Constructing a New Pad
• Use only concrete for new pad construction. Do not use substitute materials since they lack the rigidity
for enclosure placement.

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.

When pad mounting, the compression strength of the pad must be at
least 4000 psi as determined by ASTM C39 test of compression strength
