can this be installed in a carpeted floor with padding and a wooden subfloor?

I don't see why not, but I would run the project by a flooring installation company first to make sure there aren't any potential glitches. An internet search on some of the DIY sites, and/or contacting the manufacturer directly is also an option.

I would say yes IF you trim the carpet around the flange down to the carpet "matt" the box itself has about a 3/4" - 1" adjustment.....

would not recommend you use them that way but I know there are few options for in floor plugs. Remember your carpet is stretched when it is installed. Cutting a large hole could cause problems. Talk to your carpet installer and if you do use themonly use them in a non foot traffic area. You could only put them under a table, chair, sofa ect.These are not for carpeted areas (unless the carpet is very thin) but the would be safer than cutting the carpet and pulling an electrical cord thru the hole

I would say that it could be. You would just need to take care to trim around it nicely or mount the faceplate over the carpet (may need to trim away a bit of the padding if it is too thick, which would also give the benefit of having it sit below the surface), but i see no reason why it could not be mounted over a carpeted floor. The faceplate mounts with four brass wood screws that are pretty long (~2 inches). If your carpet were deeper, the only thing you might need to do is buy longer screws.

Yes, I use this on a carpeted floor under an archway in place of expensive french doors. Just be sure it has a few curves in it so that it stays up better.

Yes, as long as you don't go over like 40 pounds. I personally wouldn't do it using all three sections per leg, maybe two tops. If it's a hard flat surface like wood flooring I real don't see a issue. I wouldn't do it on plush carpeting if you value that computer.

Yes. You probably don't need carpet specifically, as long as you're careful. I propped the bottom end up a bit with some of the packing foam, too. It would be difficult to install the feet any other way.

Yes! The type of screw (at least 2 1/2 inches minimum) use will depend on what lies underneath the carpet.

Possibly, but I doubt it. Suggest you put down a piece of carpet underneath.

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 so.. The carpet still too hard, yet, I would recommend to use a yoga mat..

I have hard wood floors and no carpet so am unable to answer your question.

Only if you have a piece cut to fit. I really like mine,but I am having trouble finding something to put on top to protect it. Someone suggested putting 20+20 floor tiles with felt pads . I don't know if that would work.

You might if you have hardwood. We live on the 2nd floor and my landlord lives below us. My son has been using his since october and he hasn't said anything about it. We have carpet though.

I have and wood floors so it's fine. If you have carpet... Hmmm. I say look elsewhere. Just FYI.

Yes , I use the stability mats even on a carpeted floor. The mats offer more than just stability , they also offer padding for the Total Gym.

yes, we actually have it on a wood floor. no problem. it would also sit nicely on carpet

The could be use for installation. The problem is the pad is not very thick

Yes- it can be mounted on carpet but check it often in case the carpet and pad have compressed so the tension is not as strong.

I do not have any wood floors.But I looked at the underside of the unit. It has the two large wheels in the rear, which have what appears to be a soft rubber replaceable tread (like a thin tire tread) on the outer part of the wheel. Those wheels should be fine. The front part of the unit slides on a thin plastic type strip which also appears to be replaceable. I would guess that as long as you do not have any gravel or small hard items that the plastic strip would push along in front of it, you would probably be OK.
