Concrete Anchor Foundation
75”

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)
