Concrete Anchoring

A Sport Dome requires a concrete slab or perimeter footing for anchoring. It is necessary to anchor the dome into concrete so that it is able to withstand higher wind speeds during winter storms.

Concrete anchors, commonly called Red Head anchors, secure an aluminum track around the full perimeter. Anchors are typically spaced approximately 1 foot apart, though spacing may vary with the size of the dome.
