    Need to do a man door landing, mini-split and air compressor pads for my shop. A pad will be stronger if you fill the form from one end to the other, rather than layering it over the whole form, as the cure will be consistent throughout the slab thickness. Thanks for sharing!

    Cheers, I'm about to tackle a job like this, ran the plans in my head a thousand times, I will be locating my plummed in pressure washer and air compressor in a similar way outside my shed under a weather proof cover so it was great to see someone actually do it... Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

    Thanks, I made my frame and tomorrow I’ll pour the cement. This helped with some good ideas.

      Concrete, not cement, I mean you can pour just cement but I would recommend using concrete

    For anyone looking a easier and maybe cheaper option. You can by the pre made pads. They are not concrete but a very hard durable plastic. I do hvac work and use these almost exclusively. This video is a great option as well!

      Yea but how do you anchor the condenser to the plastic pad? We get fairly constant high winds out here

      @@markm6444 I am speaking from a North Carolina perspective. If your state requires the unit to be secured to the pad by code then a concrete pad will be the best option. You can screw the units to these plastic pads and probably be fine, but concrete would be the full proof way.

    wondering if i could do multiple of these small pads and then fill in the gaps to essentially concreate a small concrete patio area 🤔🤔 what about for a 7' x 10' area to place a storage unit? trying to save some costs here XD (thank you for this video btw)
