Do you mean that the whole pad is 24" or just that the bottom of the bin be that high above groung level? Seems like we put enough sand/gravel in the center under the bulk of the pad so we had about 6" thick pad but with about 2' at the edges. 24" seems a little over kill for all over thickness and about 3times the concrete expense if not needed for strength.
