside. One advantage of fitting them on the inside is that the anchor is essentially invisible from the outside, this can be useful where there is no permission for a fixed shed.
