Concrete Gun Safe into floor

[rbaron25]

Hi team,
Just wondering if anyone has Concreted a Gun Safe into the floor. I’m Pouring a slab and wanted to set a 5 gun safe lying down into the floor...

I don't think there will be issue re LRD

But it's lying down, so no drainage, Being qld there might be a fair bit of moisture. Including rust on the safe and guns. If you want to get more than 3 guns your safe will not be able to hold. Lastly if water was to seap in, no drainage will mean your guns will be stuffed if you don't realise for a month.

You could be fine. Or maybe put it in the wall with a hidden panel of plaster infront of it.

I won't do it. But i am not an expert

Presumably you're going to buy another safe when you move to a new property?

A slap is a sponge allowing transmission of moisture. If u sit a particle board cupboard onto a dry slab in a garage, even though the slab seems dry for many months After a while the cupboard will show signs of blowing up From a security point of view it’s a good idea. I’m guessing a portion of safes are stolen rather than opened on site with crow bars

Never done it.
If you go ahead post the results as I'm very interested.

Built with idea to not move again. Didn’t think through the moisture thing. I did notice floor safes have a shroud around them then sit inside. I was curious to if anyone had out a safe into a slab before. Sounds
Ike no for drainage, portability. I liked the idea of it being hidden and harder to get at and/or move. Might have to rethink. I’ll talk to a gun safe dude next weekend and see how much they laugh...
