Tower panels must be handled with extreme caution and care; they can be sharp on the edges and can become
dangerous if falling or sliding. Installer must ensure the safety of all people, animals, and property whenever working
with panels.
The VPL must be anchored “plumb” to a level, 3,500 PSI concrete pad at least 4” thick. Minimum pad dimensions are
41” x 50” to anchor the legs and support the tower. However, a larger pad will be needed if it is desired that the
guard ramp land on the pad and or the approach to the ramp be incorporated into the pad. Final pad location,
orientation, and dimensions are the installer’s responsibility to determine based on field conditions.
