Bit of 4x2 bolted on to top and someone to walk around whilst another holds it steady.That was my first thought - how much would it cost to get them in the ground.
Depends on the soil tbh?!Rather you than me.
how does that work exactlyI looked into them once and decided that it was probably best left to a properly equipped "expert".
In the end my son went for cut off lengths of soil pipe buried in the ground with concrete in them.
You set the base frame of the workshop on top of concrete piers, if wanted you can bed a bolt into the setting concrete to fasten to.how does that work exactly
Agree with you, those bolts are pretty close to the top of the timber, gonna be a nice thud once the building is up and all that weight splits the timbersAnother way we came across the other day is to use cut off lengths of concrete fence post, with pored concrete around then bolt to the sides, in my opinion, yes to the method but not to bolting to the sides.

An improvement on that would be to perhaps use concrete decking posts …Another way we came across the other day is to use cut off lengths of concrete fence post, with pored concrete around then bolt to the sides, in my opinion, yes to the method but not to bolting to the sides.

Well yes that’s true but these aren’t piles, they are piers and that’s why you excavate down to undisturbed soil, anyway they work.all that with tubes seems to defeat the principle of a pile. a pile relies on the depth of and the friction of the sides of the concrete on the hole in the ground
Not sure I'd be overly keen on those- very little preventing 'uplift' from pulling them out of the ground... Say a combination of lots of soaking rain and a high wind could see them easily being 'pulled up' out of the ground on the upwind side of the shed...I used these for my shed - https://shedbasekits.com/product-category/quickjack-soft-surfaces/ - no special tools needed, just a large hammer to drive the screw pile into the ground. The compromise of course is that all that is holding the shed down is the relatively small contact area of the screws...
