If it rains enough the soil will simply let em loose on a high wind. I paid for 2 truck loads of base rock material and have 16 tie downs and the pan system on 72 foot 16 wide mobile. Hope that it hold up
Did you install them directly under the crossbeam or out a ways from them? I’m raising a 10x20 shed and using the same anchors, I didn’t auger them directly the beam they’ll be connected to, but 4 on each side and set back about a foot.
I installed them as close to the outer wall as I could get them and still be under the home and behind the skirting, I would say they are about 12 inches out from the frame, the spacing is dependent on how high the top of the frame is from the ground, meaning the higher the frame is the closer I would need to install the anchors to one another, also it’s within 2 feet from each end of the home, and with yours 4 on each side of a 20 foot long structure sounds like enough.
Could you weld a box on the end of your adapter, instead of bolting and unbolting it each time, put boxed end over the anchor's saddle end and just drive it into the ground and pull it off. Easier, quicker, since you have welding equip.
Yes that is a great idea, I don’t ever put much thought into fabrication, I just look through scrap piles until I find the first thing that I think might work, your idea would be very easy to build though and I like that. Thanks for sharing that.😀
Hey omg haha I was looking into how to do this and I recognize you from Tonasket. Wow hey is there anyway I could borrow that from you or I can rent it.
The hook just grabs the top of the frame, it would work better on an I-beam frame but it works on a C-frame like mine also, once there is tension on it then it won’t slip off, are you having problems?
I never measured it I just welded 2 pieces of angle iron together that fit inside the anchor then I marked the holes and drilled some holes for bolts, I just used any scrap metal I had laying around 😀
I don’t understand what you mean but, no possible way this can come unhooked, if you mean it can unhook from the top of the frame that is not possible, it wouldn’t come off if you pulled it with a truck, the hook will not fit between the floor joist and the frame.

@user-pg4kq4th9q theres no use in trying to explain it to him he already is questioning everything that I'm trying to tell him even though I did this for a living installing mobile homes into parks, his whole install is incorrect
No I’m almost certain that I did it correctly although it has not been inspected yet, the way you suggest to do it would be nearly impossible, I have also removed mobile homes and all of them had the anchors installed just like i showed in the video.
This is not for a hurricane they are just to meet code, those anchors do not come out, I have removed exactly these anchors multiple times and they have extreme holding power.
Mobile homes anchored in dirt withstand winds of 80+mph every year in my state. It's usually a tornado that will be strong enough to destroy a mobile home but it usually just shreds it instead of rolling it.
@@justinbird2605 yeah good point, the home would be shredded before it could pull the anchors out and different areas with more tornadoes require more anchors 😀
It’s not required, completely unnecessary, most of my homes have been in this park for 40 years and not one is placed on concrete, only 2 of them even have anchors, because it didn’t used to be a code requirement.
Where's the supporting plate? If you respond with what is a supporting plate? Then obviously you didn't install them.... which means that this install is incorrect
Yeah follow the code in your area, this passes inspection, and is all that is required for me, I said in the video that all codes can be a little different.
Code is god damn dumb if the trailer goes over it’s ripping that right out of the ground no effort lol the idiot engineer who came up with tie downs I tell ya
Yeah code is dumb but these are very hard to pull out of the ground, I have removed them on a double wide home, the code in my area has not required them for very long because most homes I’m my park don’t have these anchors at all. 🤪
Do you mean on the strap? No I just clip the hook on the top of my frame and tighten it down on my frame there is no way it can come off because it has a floor joist sitting directly on top of the frame.

Great video probably the best tutorial on TH-cam on how to do this thank you sir
Thanks I’m happy if it could help you out.😀
I had no idea of how to do it. Thank you
Yeah you are welcome😀
Thanks for the info and content!

I don’t think my anchors will ever pull out, you have double the amount of anchors so your local code must be different than mine.😀
Nice adaptor. I’m going to make one now.
Thanks, I hope it works for you.😀
@@frugallandlord6974 It worked out perfectly. Put 4 Anchors in 20 minutes. Thanks.

It’s very cheap just to buy one.
@@frugallandlord6974 where do they sell it?
@@frugallandlord6974 the part that goes to the tie down
@@frugallandlord6974 I tried seeing if the building supply store had something like that for rent but they didn’t
@ i just need to rent the piece that goes in the tie down bracket
How exactly do the other end of the straps hook to the frame?
The hook just grabs the top of the frame, it would work better on an I-beam frame but it works on a C-frame like mine also, once there is tension on it then it won’t slip off, are you having problems?
have the dimensions for materials to make that adapter for the motor?
I never measured it I just welded 2 pieces of angle iron together that fit inside the anchor then I marked the holes and drilled some holes for bolts, I just used any scrap metal I had laying around 😀
@@frugallandlord6974 thanks
Damn bro how deep is your anchor and where is your cheater bar
I used a 2x4 about 3 feet long as a cheater bar, that worked good for getting it past the tough spots
The "easy way" - as long as you can weld an adapter...
It wouldn’t cost much to have that piece fabricated I just used 2 small pieces of angle iron and a short piece of galvanized pipe. 😀
@@frugallandlord6974 It's not the cost, it's the welding.
You want a complete wrap right
Are you talking about the straps, no I didn’t wrap them I just put the hook around the top of the frame.
You got to flap over the strap over the tie-down strap another time dude, overwise it just can unhook with any movements
I don’t understand what you mean but, no possible way this can come unhooked, if you mean it can unhook from the top of the frame that is not possible, it wouldn’t come off if you pulled it with a truck, the hook will not fit between the floor joist and the frame.

I think you angled the anchor the wrong way. It should be angled towards the beam.
No I’m almost certain that I did it correctly although it has not been inspected yet, the way you suggest to do it would be nearly impossible, I have also removed mobile homes and all of them had the anchors installed just like i showed in the video.
You need to dig a hole and set the anchors in concrete or you're probably wasting your time if you get really high winds.

How is it incorrect?
