Mounting a larger sculpture
Carl,
The real question is what the ground is like where these
pieces will be mounted. If the pad can be arranged to
reach hard-pan, bedrock or the like, less of a skirt
about the base is needed. The poorer the ground
density, the higher the rainfall/erosion, etc., the more
widely you will need to spread the load to keep it from
requiring repositioning.
These are questions best addressed by a regionally
informed foundations and form-work tradesperson than by
folks spread across the globe who will be guessing
blind. 8^)
At least being east of the Great Divide, you don't have
to contend with earthquake measures as we do here on the
West Coast! Good luck, and a report of your eventual
findings would be most welcomed.

Quoted text begins. I have been told by people that work with concrete all day that a block
that is 4' x 4' x 15" tall is all I need. That sounds woefully
inadequate. I would think that would tip over. If they tip over then
the rigging company has to come back and charge me again which I would
rather avoid.
