- Observe local building practices for pad construction. American Products recommends that the pad should extend a minimum of 8” beyond the enclosure base on all sides.
- Use a minimum of 6” of sand or gravel as a base for the pad for leveling purposes.
WARNING| When pad mounting, the compression strength of the pad must be
at least 4000 psi as determined by ASTM C39 test of compression strength of
concrete cylinders. The slump of the concrete shall be 2” to 4” as determined
by ASTM C143 test method.
