Concrete Anchor Foundation

Concrete Anchor
Locations

1. This foundation will be assembled out of 4 x 4 treated lumber, hardware, and prefabricated concrete anchors (none provided).
2. Assemble the 4 x 4 pieces in the dimensions shown in the diagram below. The wood will need to be trimmed to fit. Make certain that the assembly is square and level. The diagonal dimensions, from outside corner to outside corner, should be 1233/4″ each.
3. Securely assemble the frame together using proper hardware.
4. Dig a hole for each of the concrete anchors in the positions shown. The hole should be slightly oversized and should be deep enough so that the frame will rest almost on the ground when installed.
5. Carefully place the anchors in the holes, and place the frame on the anchors. Use a level on the frame to make sure that the anchors are sunk to the proper depth. If any anchors need to be raised, partially fill the hole under the anchor with sand or gravel.
6. Once the frame is level, secure it to the anchors. Fill up the holes the rest of the way with the earth you removed previously.
7. Optional: For convenience you may fill the frame at this point with a proper fill material, such as gravel (not included).
8. There are four Floor Plates to position on the foundation; the Front Floor Plate (17), the Rear Floor Plate (16), and two Side Floor Plates (34).
(See Figure G on page 8.)

NOTE: Position the four Floor Plates (16, 17, 34) with their outer edges overhanging the outer edges of the frame, as shown below. Do not secure
the Floor Plates to the Frame at this time.
