Mounting pad and method for deterring theft and securing outdoor equipment and appliances against high winds
A mounting pad system for securing equipment, such as an HVAC outdoor unit, is provided in the form of a lightweight fillable pad member having securing slots extending from an underside surface to an upperside surface of the pad member. Securing strap assemblies are associated with at least some of the securing slots and are insertable into the latter to secure the equipment therebetween. The pad member contains a filling port on its upper surface and is configured as a molded hollow shell containing a gelling material which, when mixed with water, provides support to reduce deflection of the pad member caused by the equipment secured to the pad, prevents damage to the pad that would otherwise be caused by the expansion of internal contents upon freezing and prevents leakage of internal contents of the fillable pad in the event of an unintended breach in the hollow shell. The pad member is provided with at least one through-hole for allowing a securing anchor to be inserted therethrough into the ground at the installation site without disturbing sealing integrity of the hollow shell.
