 We in stalled one of those on a concrete sidewalk and we still had to shim=
 it up to get the doors to work.=C2=A0 These are light, durable and inexpen=
sive but not very sturdy.=C2=A0 You can probably get by with scraping the d=
irt flat but over the years and a few rainstorms dirt can flow and you may =
have to tug the get the doors open and closed.
Still might be less work than pouring a slab.
