I'm behind in reading, and see the "how to pour" has been
answered pretty well. But how about "just buy it".
Would the pre-poured slabs used for external airconditioning
units work for this project? I'm not sure of the sizes available,
but when we replaced an AC compressor a few years back, the new
unit was bigger than the old. I had always assumed the small
slabs under the two units were poured, but they just lifted
out the old, cleared a slightly larger spot and dropped in a
new, larger one.
Call an AC contractor, or even just Lowes or Home Depot to see
if they have something which will work for your project. I don't
know if they go to the 4x6 size, but perhaps even mulitples of
a smaller size might work. (But if you've got boilers and water
tanks involved, a poured slab might be a better choice...)
