I'm going to install an anchor pot at the end of each garage bay so I can pull a dead car in if I have to. The pots would be on the wall side, allowing me to pull the car all the way in. Standard 3 car garage, 4" slab.....What's the closest I should put these to the wall? I was thinking 12" leaves plenty of concrete all around each pot. Thanks.

Each bay is 19’ deep……5’ won’t work for me, lol. I think lift manufacturers call for a minimum of 12” from the edge. None of the anchor pot install manuals I’m seeing seem to cover this.

Minimum 2X the depth of the slab. Stresses radiate out from the bottom of the pot in the shape of a cone.
