Safe location

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about putting one of my safes upstairs. It's 800 pounds empty and close to 1000 or a little more. The floor should hold up right?

Just have my ex girlfriend over and test the floor. I can give you her number

She's 800 lbs?

Upstairs in a house with wood floor trusses ? I would highly recommend against it. That floor is not engineered for that kind of load in a small area. Can and probably will create a floor/ceiling sag and that's if you don't damage/break the wood framed stairs.

Listen to this man, the sum of all forces on your upstairs floor will not be zero for very long with that heavy sucker up there.

If I ever have a fire I guess it'll end up downstairs anyway

A friend had a full size slate pool table upstairs....no problem. Check with the builder, if the house isn't very old.

Ya look up the build and truss size and see what the spread is and you can calc pounds per square inch. Placing it on a sheet of 3/4 ply will spread the weight a lot and you should be fine. My ex slept upstairs and she never fell through. The hard part is getting it up there

That's what they make Viagra for.
