Footprint Layout: (Note: For each structure sold, Anchor provides a specific Footprint Drawing
showing plate locations, diagonals and loading requirements for proper anchoring.
* Strike a straight line for “side 1” of the structure according to desired site orientation.
* Mark 15’ increments along this line and position baseplates (See Footprint Drawing).
* Find an opposite corner by holding the end of one tape at point “1” and another tape at point “2”
and pull straight until the appropriate “width” and “diagonal” measurements for the span you are
installing (see above chart) intersect on the two tapes at point “3”.
* Reverse this procedure to locate the remaining corner on the opposite side of the structure using
points “1-A”, “2-A”, and “3-A”
* Strike a straight line between points “3” and “3-A” representing “side 2”
* Position baseplates in 15’ increments along this side and be sure that opposing baseplates on
opposite sides of the structure are squared toward each other (See Footprint Drawing).
* Drive (2) stakes in diagonal corners of each baseplate. The remaining (2) stakes can be driven
into undisturbed soil after the beams have been erected.
