I'm wanting to use this on our tiled patio... has anyone found any mats to put under it to avoid slipping?

Put a rubber mat under this item and it won't slip. Go to amazon.com and search under "rubber mat". There are quite a few to choose from. Size 36"x36" would be just about perfect.

I used mine over concrete slab but tested them over hardwood and ceramic tile. They worked fine, no slippage. Although I can't say from personal experience, I would guess the carpet would have to be a very flat, low pile. I would also think that a workout with a lot of intense foot work might tend to separate the tiles.

I have found that tucking it under edge of desk at one corner does the trick. For he most part it doesn't slide around much and certainly not when seated. Great mat and good value!

We have a garden tub in our apartment and it is what I would call, "mildly textured" and the mat works PERFECTLY!!! Our son loves it and we love it too! No slips during bath time! The trick is to fill tub with a bit of water then press firmly. Also, pull it up after every bath and let it air dry over the tub. ENJOY!!!

I would try the rubber backing you buy to put under rugs. Try gluing pieces of this on to the ramp where it meets the floor. Put it on the underneath part to make sure it doesn't stop the ramp from sliding in and out when you want it to adjust. Small container of Gorilla glue and a small size of rubber backing should work.

No. The mat does not slip on our hard floors. It stays put unless we move it.

i currently use mine outdoors on my concrete covered patio. I it would need to be on a hard surface indoor or out. If outside a good wind will kick up the mat along with the ball return unless you use doublesided tape to keep it down. The mat also get debris stuck to it outside in the wind but a broom can take care of any stuck leaves/etc. hope this helps

My cat just stands entirely on top of it, or braces his back legs against it so it doesn't slide. You could probably try putting something heavy inside or one of those non-slip mats for rugs underneath it!

I have mine on a 1/2 Inch thick rubber mat and it is fine. The problem I have with the unit is that it sways and wobbles a bit so I secured mine to the wall studs with some sturdy hardware and brackets. It would sway on cement as well before I set the rubber mat under it. The only problem I see is that your carpet would be crushed where it sits (it has 4 rubber feet) when you decide to move it.

Yes, I just put a very thin layer of foam behind it to keep it from slipping...works great for me!

Mine is on concrete flooring, but I would suggest a very firm mat to prevent rocking while pedaling. Skip those cheap soft foam interlocking mats you can get at local home improvement stores and opt for a firmer "horse stall" rubber mat...one 4x6ft mat would be perfect.

I use this puzzle mat in combination with a no skid under-carpet mat. If you just use the puzzle mat on its own it will still slip around. The mat is mostly useful for its padding. It's pretty thick.

Our steps ere outside our travel trailer during a couple of storms, not once did they feel slippery. The top surfaces are textured and have lots of dimples. Extra protection could be had by adding non skid strips (self-adhesive),available at Amazon or any local hardware store

the area under the table gets hot.i have it on a stone patio. perhaps you could place a flagstone or pavers underneath to protect a deck.inquires to the company might be a good idea.

Use a slipping mat. The stuff that usually goes under the rug to keep it from sliding. That should help

Hi, Pam, if you can't find actual rubber bottoms for it specifically, what about cutting pieces of the stuff you would buy to put in the bottom of cabinets so that dishes won't slip? You know, it is kind of like rubbery mesh and should be easy to work with. You could even put a whole piece of it under a small throw rug under the ladder, too, to protect the floor.Good luck.

My experience with this mat is that you would not slip until it gets really wet!
