(Texas, we\u2019re thinking of you.) John Stout of SolarTech\u2019s Support Team sends a tip that our customers use for parking boards in grassy (or sandy) areas. If the forecast calls for soaking rains, slip an 8\u201d x 8\u201d x 2\u201d board under each jack stand. The wider footprint will help keep the jack from sinking into mud as the rain softens the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, asphalt is the first choice, and jack stands seem to be more stable parked on gravel, but sometimes a softer surface is unavoidable. Here\u2019s another hint \u2013 the 8 x 8 x 2 is the perfect size to store in the battery box.<\/p>\n<p>Have any usage hints of your own?
