For grass, earth and sandy soil

Our ground anchors are a sturdy, hot-dip galvanized and powder-coated steel frame that can either be embedded in a concrete foundation or buried directly in solid ground.

Direct burying in the ground

If you choose to bury the plant directly, make sure the soil is extremely firm to ensure secure footing. We recommend digging the hole with a "ground hole digger."

Step-by-step instructions for digging

1. Determine the distance: The distances between the holes must be determined precisely. In practice, it's best to proceed post by post. So, first select the desired location for the rack and then begin installing the first ground anchor.
2. Dig the hole: Dig the hole so that the ground anchor fits exactly and has little play from the start.
3. Align anchor: Align the anchor in plumb and level.
4. Add soil and compact it: Return the removed soil to the hole. While adding the soil, rinse it with water and compact it (for example, with a wooden block) to achieve maximum strength.
5. Attach the upright: Screw the first upright in place.
6. Determine distance to next upright: Place a crossbar below to determine the correct distance to the next upright.
7. Align posts: Make sure the posts are vertical.
8. Tighten nuts: Only tighten the nuts on the ground anchor 100% once the entire outdoor rack is in place to allow room for adjustments.

Pouring into point foundations

If the ground anchors are to be cast into point foundations, a similar procedure is required. So-called quick-set or garden concrete has proven effective in this case. For details on foundations, see also the "Bolt Anchors" section.

Safety notice

Check the anchors regularly for loosening or damage.

For concrete floors and point foundations in sand and earth

Do you want to mount your ATLETICA Outdoor Rack on concrete or in sand and earth? Then our bolt anchors are the right choice! They are designed for heavy loads and provide reliable anchoring.

How it works

The bolt anchors work through a mechanical expansion effect in the drilled hole. When the nut is tightened, a sleeve expands, creating a solid connection in the concrete.

Assembly

Installation is child’s play:

1. Drilling: Drill a hole into the concrete floor using the 16mm concrete drill bit.
2. Insertion: Insert the bolt anchor into the drilled hole.
3. Tighten: Tighten the nut with an 18mm wrench.

Important instructions:

• Ensure sufficient edge clearance from the concrete edge to ensure full load-bearing capacity and prevent damage to the concrete.
• For sandy or earthy soils, you will need to pour point foundations.

Foundations in sand or soil

• R8 Outdoor Rack with 4 or more posts: Foundations with an area of ​​at least 30x30cm and 50cm deep.
• Freestanding 2-post outdoor rack (e.g. "R8 Jade"): Foundations of 40x40cm and 60cm depth.

You need 4 bolt anchors per upright (post).

Details

• Dimensions: M12x90, wrench size 18mm, sleeve diameter 16mm
• Material: stainless steel 304
• Tools required: 16mm concrete drill and drill/hammer drill, hammer for driving in the bolts, 18mm wrench

The solution for all floors

Are you looking for a simple way to stabilize your R8 Magma Outdoor Power Rack or a custom rack configuration with the base dimensions of 108x108cm? Then our skid plates are just the thing for you!

Advantages

• Stability: The hot-dip galvanized and double powder-coated weight plates ensure that your rack stands securely.
• Flexibility: Ideal for all surfaces, whether grass, soil, paving slabs, paving stones or concrete.
• Easy installation: The uprights are simply screwed from above into the threads of the skid plates.
• No drilling required: Perfect if you don't want or can't damage the floor.
• Predefined spacing: The spacing of the uprights is predetermined by the skid plates, which simplifies the assembly of the rack.

Mass

• 230x23cm
• Material thickness: 11mm

Construction

1. Correct location: Place the skid plates in the desired outdoor location.
2. Alignment: Align the plates parallel to each other. The distance between the plates must be 93 cm (inner edge).
3. Attaching the uprights: Screw the uprights from above into the threads of the skid plates.

Tip

A slight position correction of the skid plates is still possible during rack assembly.
