Hammer
Wrench 9/16”

Recommended Base Materials:
For freestanding units, nearly any level surface is acceptable and no anchoring is necessary. For anchored units a concrete base is best.

Installation:
3/8” anchors are shipped with the rack. Be sure nothing is underneath the base material that could be damaged by drilling. Place the rack in the desired location. Use a marker or pencil to outline the holes of the flange onto the base material. Drill the holes in accordance with the specifications shipped with the anchors. Make sure the holes are at least 6” away from any cracks in the base material. The anchors are fairly long because they run 1.5” through the foot channel and 2.5” into the ground. Tap in anchors and follow your specific anchor instructions provided with the rack.

Tamper Resistant Fasteners
The concrete spike is a permanent anchor. The top of the wedge anchor can also be pounded sideways after installation so that it cannot be removed. Other tamper resistant fasteners are also available for purchase. When using the special tamper resistant nuts, always set and first tighten the anchors. Once the rack is installed, replace two nuts from the bracket (opposite sides from each other) with the tamper resistant fastener. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the tamper resistant nut.
