Fixing a shed to the ground

Mar 04, 2024 Last reply: 2 years ago 7 Replies

A small wooden shed likely having no floor, in a fairly exposed place will surely get blown away in a gale if not secured. I was going to stand it on an existing old concrete slab where a stable once stood. How to fix it? There is no mains power for maybe 100ft. TW


The sort of ties used to prevent roofs blowing off, but rawlbolted to the concrete?

Doesn't matter about mains being 100ft away, an 18v drill will handle holes for the bolts.

In my case I have both a battery drill and a 100ft cable reel.

Especially if you pre-drill a 5 or 6mm pilot hole.

What else could you do except 'pre' drill a pilot hole! :-)

I think there's currently a plague of excess 'pre' around.

In this case it seems fair - it is the starter hole you drill before you drill the actual hole you want. :-)
