Such a silly requirement. The only thing "not going anywhere" is the floor. Which is already the most secure b/c it probably has equipment on it.

[@kosmokritikos9299]

I would suspect that the shed is anchored to the floor and the floor is anchored to the ground.

[@danielbuckner2167]

"Remove your nuts" is right. This thing wouldnt hold down a doghouse in high wind! Y'all must just have gentle breezes up that way!

TIP: When I worked for U.S. Forest Service as a Fire Camp Boss we always gave the Lead Cable a stiff tug or two to set the Arrowhead before attaching the lead cable to anything. Good Video, Thanks!

[@misfitty-vd6kv]

HE EXPLAINED THE ARROWHEAD ROTATES SLIGHTLY AS IT GOES INTO THE GROUND. YOUR LITTLE TUG IS NOTHING WHEN A WIND KICKS UP.

[@TBI-Firefighter-451]

I have installed 1,000's and the Arrowhead will pull straight out if you don't set them with a stout tug and no they do not rotate when drove in@@misfitty-vd6kv

[@toddswenson]

@@misfitty-vd6kv Tugging or setting the anchor gets a bit of slack out of the line before connecting it to the building. Good practice.

[@NeoStrikevoiceover]

Does this work on plastic or those resin? Types of sheds, or is it just wood

[@robertlozano6546]

How do you get anchor into hard rocky ground???

[@atyt11]

safety tip...Try some gloves while pounding your fingers with the hammer. You may have 10, but you will miss even one. Otherwise, thx for the info...👍

[@JPeeet]

Yes great tip. I smashed the hell out of my thumb with a mini sledge one time and I had a blood blister for months.

[@anniesykes7778]

Thank you for a simple video ! Now if I can get it moved without paying 200 dollars. Had to get a permit and the city wants my shed anchored and moved 10 feet from the neighbors property line

[@danob653]

Isn't that dumb? Same here. I have no idea why you can put a privacy fence on the property line but not the wall of a shed. Even if you already have the fence up. I'm going with an enclosed trailer.

[@stevesolo323]

Dont gave them idea, by theur logic you should also anchored your car​@@danob653

[@campingwithliam2116]

You want to get a much longer pole and use a post hammer for fencing that way you won't hit your hand with a sledgehammer

[@jackgoff6043]

Hits hand not once but twice... Very special.

[@blee9668]

I wanted to tell him to turn the hammer sideways lol, works better for not missing! 😂

[@misfitty-vd6kv]

IM GETTING OLD. WHAT YOU YOUNG GUYS DO TO BUILD OR SECURE MAKES LITTLE SENSE TO ME. I GUESS THOSE LITTLE ARROWS WILL HELP BUT MAN, I DON'T THINK A GOOD WIND WILL HAVE TROUBLE.

[@kosmokritikos9299]

I for one disagree.

[@fireshack]

What is a good solution to anchor a shed on skids to concrete? Just use extra long tapcons through the skids?

[@charlotteriehle2582]

Where can I buy the kit

[@davidkinsaul5651]

This short video is a great help! Thank you for sharing!

[@josephbohme7917]

Ever hear of a cable thimble, ever here of letting someone else properly demonstrate. You accomplished nothing to any code. Are you the owner?

[@rickrodrigues2219]

Ouch...me hand broke!

[@2014-IPO-World-Champ]

The screws that go into the shed are of superior gripping power and are not the weakest link. This the cost of this being 125 dollars

[@stevenfox6652]

Just wanted to point out that you put the collar on the wrong side. It is actually called a saddle. and a saddle always goes on the opposite side of the cable that is going to nothing, the end you are cutting off. When you install cable clamps always remember to never saddle a dead horse. Also if you live in a high wind area, from storms, you should put a second cable clamp on about 3 inches from each other.

[@ldlink3935]

I would also recommend wearing a nice industrial leather glove as a buffer, or just practice your hammering skills to avoid beating the heck out of your hand, prior to installing 0:49 .

[@gbrickcommercialre]

@Steven Fox - Despite your comment being a year old, I hope you see this and reply! You stated that it ' is actually called a saddle. and a saddle always goes on the opposite side of the cable that is going to nothing, the end you are cutting off." Since it's just a single cable that you form a loop with, how could he have got it on any other way? NOT being snarky, I would like to know since this might be useful. Thank you, if you can let me know. :-)

[@intheweeds]

Never saddle a dead horse!

[@TheIancross]

@0:55 Someone else finished driving that thing.

[@davidkidd2961]

Website says you're out of stock. Any idea what the wind rating is on those?

[@josephbohme7917]

Another example of not knowing anything but still doing a youtube video. Where do they get these people

[@shelly2433]

Where's your shed anchoring video then? If you're going to critique, at least educate the rest of us here to learn.

[@wunstop6026]

“Remove your nuts” sheesh bro lol

[@coltroan8216]

How long is the tail?

[@robertmckinnie5473]

I hope I can do this without hitting my ✋ though or do I have to.

[@no_handle_required]

That little thin metal bracket is gonna hold up to real wind?

[@katrinavillegas3683]

Where can we purchase this kit or an anchor system like this?

[@muhammad8970]

Tractor supply

[@aaronowens6765]

I would suggest installing the hardware first then tap down the anchor so that it’s tight. Might be ideal.

[@kittywilhite9583]

Give a hard tug on the cable after it's in the ground and before you put it through the O-ring. If you attach the hardware first, you won't be able to take up that slack.

[@aaronowens6765]

@@kittywilhite9583 seems to me you would be able to take up the slack as you hammer it down in the ground. Once you put all the hardware on, I guess you could still tamp it down

[@aaronowens6765]

With it being so loose, it seems like it would just bounce around in the wind

[@jayvlugt3309]

What kind of winds do you have to hold a building down??

[@benstoltzfus8510]

It depends on how big the shed is and what is stored inside. Also the location; does the wind have a run at it or are there wind barriers around it.

[@douglasrush5197]

is it supposed to be that lose?

[@benstoltzfus8510]

The cable does not have to be very tight.

[@1999JAMES.]

Lets have a better look at the arrowhead anchor.

Do you recommend tethering from the roof so the roof doesn’t blow off?
