| Just purchased a gun safe that weighs 600 pounds empty. It measures about 2' x 3' so it is covering 6 square feet of floor space. According to building codes the wood framed floor will support 40 pounds per square foot or 240 pounds in 6 sq ft. Am I figuring this correctly that the floor system must be reinforced to be able to support my safe? |
