Safe on concrete floor in basement

[Dogwood]

You will really want to raise the safe up off the floor. If you get water in your basement, then your safe will be hi and dry.

Did so and all set.

Keep off concrete!! I stored my safe in a basement while building our house direct contact with concrete and had bad results. In new house have a slab and put plywood and a piece of vapor barrier down and no problems.

Exactly what I did plus off the floor 4 inches. Thanks for the great advice.

build a platform a bit bigger than the safe and sit it on there.

Moisture barrier. I used exterior plywood and a piece of "wrap" to have a seal between the metal and concrete. Left my safe and contents in sons basement while we were building and made me sick to see the rust when I moved and reclaimed the goods.

There was a bunch of mold and rust under mine that I left on the concrete basement floor for years. I don't think the safe was really damaged, but only a matter of time. A moisture barrier is good.

I use plastic lattice under mine, about .25 thick. You can get in strips at HD. Also acts as a slide to let you push it back before you bolt it.

bolt it down and forget it, or jack it up so I can get a hauler under it and then call me
