Corner braces are U-shaped channels that are used to assist in reinforcing the structure of the building. On all of our building, four 2’ long corner braces come standard, and are installed on each corner of the building. Additional corner braces are available at additional cost. We recommend the use of 2’ long corner braces on each building leg (2 per bow). For buildings with legs that are longer than 8’ , we recommend that customers upgrade to 4’ corner braces on each corner, and we also recommend that they be installed on each building leg (2 per bow).
Lag bolts are used to secure the building, in the place of rebar or concrete anchors, when installing on a wood platform. Should lag bolts be needed, they must be supplied by the customer or buy with an additional charge.
Rebar is a common steel reinforcing bar. Our rebar anchors are made from this reinforcing bar, and they are approximately 3’ long. They have a 5/8” nut welded onto one end. They are installed through a hole drilled into the base rail, and they secure the building in both ground and asphalt installations.
