I am assuming that putting an absorbent pad, or newspaper down under the grass would be possible. Is this correct? Has anyone tried it and did it work

I have a senior dog w/mobility problems so this is a constant fixture in my home. The grass piece is not permanently attached to the tray. I put puppy pads underneath the grass. It works well. However, I take the grass piece outside and hose it down at least once a week. During bad weather I take it to the shower and rinse it out there.

Well..although it does come with a pan, I did use potty pads under it. Which does work. I however didn't have any luck with this product and returned it. The grass is not very grassy feeling. I plan to get a piece that is more like grass than plastic.

Yes it would work. I haven't found it to be necessary. It's pretty amazing. We have had not odor issues. My husband just hoses out the try periodically.

I would NOT place this directly on any surface outside. But my daughter loves to take it outside. So we allow it on the GRASS only ... with something underneath to protect the plastic from rocks or sticks. I would suggest large towels or a plastic tarp to preserve the plastic coating.

Because reviews are mixed in regard whether the bedpad is waterproof or not, i would not trust it. I do not own one, but I recently purchased a new bed and that cover was offered as part of the package. I declined to have it, but I was shown a sample and the waterproof element was demonstrated. From what I could surmise, the pad may indeed be waterproof, but with use, it may develop random weaknesses and allow liquid to pass through. My suggestion would be to purchase some waterproof underpads (often sold for incontinent patients) for the bed, and place a pad or two UNDERNEATH the 'waterproof' mattress pad. That way you would have a little extra insurance against a 'pee bed'. The pads would last a long time I would think. You could also fold a shower curtain or plastic table cover to the appropriate size needed and use that under the pad... you can get the thin cheap ones at the dollar store.

No, not if you don't want to. But it would probably be beneficial to dig out the area under the bottom tier, get rid of the grass and amend the soil in that area since it's shallow there. Then cover the entire area of the planter with newspaper or cardboard. Set up the planted on top and then fill with soil. This will help supress weeds and grass underneath and will eventually break down and amend the soil.

I used mine outside just laid a thick tarp down under it and it worked perfectly! :)

Yes and I didn't put sand under my pool just cleared the grass, that is the main reason I bought the pad and really like it. I put the ground cover down first then the gorilla pad.

I haven't done that, but I suppose if the grass was long and fairly dry it would work. I wouldn't do regular clippings--that would likely clog the mechanism.

I don't think it would work very well quite frankly. You'd really have to line with some plastic but that wouldn't allow the water to drain causing other issues. I suspect the soil would leak from the bed if it's on a concrete pad though without something to retain it.

How do you insert pads underneath? In other words, place and remove. I want to use this to move my hydoponic vertical garden on my outside deck which has an all-weather rubberized finish. Would this work?

I would agree with Tina L. On the grass the legs tend to settle into the ground, do not slide and I would consider it safe, but unless there is a way to anchor it to the cement, I would not recommend it.

Not a good idea. They don't recommend even using it in grass. Still is cool, though.

No, I didn't use on grass, but I would suggest you us a cloth runner to prevent slippage.

I haven't tried it, but I don't think it would work well in an established lawn. It is designed to cultivate and de-weed gardens and needs to penetrate beneath the surface of the soil in order to "work" properly.

I can see why you would wonder! I gave ours to a charity because our dog never did use it. We waited too late to start her going anywhere but on real grass. I'd write to the company, they seemed helpful when I needed a hint on how to convince my dog to use it, tho nothing worked.

no this does not come with a pad...so it's only able to be used on the beach or very soft grass. The material on the bottom inside is a grey plastic-tarp feel which is fine with a beach towel over it (that's what we used it for).

I only used this product in my bathroom and also in my washing machine. If my outdoor fabric cushions had mold, I would use this product on them, with a small test first. Inside cushions..... well if I had a way to wash the cushions, and the other alternative was tossing them, then I would give it a try. This stuff really does work. Good Luck.

As long as the gound is level you could put it on grass. You would need to put down plastic or root guard to make sure grass doesn't grow through though.
