What shed anchors for concrete slab?

Question

I'm looking at various options for outdoor sheds which will be placed on a concrete floor.

Are the shed fixings/anchors done on the outside of the shed or from the inside.  How would one anchor the shed down if going up flush against two walls for example.

Hi @Blues,

I can't find the specific instructions for those sheds, but I note that they do mention on their website that

https://www.buildashed.com.au/contents/en-us/d271_Bolt-Down-Kits.html

are included with their sheds.

These kits will be installed on the inside of the shed.

Let me know if there is anything else I can assist with.

Thanks Jacob.  I had assumed that's the case but I couldn't find any online assembly instructions/manuals or videos for the sheds I was considering to confirm hence the question. Examples:

Build-a-Shed 1.5 x 2.3 x 2.0m Skillion Double Hinged Side Door Shed I/N: 0148932

Build-a-Shed 2.3 x 1.5 x 2.3m Gable No Side Doors Shed I/N: 0148499

Hi @Blues,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

It really depends on the specific shed, but I have only ever seen them being anchored from the inside.

Typically, they will have small angle brackets that screw into the metal framing at the base of the wall, which are then attached to the concrete beneath. That metal framing will always be on the inside of the shed.

I can't foresee any issues, but if you are concerned, you should have a look through the instruction manual of the specific shed you are looking to purchase. It will almost certainly reflect what I have said above, but it is always worth double checking.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
