how do you anchor this shed on wooden base?

WE did not have to anchor it since after we put all our garden tools and equipment, it stabilized. Plus once put together it is really heavy unless you are expecting a tornado that even a truck can be toppled over.

I used 2 1/4" flat head screws (with washers) and drilled them through the plastic floor into the wood base.

We didnt anchor it to the wooden base, you could small lag bolts in the corners, but ours hasnt moved and we have had it 2 yrs...we love it

YES, Also, this is a nice shed. You really need a solid flat platform to set it on. I also used clear silicone in every joint to make it completely weather tight.

Apologies in advance if this seems idiotically obvious, but I would screw on a frame of selected 2X or thicker lumber and attach to that. I would cut so any knots would be away from attachment points.

no instructions that I recall. I set mine up on 4X4's with a tire and concrete base. found out due to the weight of the net that I need to add some tie-downs on the back side of the poles. Net is heavy and stretching it does not help. I ended up donating mine to a local charity and getting a lighter weight one for our one time a year use.

I absolutely would only screw it into the wood studs with the screws. Mine is rock solid AND I too am a perfectionist. If it's not in a stud, you MUST use the anchors, but I can't vouch for it's sturdiness.

Put the top together first. Tie up the two top brackets with bungee cord to keep in place. Four poles from the brackets to four corner pieces. Poles in bottom of brackets to ground holders. Short pole with long pole tie it up

you don't. We put a 3 foot metal rod on each side and tied it to arbor with a snap tie and used a sledge hammer and knocked that metal rod into ground and it secures it just fine and we have heavy winds here.

I guess the cement blocks would work but I would recommend against it. The shed has to be in a completely flat surface, and who knows if you can achieve that with the blocks, plus assembly of this thing is a little hard, so once you assemble you're gonna wanna leave it like that forever. What I did is that I build a deck and put it on top of it, it costs a little more but it's worth it. You can build the deck with a few cement blocks to hold the wood, and the actual wood (it obviously has to be at least 8 x 10), with the help of friends won't take too long.

We anchored the frame to a treated-lumber perimeter base, and it is very stable! We used thick concrete "pavers" for the floor. Here is a forum thread with photos of our Shelterlogic shed install/build:http://www.mytractorforum.com/52-workshops-garage-shed-discussions/678449-shelterlogic-10x15-cement-paver-floor.html

I would say yes you need a foundation or something relatively flat. I could not get mine to align and could not get the roof panels to close all the way. I ended up returning the whole shed.

Can't you just assemble it and when it's together just screw it down into position??? Actually we put ours together against a fence. Another option is to take down the block wall, assemble the shed then replace the block wall. all done

It's not anchored down in any way. What I did that worked great was to fill the well with gravel after I placed it in the yard. I was careful to NOT put plastic under the gravel. If you bury the base, the soil will rot the wood. If you use plastic, the water will collect over the plastic and rot the wood.

I don't think this is an issue. You can assemble the shed anywhere and then lift or slide it into position. Lifting would be done with at least 2 people. I wouldn't slide it on concrete because you abrade the composite base.

If you use a few simple 4x4 pieces of hardwood, you can use a rubber mallet to hammer the stainless steel anchor stakes into the wood, and then affix the support poles into the anchor stakes. This will keep the product upright on hard (non-pourous) surfaces. Go to the website www.thewallup.com to see different setups with the video that is shown.

I used a couple of sheetrock wall anchors. Use the base to mark your holes, drill a small hole in the wall, insert the anchor and screw the base to the wall. Piece of cake!

That may work. I would find some way to anchor it. I wish I could be more help I use it for out door application.

Just get a standard 1x10 piece of lumber from the hardware store and cut it into 28.25" long segments. You'll need to cut ears out of the back two corners as well (instructions with a diagram are included in the box and can also be found at rubbermaid.com). These wooden shelves simply slip in to indentations inside the shed. The shelves don't extend all the way to the door, so you can still store long-handled tools like rakes in there while the shelves are in place. I wouldn't put a whole lot of weight on the shelves, but they do add a lot of storage space for small things like garden supplies.
