my Sirius 3.2

Hello Mathew,
My Sirius 3.2 sits on a concrete slab in which I cast two drainage channels.The larger one brings in power from solar powered battery.The mount is on a big concrete block isolated from the slab carrying the dome.


My pier is 1.5 metres tall .


The floor is covered with interlocking plastic grating about an inch deep which are overlain by interlocking EVA tiles to about an inch fro the walls. I have no mold or dampness problems with this arrangement and a pot of Zilch dehumidifier pellets.

I have three bays and this is probably more than I need.

If you aim for automation make sure that the floor slab has adequate foundations to maintain its position and its surface horizontal.
Cheers
Cris
