2. Dig hole 48" deep and 24" square. Be sure to bell out the bottom of the
hole to give added stability to the footing.
NOTE: If you live in an area where the frost
line is below 48" it is advisable to dig to
normal frost line. Do not cheat on the hole
size, it is imperative that the hole be a
minimum of 48" deep and 24" square!
3. Assemble the anchor kit as shown in figure B. First thread a 16mm J-Bolt

Hex Nut (L) 2 ½” of the way on to each 16mm Anchor J-Bolt (K). Place the
threaded end of each 16mm Anchor J-Bolt (K) through the 4 holes located
in the Anchor Footing Template (N). Then thread a second 16mm J-Bolt
Hex Nut (L) on to each 16mm Anchor J-Bolt (K) until tight against the
Anchor Footing Template (N), making sure to keep the 16mm Anchor
Bolt (K) hooks pointing in toward the center of the Anchor Footing
Template (N).
4. For this step yo
24" anchor footing will require a little over a 1/2 yard of 3000 psi concrete
(32-34 60 pound sacks of premix concrete). More will be needed if you dig
a larger hole.
NOTE: Make certain that you have enough
concrete to finish the job. Allowing a
portion to dry while you purchase more
concrete will weaken the footing.
