Each Rhino Shelter 12x12x8 building comes with 4
EARTH CABLE ANCHORS with U-bolts and nuts.
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 used to drive the anchor
heads into the earth.
Pre-Drill Holes if there is Any Rock In Ground
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 at
the interior corners of the unit, and midway along the
sides of the frames. Anchors secure the building to the
ground, as well as prevent spread of the frame over
time.
