Installation of Earth Augers
Using one base flange as a panel, mark the Earth Auger
location hole through the base flange by pushing the
Auger point through the base flange hole in place. This
will leave on impression in the ground when the base
flange is removed. The auger tip should be started into
the ground where the depression under the hole was
made.
After the hole is marked, move the base flange to one
side to expose the impression for the Auger. Using the
specially designed Earth Auger Wrench (40), turn the
earth auger into ground. Leave sufficient shaft above
the ground to allow for the base flange thickness and
adequate thread to be exposed for the washer and nut to
be tightened over the base flange.
Replace the base flange into place, with the threaded
shaft of the auger sticking through the base hole. Re-
check the dimension from the corner or adjacent base
flange before tightening. Tighten the nut and your
assembly will be securely fastened to the ground.
Follow the above procedures for each subsequent Base
Flanges of the assembly. It is suggested that you begin
with the four corner anchors to be used as reference
points to the next base flange. Alignment and
dimensions should be checked continually as Base
Flanges are secured.
Installations of Earth Anchors
Each MDM Products 40x30x15 building comes with 18
EARTH CABLE ANCHORS (21) with U-bolts and nuts
(22). 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 (23) used to drive
the anchor heads into the earth.
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.
Anchors secure the building to the ground to prevent
spread of the frame over time.
EARTH ANCHOR STEP 1
Step 1. Place the drive rod provided into the cup of the
anchor. Using a heavy hammer drive the anchor into the
soil until 6-8 inches of cable remains above the earth.
Remove drive rod.
