As I continue my search for the perfect safe/RSC, I have to say that THR has provided the most helpful info during my research & I thank ya'll for it.
I'm looking at an RSC that will measure about 60x36x28 & weigh about 800lbs (empty). It will be mounted in a carpeted room inside the house on pier & beam foundation.
I'm considering putting the safe itself on a pedestal; framed & braced with 4x4s with the safe setting on carpeted 3/4" plywood. The pedestal will be bolted through the floor and the safe bolted to 4x4s in the pedestal.
My concern is: Will I need to bolster the foundation under this contraption? If so, what? & how?
