What diameter and depth concrete base would you use to anchor the bolts in? What's the size and length of anchor bolts and spacing in the base?

I used12 inch spicks driven into the ground this works out very good if you want to mve the post it is very easy

Okay, there are two ways to go about this, the lamp post comes with anchor screws. I dug a hole about 10 inches by twice the diameter of the actual base, used high strength Quickcrete and just embedded the screws with the base into the concrete (you have let the cement "kick" a little before you attempt this as it'll sink if you go a little crazy with the water while mixing) You have to make sure you're level with the base as well because you don't want a "leaning tower of Pisa" which is why you have to let it set-up a little before you shove the bolts into the wet cement and GENTLY tip the base level (you need a level) and let it set-up overnight before you assemble the rest of the post...keep in mind I'm a mason by trade so I got the mix down to a science (after setting up 6 of these for various neighbors as well as my own three). A buddy of mine came up with a better plan, though. He dug a hole big enough for a cement block, buried it on it's side, put some Quickcrete around it to make sure it was stable (and level) and just drilled into the block to set his base (after he let it set-up overnight). Pretty smart and it works just fine. We've had a couple of real gusty wind/rain storms and his set-up is still standing nice and straight (like mine). Good Luck!

Unfortunately I don't know what anchors would be required for a concrete board wall. Sorry I couldn't help

they probably do not supply such an anchor because they only are supplying parts for the stuff they sell e.g. mail box post, address sign post which only require a 4x4. If what you want to build requires a 6x6 its probably recommended to set them in concrete and bolt it down with a ground anchor instead of using something like this.

I measured the base, and it is 5.5" by 5.5" square. There are two screw holes in the opposite corners, so you should not have any problems mounting this on a 6" square post. I had to drill 12 holes in six concrete pillars to mount my units. It took 15 to 20 minutes to drill each hole. I was a tired puppy at the end of the day.

3/4 to 1 inch x1/4 lag bolt if it is to move on a flat surface. Otherwise I would bolt it in throuhg the base supports. Almost all of the force will be in a downward direction holding the caster in place with minimal side force. Also you are stretching the max limits of the caster @ 700+ lbs..

A concrete base will work fine I put down 2 inches of sand which was real easy they don't shift at all and are solid

It was easy. I have a concrete floor and used a hammer drill with a 1/2" concrete bit and 3/8" drop in anchors. It took about 15 minuts and I love using it.

Hi! I own these, but I installed with hollow wall anchors into drywall. I feel you in regards to plastic inserts into concrete, NOT the way to go ! Get wedge type anchors from Menards, Home Depot, LOWE'S, etc. if memory serves correctly, the mounting holes are only about 5/16, so 4 small concrete anchors would be more than enough to hold up a speaker. The anchors won't need to be more than 1.5 inches long. Hope this helps! Loni S Howard Howard Productions, LLC

Greg, I checked with Malone they recommend the following: "Technical &lt;technical@maloneautoracks.com&gt; Hi Brian, Thank you for inquiring about Malone Auto Racks. For attaching the J-Dock to a Concrete wall I would use a specific concrete bolt like a 'TapCon'. If you have predrilled holes already I would add an Expanding Anchor. If tapping a cinder-block style wall you may want a Hollow Wall Anchor instead. I've attached a few pix for your review. I hope this helps and please feel free to contact me with any other questions you may have.

We have did anchor ours. Whether you need to depends on what you are going to be storing. Heavy boxes obviously go on the bottom and lighter on top but there will be some play in the unit. If you have children who may try to use it as a jungle gym or pull on it, I would suggest anchoring. You can get screws designed for concrete use at any hardware store. We have 3 of these units, two large and the smaller for banker boxes. Love them.

I recommend attaching it as standing on it with one foot and scraping the other does not work well. The legs/base has pre-drilled holes (covered by rubber in picture). I drilled anchors into concrete to hold it from moving. I believe I used 3/8" bolts but instructions will say for sure.

This is made to meet a 4x with a flat wood or cement surface. The bottom has a stopper. I would replace with a PT 4x and anchor with cement.

It comes with anchor bolts for concrete walls, but for stick frames I would use lag bolts. It wants to dig into the drywall on a regular wall so I plan to build a frame with a couple 4x4's and have it right up against the wall.

Probably 2 1/2 to 3 feet length and width and depth is about 8 to 10 inches. You have to put on the feet with bolt that are provided.

Yes. I used 4 concrete anchor bolts on my patio and it has worked great for 2 years now

I don't recall any instructions. Now when you buy this on amazon and it shows the "Frequently Bought Together" it shows the handrail, escutcheons and anchors. Please note, these anchors are the type that are installed when the concrete is poured. They do not install to existing concrete. For installing on existing concrete look at the Saftron 6" Base.Most standard escutcheons for 1.9" OD will work but if you use the Saftron Anchor Base, you will not need escutcheons.

I'd recommend using a hilt I wedge anchor for concrete or brick applications. For wood use a lag bolt.
