[QUOTE="iowafarmer, post: 498115, member: 7792"] Yeah I would go with a footing aound the edge about a foot and a half or two feet deep around the edge so that rats don't get udner it. Then use rebar on 18" and put some in the footing and go 6inches of cement deep and put a layer of gravel 4 inches thick where the pad is but you don't need it for the footing. Helps if ground with freezing here in iowa and thawing and stuff. the pilllar idea was good but you could get by with out them. Unless you have really strong winds over 75mph i doupt it would tip over if bolted to 6 inch slab of concrete and is full of feed. It would take a tornado to blow it over. You don't need a footing just an idea or gravel makes a nicer base under neath than top soil. I would put rebar in it though to strengthen it up so it doesn't crack. [/QUOTE]
