2.1.2 Concrete Pad Layout

The illustration below shows the general dimensions for a poured

in place concrete pad. When placing the pad, allow at least 36

inches of clearance to allow the front and rear doors to fully

open.

3/8" diameter (4 places) bolts (which should extend

1"-1 1/2" above the surface of the pad). All mounting hardware

must be stainless steel to prevent corrosion.

A 25+ year continuous vapor barrier must be used between the

enclosure and pad to prevent moisture ingress and corrosion

caused by metal-to-concrete contact. The vapor barrier material

(such as 30 lb. felt, neoprene pond liner, or heavy grade tar

paper) should initially extend at least 6" in all directions around

the perimeter of the enclosure. After the enclosure is in place, the

material should be cut closer to the enclosure, using the

appropriate knife or cutting tool.
