How is this shed anchored to the ground? Also does it come with the hardware to anchor it? Thanks

If you are anchoring shed to a concrete foundation, use 3/8x3 inch expansion bolts for concrete. I used 12 bolts for this size shed. You will need a hammer drill with a 3/8 drill bit to drill the hole for the bolt. The shed does not include the bolts, but you can purchase them here on Amazon, or a hardware store. (Lowe's, or Home Depot)

The flooring comes with prefabricated holes for anchoring but no hardware. If anchor to concrete slab (preferred) use masonry fasteners. If anchor to wood platform use 1/4" x 2" lag screws. Make sure whatever the slab or platform is absolutely level!!

I built a wood platform and screwed it to the platform. I would not use this shed without building a platform or using a concrete slab.

You definately want to anchor this to the ground. It comes with 4 long U shaped spikes and straps that secure it to the ground. If the child swings to hard it will come up on the pavement. We built ours on the concrete patio and I tried it for sturdiness before moving it onto the mulch of the playground, it definately slides and the small end (without the house) will rock back and forth. Even now when I swing next to my son (he's one, and in the baby swing and I'm about 115 pounds) it moves a little bit and it's anchored in really good. This wouldn't deter me from buying it again since it isn't made for bigger kids (or me...)

I have ours inside the garage, but would imagine it would be fine outside if you were able to anchor it down. It has scew holes for anchoring.

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.

It comes with everything to set it up. If you want to anchor it, you'll need to provide those materials.

If you attach it properly in the yard, you use a 4X4, and a two big bolts (included). it will NOT move easily. I just have mine on the porch, and not anchored, which I still need to do, but so far, no problem. I had this one at a previous home, anchored outside, for over 5 years, so I dont think you have to worry about anyone taking the whole box.

Yes, there are metal sections that anchor the unit to the ground. They seem effective, but installation is tricky if ground is not level.

It comes with a bracket to be screwed to something. So you could put a 4x4 post in the ground and attach it to that.

It comes with stakes which are needed for outside. If you got plastic feet at the hardware store to stick in the bottom, it would probably be stable enough to stand on a level floor on its own. However, if anyone bumped into it wouldn't stay in place.

The shed has a molded plastic floor with pre-drilled holes for anchoring the shed to a sub-floor with screws. A crushed stone foundation would be good for drainage, but you will still need some sort of ground anchors to hold the shed in place.

It comes with 4 long screws and anchors. I think you can only bolt it to the floor. I have never done it. It would be better you contact Sentry.

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.

there are metal spikes that fit into the footings ,allowing it to anchor pretty well . I used cable ties to attach them to a chain link fence. I suppose you could put one of those screws with the circle on top into the wall and run a cable tie through the hole and around your trellis. should be stable .

The hardware is included if you are hanging it on a wood of frame house. Otherwise you will need to go to the hardware store to get anchors to hang it on a brick house.

Yes it comes with mounting hardware. Shelve or wall and maybe floor if you choose too.

You need a floor for stability really. You could put it straight on the grass but it won't be grass long and you'll end up with a dirt floor. I really recommend the floor frame and some plywood...otherwise you'll be stepping up over a metal framing bar and then down into the shed. It helps keep it sturdy as well. :)
