I am putting my shed onto concrete so please tell me what kind of bolts I need to attach it to concrete or even if this is necessary.

I went completely against the installation instructions and just carved out & leveled off a dirt patch in the back yard. The shed is really easy to assemble. As long as the foundation is level & solid I figured there would be enough weight of the stuff in the shed to hold it down. I'm in eastern Washington and we have gone through some crazy summer storms (heavy rains / wind) -- no issues. Great little shed for my needs.

The shed has a molded plastic floor with pre-drilled holes for anchoring the shed to a sub-floor with screws. A crushed stone foundation would be good for drainage, but you will still need some sort of ground anchors to hold the shed in place.

I poured a concrete floor first so shouldn't be any problem. You can add anything you want to the shed but you have to supply your own connectors. Lowes or home depot have pieces to use to connect any extra lumber to the shed.

I don't recall if any concrete anchor bolts were provided...though I'm sure you can e-mail the seller for an answer. But, even if you have to pick a few up at a hardware store, I think the bar would do very well in that application.

Hi Howie No Bolts not included in kit,But you should be able to use old bolts unless they are very rusted

I believe that the back and sides can be pre-assembled,attached to the floor panel and lifted/slid into place. The bolts are all installed from the inside of the shed panels. You may be able to download the BMS6550 Shed-Sierra Assembly Instructions from Suncast to see if this shed will work for your space.

I used the bolts provided with these climbing holds on 3/4" plywood that we drilled and place T-nuts on. Worked great.I have not used the bolts on concrete. However, I would think if you drilled a test hole into the concrete and inserted a concrete wedge anchor that it would hold the bolt properly. You would just have to find the right size drill bit and the appropriate concrete wedge anchors that you could pick up at your local hardware. The retaining wall sounds like it would be great. Good luck.

This item is part of a organizing solution called Rubbermaid FastTrack Garage Organization System. You would have to anchor the FastTrack rails into your concrete. http://www.rubbermaid.com/Category/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?CatName=GarageOrganization&SubcatId;=FastTrackGarageOrganizationSystem&Prod;_ID=RP091559

Yes. You will need about 8 bags of concrete into which you set the bolts. Bolts are mounted to a spacer plate that makes it easy to to achieve proper spacing and level.

Yes, there are plates with 4 bolt holes that you could use to anchor to concrete.

It is necessary to install a plywood/OSB base as the floor of the shed in the fabrication of the unit. However, you need to have a base to have the shed sit on and, if that is made out of wood, it could deteroriate rapidly and need to be replaced often. I poured a small area concrete and my shed frame sits on the concrete. Inside the shed, the flooring is plywood over a metal floor frame.

yes, You need a carbide tipped drill bit to drill into the concrete, there are concrete screws which hold in the hole, check your local hardware.

I built a wood platform and screwed it to the platform. I would not use this shed without building a platform or using a concrete slab.

No concrete isn't necessary, especially if you think you might want to move it anytime. It has pretty long spikes that hold it in the ground. Mine has been in for a few months and so far so good, but I did move it once, so spikes better than concrete for that

Using concrete anchors from a hardware store you can anchor this to concrete without any issue. I did this with mine and worked perfectly. It comes with cable tie downs so use an anchor with eyelet bolts and your golden.

i would suggest get appropriate size concrete anchor screw if you want to mount on concrete floors.take the bottom plate off and take it to hard ware store to match it with the largest size anchor bolts you can get.
