Ground Anchors in Asguard Sheds - Anyone fitted one?

[wiggydiggy]

My house insurance is changing and needs me to secure my bikes to a ground anchor, I have one and have the instructions from Asgard but I'll fully admit I am not the greatest DIYer.

Has anyone had any experience of fitting one, or is there an alternative I'm not considering? I could mount the anchor internally to the shelves or other fittings which I'd prefer over drilling holes in the bottom of it.

FYI The clause I need to fulfil is: The pedal cycle(s) are secured to an immovable object using a Sold Secure Gold rated lock and the keys removed

EDIT - I could remove the one high value bike from the property insurance as I do have a seperate policy for it with a cycle insurance company.

Thi's probably isn't recognized by insurance companies but I made once and what I had lying around. my shed has a suspended floor. I got a four foot piece of old pallet racking beam and sunk it into a square foot of concrete beneath the shed floorboards with three foot poking up through. drilled a 20mm hole to put a D Lock through it.

Unfortunately my box is fully assembled and I can't lift it even if I wanted to, it'd have to drill through the floor of the box then into the concrete below.

My house insurer is fine without the shackle I've checked now, not sure why they said online they wanted it then when I phoned they said they did not (its not in policy documents either), though my dedicated bike insurance does want one still.

Nope, my bikes are just in the Asgard (which is bolted down), two disc locks and a very big Kryptonite chain with mini fahg d lock securing draped around the bikes. Garden is surrounded by a tall fence with bolted tall gate.
I believe that’s fine for my insurer!

Yeah mine is bolted down too. Who do you insure with? Hastings is my house and Aviva does one policy for the 1 bike.

MBNA (who are Lloyds Bank), they have generous bike limits (up to 10k iirc). Never bothered with bike insurance.
One of these monster chains
