Does 14 RESA require concrete pad

No it does not. It comes mounted on a composite pad and can be placed on crushed stone per the installation manual. I placed mine on a concrete pad as I wanted to give it more ground clearance and it looked better on the pad in the location I placed it.

I do not have concrete floors, but I have used on tile with grout and it did work, for under baseboards I applied more than once.

No ... in fact my arbor, which has now been installed for about 9 months, seems quite substantial using the posts that were packaged with it. Plus, in this part of the coast we have very sandy soil. Unless there is a compelling reason, concrete would not be necessary.

My husband bought this product to put under our above ground pool. The pool is on a concrete patio with rubber tile on the concrete, then the gorilla pad. We wanted something to kind of level out the bottom & protect the rubber lining of the pool. The pad is as thick as good grade felt, used for sewing, but is strong, ours does not tear. We do have a problem, we cut the pad about 3-4 inches larger than the pool & it is green with that slimy mold. We haven't tried to clean it so don't know if it will come clean. Otherwise we are satisfied with the Gorilla Pad.

Why not go to the web site. My gate does not use those pads so ther than the companies web site I would not have a clue.

I own a pool store. We used the pad over a sand bottom because there were a lot of rocks mixes with the sand we did not have the time to pick out all the rock fo r our sample pools, we used it on 2 pools and they have been up for 2 years now and I have had no problem. It is thick and can be reused, but if you are using it for an "Intex" pool you do not need something that heavy duty, only for real steel pools. I hope this helped.

It's a pad. Does not harden. I use fixodent to keep it in place. soften it and trim it to fit my lowers. Works for me.

you should wait 30 days before application so concrete is done reacting, I believe for absorption rate it should be dry as well

We installed our pool on our concrete patio. We put rubber tiles on the patio, an old pool liner cut to fit our new pool, then the gorilla pad & it worked great. Only problem we had was living in Houston, TX & the rain & humidity, the pad got green mold & it would not come out. We do think the gorilla pads are the way to go if you are putting your pool on either ground or on concrete.

Hi,Yes, it shouldn't bunch at all on concrete. Concrete and/or hardwood are probably the best surfaces to use our Barracuda exercise mat on, as these surfaces will limit shifting and bunching the most. Thank you for your interest in our large exercise mat and have a wonderful day!TashaSquare36

The unit does not come with a pad. I tamped a 4-6 inch base of gravel and poured a 4 inch pad for the generator to sit on. It seems to work fine in Northern NY.

Short answer is yes. Further, depending on the finish of the "concrete", it could be the ideal surface. Interior concrete finishes like those found in garages or warehouse floors are really not abrasive. Blacktop is typically not very abrasive. Asphaults vary. Exterior concretes vary, but some can be very abrasive.That said, rope of this sort only comes in three common varieties: poly dac, cotton, or manila. Each has pros and cons. If the concrete is your primary concern, this rope should be as good as the next in that aspect. Also good for outdoors because of moisture resistance...for more details, see my review.

If you go to their website, you can download a pdf of the instructions. The instructions contain the exact dimensions you need for whichever type of base you are building. I built a concrete pad as per their dimensions and mine turned out great. Good luck.

I used the pads I got on marble. Not sure how they would hold up on concrete.

it comes with a the pad but i wouldnt buy it. Its a piece of junk, at 90 psi it acts like it is getting about 30

I went 20" deep. I made a 25 foot square foot pad of concrete and made a square (part of the pad) at the edge of the concrete pad. The square is 12" × 12" . You can get a cardboard concrete tube from Lowes or Home Depot in different diameters. I would use at least a 12" diameter if doing it this way and go 20" deep. Hope this helps!!

Barry if you use the water I don't see any problem. I have done about 60 SF of counter top and about 30 LF of 4" edge. From the appearance and feel of the pads they should easily do another job probably several more. I started out using the cup wheel to aggressivly get down to the aggregate - after doing about half of the top I started using the 50 grit pad as it is easier to control the depth and not nearly as aggressive. I have some pictures of each stage if you are interested. A word of caution - depending on how you plan to seal and finish your tops I would caution you about going beyond the 200 grit. Remember you MUST seal concrete or it will stain badly with spills - grease etc. I'm using a water based acrylic sealer which can be applied even after 800 - 1000 grit polishing. If you haven't already poured your tops make sure you use a good concrete mix. I used the big box 4000 PSI mix and added about 12 % portland type II cement to each bag. That gives you a denser concrete that is easier to finish and slightly more impervious top. I'll gladly answer any additional questions.
