Done a few of them, rather I should say I have redone a few. Set it in place and level it with whatever you have. At each junction of their rafters dig a post hole as close as possible with a tractor mounted post hole digger. After you get done take a shovel and under mine the building junction. Some have holes drilled where they anchor them with a oversized (just kiddin) 3/8 in by two foot rebar. Drop in a long bolt with a big washer and nut on very top. Pout full of cement and tighten the nuts a little after a day ot two. A 30 x 80 takes 2 men 5 man hrs each to dig and pour. The last one we had a additional 2 1/2 hrs times 2 men to pull it back in place because it was twisted. We used a metal banding tool for pulling it back. We left the bands on till the concrete was cured.
The insurance companies are going to put a stop to them is what a few of the adjusters have said. Some have with the tarp ones more so than the total metal quancet ones.
I get somewhat upset as my building designs are to expensive, but I always get the bid on fixing the blow aways the next day after a storm. Seems it is very important to get there right away as another storm may make it worse and I'm to let a good customer sit and wait while I do the redo's on the blow aways. So far I have always got right on them, but it ticks me off, but who can realy blame them for trying to save a few dollars. I live in a small comunity and all are friends, but none of them so far worry about the peice of redoing them. Usualy their deductable and the high risk name costs them more than the building did in the first place.
Like a old guy I used to work for say's you can't afford to ever do it right the first time, but when you redo it ya sure can find the time to do it rightsomehow.
I should mention that we intentionaly leave a little loose dirt in the bottom of the post holes so the concrete will settle and pull downward even more. I'm not even sure it is a good idea, but so far it hasn't hurt anything.
