Securing the building

When the building is not being towed (when it is stationary), it should be secured to the ground using the skid 

pins and auger anchors that are supplied with the building. The table below shows how many skid pins and 

anchors should be fitted for each of the building sizes.

Building Length

 

16.4m

8.2m

Skid Pin No.

Auger Anchor No.

To insert the skid pins, pass the pins through the holes in the skids and hammer them into the ground. The 

holes in the skids pass through at an angle so that the pins can be safely hammered clear of the building. 

To install the auger anchors, insert the tip of the anchor through the ring on the auger bracket and wind the 

anchor into the ground using a metal bar (passed through the box section on top of the anchor). Wind the 

anchor down until the cross bar makes contact with the auger bracket. A detailed illustration of how to install 

skid pins and auger anchors can be found on page 10 of this manual.
