ABSTRACT:
A support structure for the stationary, level mounting of heavy objects such as air conditioner condensers and the like. The support structure has a substantially flat top supported by sidewalls with an outwardly extending flange at the bottom edges of the sidewalls. The height and bottom edges of the sidewalls are fabricated to compensate for any slope in the supporting surface upon which the structure is to be rested so that the flat top is maintained substantially horizontal. The flange is parallel to the supporting surface so when the heavy object is rested on the flat top the weight is distributed over the area of the flange. The flat top and sidewalls form a closed surface and have a weather-resistant lamination that is continuous with the flange. If the object is to be roof mounted the flange may be substantially sealed to the roof surface so that moisture and debris do not contact the area of the roof underlying the support structure. Very little deterioration will occur to the underlying roof surface so that if reroofing subsequently becomes necessary, the materials can be applied directly over the flange so that the need to remove the support structure or mounted object is thereby eliminated.
