I have a 440lb gun safe that I would like to store on a 2nd floor in my house. I am planning on putting it in the closet of a guest room. If I build a platform the size of the closet floor out of 3/4 ply and 2x4s with 2x4s running like joists every 12" do you all think this should be sufficient to spread the dead load? Worth noting the closet sits against an outside wall to its left.
It is currently stored in my dining room (and a bit of an eyesore).
Thank you for the help and hopefully I put it in the right forum.
