Studiot,
The original point of my question concerns the size of the channel needed to support the proposed load under the stated conditions. Is 4" x 1" x 1/4" channel adequate?
Your concerns about the trip hazard poised are noted. The walkway is only used infrequently for lowering awnings...
Goest;
Thanks for the reply. The walkway support is 24" wide reinforced concrete 6" thick.
Studiot;
Thank you also. Your are correct my math stinks! The space between the wall and AC unit would indeed be 17".
Are there not multiple aluminum allows which provide adequate protection...
I need to replace an air conditioner compressor unit that sits on the 2nd floor walk way on my stilt home in the Florida Keys. The walk way is 24" deep and the original AC unit fit that dimension, however, the new unit is 31" square. When I install the new unit I would like to leave a 18" space...
