aiden Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 Hey everyone! I'm currently waiting for delivery of my new 21" model, and was curious about what kind of flooring you have put this on? I know most people put these outside on a wood deck, which seems ideal, but in my instance I'm putting this on an outcropping from my concrete driveway. I don't want to needlessly scrape up the wheels on the rough surface, so I was curious what you thought I might want to put as an alternate surface instead. Plywood is an obvious choice, but it's so ugly. And anything untreated isn't going to last long in the weather. Any ideas? Interestingly enough, I have a BGE, and I never once have given a thought to wheeling that thing around on the concrete. I guess your priorities change a little when you're spending this much money.
tinyfish Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 Welcome. Will you be moving your KK a lot and how far are you moving it. My KK is on a concrete patio.
DennisLinkletter Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 Your concrete is fine.. They are high density black rubber wheels, I would not worry about them being scuffed, if fact they are hidden up in wheel wells and can’t be seen.
MacKenzie Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 Welcome,aiden:) I, too, am waiting the arrival of my 21 inch:)
CeramicChef Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Aiden - welcome to the KK family! Your wheels will be just fine on concrete. I've moved my KK BB 32", a very heavy KK, several times on concrete and the wheels are just like the day my KK rolled onto the patio. You'll soon learn your KK is really over engineered and just about bullet proof.
Cookie Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Ignore the inferior POSK #7 in this photo... When we lived in the USA, this was a purpose built area for my cooker. Just used these simple pavers that you can pick up at any of the big warehouse type hardware stores. I put them down on a bed of pea gravel and it was all boxed in with some landscaping timber to keep things from shifting around... Just an idea. 1
DaveyR Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 My 23" is just on our tiny concrete pad / back yard. I can roll astro fine but it dosnt get moved that often.
