Rebar reinforced ? The glass is going to be another ton on top of that. 7000 pounds before rocks is heavy! I would consult a structural engineer about the concrete pad that really may not be enough as crazy as it seems lol.Also i the my basement should be able to handle the weight its either 8 or 10 inch concrete pad
