30x50 pole barn

Perfect explanation of why you shouldn't have used your surface anchors. The pole barn wouldn't have blown over if your poles were in the ground properly.

Well let me rephrase that sentence......the storm knocked over a giant oak tree and it fell through the corner and knocked out half the wall. The wind didn't blow it over.:laughing: If they had been in the concrete I would have lost a couple hundred dollars worth of post too because they would have snapped off from the weight of the tree, As it stands all I lost was my time and most of the 2x6 boards that were nailed on the post for siding nailers which was bad enough but not a total loss.

Hmmm. If that was the case the shed I am repairing right now wouldn't have blown in.
