Securing the Docking Station to the Ground

To ensure stability and safety, securely fasten the docking station to the ground. It is crucial to install the docking station on a flat surface that is not prone to water pooling or flooding.

Mounting on Dirt

For mounting the docking station on dirt, follow these steps:

1

Gather Materials: - J Hooks, U Hooks or Rebar stakes
2

Prepare the Area: - Clear the area where you want to place the docking station, ensuring it is flat and level.

3

Position the Docking Station: - Place the docking station in your desired location.

4

Insert Rebar Stakes: - Use a hammer to drive J Hooks or U Hooks into the ground at each corner of the docking station. Ensure the hooks are securely anchored in the dirt.

5

Secure the Dock: - Attach the docking station to the hooks using appropriate fasteners, ensuring it is secure and stable.

To mount the docking station on a concrete surface, you can use Cast-in-Place Anchor Bolts

1

Prepare the Concrete: - Ensure the area is clean and free of debris.

2

Install Anchor Bolts: - Place the docking station in the desired location. - Use a drill to create pilot holes at specified locations on the docking station’s base into the concrete.

3

Insert Anchor Bolts: - Choose drop-in anchor bolts (commonly referred to as “dry-set” or “post-installed” anchor bolts). - Screw the anchor bolts into the pilot holes until they are secure.

4

Finalize Installation: - Ensure the docking station is tightly secured to the concrete.

For both dirt and concrete installations, always verify that the docking station is level and stable before use. This ensures optimal performance.
