A:  When installed, the main body supported as shown in the pictures on home depot website, the unit is designed to support 700 pounds. While some customers have installed in an area for a drain type scenario, the unit has not been tested to accommodate foot traffic.

    Answer This Question

    A:  There is only one size. Read the instructions carefully and make careful assumptions about how it will fit; many dimensions you may want are not on the documentation. You can stack them up if you need to make them taller.

        A:  Everything seen in the picture is included. It's the vent unit (gray ribbed section) which gets mounted to the outside of a crawl space air vent and may need to be partially buried. The gray half disc that can be set to the appropriate level in the internal ribbing of the vent unit. The center hole in the half disc acts as a drain should water get into it. Hardware includes 2 mounting screws with anchors and screws for the brown grated decorative lid which is also included.

            A:  It should be strong enough that would look good

            by|Aug 25, 2020

              A:  Yes, pour right up to them. These are shaped as a half circle and butt up to your foundation wall, where your crawl space vents are located. We used them so we could pour concrete patio’s and porches around our home and allow our crawl space vents air flow and function properly. They look and function great.
