This will be used on a concrete pad. What type of weight system is best for this?

Proper anchoring system selection is your responsibility. Heavy duty anchors can be bought separately at your local hardware store and are not included with your order. If you want to anchor to concrete, you will need to purchase the correct anchoring system. You can check with your local hardware store for more information.

I am not sure since I have never used either of those mats. I only use this in the basement on carpet so it is enough cushion for me. I doubt it would be that good on concrete though.

My wife uses hers on a cement basement floor for P90X workouts and I haven't heard any complaints. If 10 pound weights sit on it overnight, they'll leave an indentation that is semi-permanent, so that speaks to their thickness and cushion. We ended up with two set to get to the size she wanted for the movement exercises...

I have the Metolius simulator on it, and it's pretty heavy. I personally would not trust a thin piece of plywood because that plywood should support your weight + the holds and the board. The board is probably around 5-10 lbs.

No, I would not recommend you doing that with that much weight overhead. Post need to be set in ground properly with concrete if you plan too add that kind of weight overhead and it is safer for you and your family.

It will do everything you want, with the right bits. A 1" pad is not an issue. I use it to put 4" holes through concrete using a core bit.I'm an electrical contractor. I drive ground rods in with it too.

I used a 6" x 18" round concrete pad. Drilled holes in line with the base holes and used concrete anchors to screw the base to the pad. It has never moved in over a year. Put a rock garden around the pad and you never see it.

i would suggest get appropriate size concrete anchor screw if you want to mount on concrete floors. take the bottom plate off and take it to hard ware store to match it with the largest size anchor bolts you can get.

I'd say at least 40-50 pounds by itself. Bits are heavy themselves. It works pretty good and I've used it a few times breaking up concrete. It was a good investment for me.

I have no idea what the weight restrictions are for these pads. I think that would be a question for the manufacturer.

I own a pad. I like it a lot. However, it will not work on hard surface. It only works on semi soft seating.

I put mine on a deck foundation using 2 by 6's for support and then deck boards on that. I did put 4X4's in concrete on all 4 corners and bolted the 2X6's to the 4X4's. Make your wood deck sturdy and keep working to keep it level and you should have no problems supporting the weight.

I think the concrete companies put about a pound of fibers per cubic yard of concrete, which is 27 cubic feet. You may want to call a local company to verify the amount. I can't remember how much the package you purchased weights. Good luck!

If the water's not deep this should work o.k. But the felt pad seems unnecessary if the surface is concrete.

Any system will work. All you need is a sturdy bar or beam or pipe or anything similar that will safety hold you weight. You fit the straps around it and off you go.

Probably not. Your footing probably has steel in it which will require something a bit heavier.

i used Quikrete 80 lb. Concrete Mix Model # 110180 or if you want a smoother top finish u can add Quikrete60 lb. Sand/Topping Mix Model # 110360 and mine held up ok. Just dont rush it and make it to dry or it will crumble.
