We have about 30 feet of bumpy and uneven gravel driveway. Would an industrial strength one be better? Also I need a rough tread so my parents don't f

I think you woud prefer the industrial carpeted version. I would also suggest to try to level the terrain as the mat may cause pooling of water along the surface if the path/driveway is too bumpy.

We have the small one on our porch . It is great..... Not slippery. I have no idea how it would be on a gravel driveway.

I suggest contacting Heat Trak directly. My first thought is that the gravel will ruin/puncture the Heat Trak. I ddn't find it slippery at all and I did not secure it so I could move it a bit. Most likely I'll add a 2nd this year. One idea although it may be costly, would be to put radiant heat under the gravel walkway if you really want to melt the snow and ice. But I would think gravel would provide an uneven surface which would be less dangerous(?) than a smooth surface.

We found it to be so slick and dangerious that we returned it. Once wet, kids could not stay upright on it reliably.

I bought the carpeted version, but it's only designed for a small area, like an entranceway. I think your size project needs a professional, buried installation. I don't believe this would work very safely on an uneven surface and you would create as many problems as you would solve.

I don't think this will do it. You really are going to have to bury heat wire. It's a big project and pretty expensive. We did it and it works great but Amazon does not sell the equipment as it really requires a lot of wiring knowledge or an electrician.

No different than cement driveways....I would sweep any pebble debris away first before use. If your driveway is sloped...this thing flies...

I think the gravel would tear up the material with wear and tear. I have mine on wooden floors in the house.

Not the best for that. On very smooth pavement may be ok but my mom had a hard time on sidewalks. It's definitely more of an indoor device. Perhaps someone can fit it w better tires? Hope that helps

We've used ours on our driveway/sidewalks and not had any trouble. If you have hardwood floors, just be sure to wipe off the wheels bc any grains/dirt that embeds in the rubber wheels tends to scratch the floor.

I can't answer about the efficacy of this tool on gravel driveways because I'm just now trying to decide which one to buy, But as the owner of a gravel driveway, I can tell you that Roundup or similar is the easiest way of getting rid of driveway weeds. A squeeze bottle on a driveway is a recipe for carpal tunnel problems tho, too much square footage. So think about hiring a lawn person with a backpack or buying similar for yourself.

I have a gravel driveway and I just tilt it a little so it doesn't remove the snow all the way down to the gravel. Otherwise it will throw the gravel, which does happen once in a while.

I don't believe you can adjust. The impeller is plastic too, so I wouldn't use it on a gravel driveway. It's effective on small jobs and up to maybe 5" of snow.

I would not trust this to move dirt and rocks. They do make another plow that is a bit more expensive for that. Your local tractor dealer should have it or be able to order it.

we have a moderately sloped driveway... it goes up it just fine (though, certainly slower than it does going back down the driveway!).

It has pneumatic wheels so it should be pretty easy to use on gravel, although I haven't tried it. It is very easy to maneuver.

I roll it across my grass backyard all the time. The only issue is the solid wheels, stuff can bounce out of the tray. I'm not sure how it would be on a gravel driveway. The wheels might sink in depending on the weight it is carrying.

I think you could but I never tried. The bigger wheels should make it easier than the small wheel. Uneven dirt and grass yes. Real loose gravel could be a problem.

Yes, though I would recommend trying out cinder block on top if you really want it to dig in. I have not done this, but at reasonable speeds they should ride fine.

My wife has used hers on gravel and in our yard. It will work in loose gravel but the harder packed it is the better. I guess it just depends on how rough the road is but I'll bet that if any walker will work, this one will.

I think it would best for hard surfaces. The tires are small and when we did take them on a trail, we lifted them over obstacles. Gravel roads should be fine as long as they are not to loose.

We have a gravel driveway. It is easier to pull it backwards down the driveway than it is to push it through the semi-loose gravel.
