Devices for supporting HVAC condensing units outdoors in high velocity wind zones and methods of manufacture and use thereof

A kit comprising:

• a device configured for supporting an HVAC condensing unit, wherein the device includes a first unit and a second unit,
• wherein the first unit includes a top side and a wall, wherein the top side includes a first inner surface, wherein the wall is hosted via the first inner surface such that the first inner surface and the wall form an inner space, wherein the wall includes a first side and a second side, wherein the first inner surface extends between the first side and the second side, wherein the first side includes a first slot dipping toward the first inner surface and a second slot dipping toward the first inner surface, wherein the second side includes a third slot dipping toward the first inner surface and a fourth slot dipping toward the first inner surface, wherein the first side opposes the second side such that the first slot opposes the third slot and the second slot opposes the fourth slot;
• wherein the second unit includes a bottom side and a plurality of spikes, wherein the bottom side includes a second inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the outer surface includes a first channel and a second channel, wherein the first channel and the second channel extend parallel to each other, wherein the spikes are hosted via the second inner surface,
• wherein the spikes extend toward the first inner surface into the inner space as the second inner surface faces the first inner surface when (a) the first channel is co-aligned with the first slot and the third slot, (b) the second channel is co-aligned with the second slot and the fourth slot and (c) the HVAC condensing unit is supported via the top side such that (i) the inner space extends between the HVAC condensing unit and the second inner surface, (ii) the spikes extend between the HVAC condensing unit and the second inner surface, and (iii) the top side extends between the HVAC condensing unit and the bottom side;
• and
• a container containing the device.

A method comprising:

• causing a user to access a device configured to support an HVAC condensing unit, wherein the device comprising:
• a top side including a first inner surface;
• a wall hosted via the first inner surface such that the first inner surface and the wall form an inner space, wherein the wall includes a first side and a second side, wherein the first inner surface extends between the first side and the second side, wherein the first side includes a first slot dipping toward the first inner surface and a second slot dipping toward the first inner surface, wherein the second side includes a third slot dipping toward the first inner surface and a fourth slot dipping toward the first inner surface, wherein the first side opposes the second side such that the first slot opposes the third slot and the second slot opposes the fourth slot;
• a bottom side including a second inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the outer surface includes a first channel and a second channel, wherein the first channel and the second channel extend parallel to each other;
• and
• a plurality of spikes hosted via the second inner surface;
• and
• causing the user to operate the device such that the spikes extend toward the first inner surface into the inner space as the second inner surface faces the first inner surface and (a) the first channel is co-aligned with the first slot and the third slot, (b) the second channel is co-aligned with the second slot and the fourth slot and (c) the HVAC condensing unit is supported via the top side such that (i) the inner space extends between the HVAC condensing unit and the second inner surface, (ii) the spikes extend between the HVAC condensing unit and the second inner surface, and (iii) the top side extends between the HVAC condensing unit and the bottom side.
