So I'm moving 3 large safes I've inherited from a good friend (he's in assisted living now) 2 of the safes are heritage 50 gun safes, and are already sitting on the hardwood timbers they were delivered on. The other is a large 50 gun safe (can't remember brand) it's still bolted to its pallet. I'm planning on removing that safe from its pallet and sitting and bolting it to 2 4x6 timbers. All 3 safes will be sitting on top of trex deck boards to avoid any moisture or water soaking into the timbers from the concrete floor(not common in my basement, but its a basement it happens) Anyhow, I was thinking should I be worried that the chemicals in the treated wood may corrode the bottom of the safe its sitting on, or would the paint job on the safe protect it? If I do need to worry about corrosion what should I put between them |

I tracked down a piece of 1/4" MDF. That should be a good barrier. I'll cut it the size of my 4x6 skids, and glue it on top and set safe on that. Here's where the safes are going...

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
