Iaviksfan, since water tower were originally built on a piling of some sort for stability you could take some electrical conduit( It's already gray like concrete) a bury say 1ft lengths in the ground ( below or even with grade) and add to the bottom of the water tower to slide into the conduit. You could use metal rod to add bottom weight. This would make it easy to install and remove. <br /> For buildings I thionk I would secure with rebar a piece of pressure treeated wood to the ground and inconspicously run brass or galvinized screws on two sides into the anchored wood. I would however underssize the wood to allow for changes in moisture content, maybe a 1/2 inch for side to side and front to back. <br /> <br />Hope this helps[?]
