Starting the process of installing a Kohler 14K at the new construction eventual retirement home. I need to elevate it about 33 inches off the ground. I've looked up all the setback/clearance codes, no issues there, but in talking with the local inspector, he says he will not pass it if on an elevated platform made from wood/combustible materials.
There are a couple of companies who make metal options https://www.paddepot.com/generatorstands but the price is just nuts for 12 feet of square tube and some channel. I have a TIG and I'll probably just make my own from AL as the location is 150ft from salt water, but before I invest the time in doing that, I'm wondering if anyone is using another mounting option that gets the gen off the ground but isn't flammable.
