We would like to put one on the east side of our our CYV, basing it on the existing patio. Jusluvit, is that a strong enough base? Not sure how thick that is, but once back in TV, could dig down and find out.

Up north, of course, you have to worry about the frost depth - footings needed to be 4 feet deep in WI if I'm remembering correctly, but less in central Ohio. In Florida, probably just need to make sure the base is strong (thick) enough to support the weight?

I'd be interested in getting a contractor to either do the kit for us, or do something similar, depending on cost.
