bought a ground anchor advice needed

[jamma]

I bought i ground anchor to secure my giant propel advanced pro 0 but realise my shed shed is raised up off the concrete base so the bolts won't work and my parents don't want my cutting a hole in the floor to place a concrete block in.

Any ideas what i could do with it apart from taking it back to the shop or sell it?

Longer bolts?

Get a big builder's bucket and fill it full of cement, then secure your ground anchor to that.

If the shed is raised, I think you'd risk collapsing the bottom of the shed with that

If i had a bike like this http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Giant-Prope...ETRi-BL0c965vfcy_K1IcLlDU5HwrHcQwaAlgx8P8HAQ# i'd keep it in the house. Why not do that? I keep my bikes in the back room and they are worth far less than yours.

Maybe his parents aren't keen? Like they aren't with him messing around with the shed base?

Yes maybe. Having seen that bike it's got me wondering. Do you think i should get one?

Why not, but I think it's more than you want to spend, at least double everything else you've linked
Weren't you looking at that Scott?

I'm only joking about the bike in question. I'm having a look at the Scott either tomorrow or Sunday. I like the look and sound of it, but that Cube hasn't been ruled out yet, it has a certain appeal.

Is it possible to pour it(the cement) under the shed, or has it been raised because of drainage issues?

Even longer bolts on their own, best suggestion so far, will allow some play if no packing is applied under the plate.

How easy is access to the underside of the shed? Two large/oversized steel plates, one inside, one outside. Get your ground anchor welded to the inside one.

SHED? Jesus!

I thought the OP was going to get an Asgard? The guys who fit tnem make sure they are properly bonded to the required concrete base

How about something like this then?

Electric fence(battery powered) and a landmine on the bike.
Both used, and the first got a quick response when I said they could take their time, he wasn't going anywhere. Just remember to turn it off first before you try getting in, if it's your shed.

You could try chemically bonding some threaded rod, that should be long enough to get through the shed floor , the void and into the base.
