singel - "coll.: rounded pebbles (flint stones or small boulders or shingle stones)"
makadam - "coll.: crushed stone with a cross-section of 2 to 5 cm used especially for hardening road surfaces; also about road surfaces covered with such stone."
Where do they disagree?
Can't read a whole sentence which is also the first one? Or is your problem worse than that? Is it the abbreviation of especially that you don't understand in SAOB?
also (and nowadays especially) partly about pebbles or coarse gravel (or material consisting of both) of a specific dimension (nowadays usually a size of 100—7 mm in cross-section) and with technical use (especially as filler material in concrete), partly about (among other uses as a covering on paths or courtyards) coarse crushed gravel

SAOL apparently makes no distinction between single-particle crushed stone and single as they do in the construction industry. Just a quick Google search and you can see in retailers' price/product lists that they differentiate between macadam, single-particle crushed stone, and single. You asked what the difference was but can't handle the answer because an academic text doesn't say exactly the same as the industry that uses the raw material. If you order single but want something that can be padded/compacted, you're going to have a hell of a time.

If you tried to read really slowly in SAOB. Maybe, just maybe, you might be able to understand a bit more.
Feel free to read my post again. Preferably several times. Perhaps you understand what "do not quite agree" means?

Now, I haven't read slowly from SAOL, but maybe you could be kind and summarize what the academy thinks in everyday Swedish and organize a poll here on Byggahus so we can see if it aligns with common perception, which ought to be that macadam is a crushed material without a 0-fraction and singel is natural gravel without a 0-fraction.
If you would try to read really slowly aloud in SAOB.
Maybe, just maybe, you would be able to understand a little more.
Feel free to try to read my post again.

Perhaps then you will understand what "don't quite agree" means?
I don't understand why I deserve such a bad tone from you. You asked a question that I kindly answered.
But from your subsequent responses, it was very clearly a leading question. You found a text from a credible source and clearly asked the question to be able to come running with SAOB and play clever because your source shows the opposite of what everyone else implies between the two terms. I don't think you're a narcissist, but since you had a thought with the question from the start, where do you want to go with this?
I'm done with the discussion because it won't lead anywhere when you fully rely on SAOB and I on different experience.

I can't handle the discussion anymore because it won't lead anywhere when you're fully relying on SAOL and I'm on other experience.
I have consistently referred to SAOB.
Nothing else.
Why you claim that I would refer to "SAOL" is incomprehensible to me.
Back to the topic. Sketched a bit. The tiles are 400x400. The outdoor unit, which is 1050 wide, just fits. So I'm thinking of adding 3 columns with 50mm pieces to make it stand a bit more centered. I also want some margin in case the outdoor unit is replaced in the future. Nibe S2125-8, for example, is 1130mm and wouldn't fit on 1200mm.
It will surely be fine, I myself would have settled for a couple of tiles, maybe a bucket of gravel if the surface is uneven.
I am also considering just digging out and laying 4 tiles, one per leg, and then just laying 1-2cm of gravel so the tiles are covered. It will be a bit easier to do and if you need to raise a tile in the future, it will be easier.
I'm also thinking a bit about digging out and laying 4 slabs, one per leg, and then just laying 1-2cm of gravel so the slabs are covered. It's a bit easier to do and if you need to raise a slab in the future, it becomes simpler.
