PARTS LIST
Local building departments require some sort of anchoring system to meet wind requirements. We
recommend Simpson HD2A (available at most Home Centers and hardware stores) or similar for a
anchor as shown in Fig. 3. You will also need (2) 1/2”x3” bolts (not included) with a rating of 500 lbs.
of tension or greater each bolt, (2) washers and nuts also for the wall to anchor connection. Also you
will need a Simpson 1/2” or 5/8” Wedge-All anchor, Titen Hd or similar (available at most Home Cen-
ters and hardware stores) for the anchor to concrete connection. If you have a wood oor you would
need a 12” long Wedge-All and a 6” long for a Concrete slab. Anchors need to be imbedded at least
4-1/2” into concrete.
