how do you stick this on a carpet?

I agree with the other two posts . . . double sided tape will not any benefit since if there is that much concern about it moving, carpet is not conducive enough to prevent it.

I don't think the adhesive would stick to carpet. I would recommend running the wire to the edge of the carpet and tucking it in rather than having the wire mold. Maybe covering the wire with an area rug would work too.

Agree with the other poster that if you flatten it well it will just lay there. You could screw it down but that would create a trip hazard and not add value.

I have hardwood floors. I purchased this to prevent pets from chewing my speaker wires. This product is so stiff and is coiled in a circle, that no tape except very thick special double sided tape from a hardware store would stick it down flat. That being said, I don't think this is made to stick to carpet. Find another solution. That's my advice. How these others "flattened it", so that you wouldn't trip on it, I cannot fathom. I worked on it for weeks before sticking it and it never flattened out. I have it across a doorway and do not want to trip on something sticking up like a hump in the doorway. I have hardwood floors.

Instructions say to put it on a solid surface and to avoid carpet. I have it on bath floor.

We also installed this on a cement slab & used 2" wide 3M carpet tape (it looks like clear packing tape that is sticky on both sides & comes on a roll), using a 2" long piece on each side of the 4 corners of the carpet tile squares, & another 2" piece in the center of each tile. We've had it down for several months now, in a very heavily used office room & we've had no issues with it coming up.

Place it on a solid surface with both caps on the rod and tap the top one with a hammer. I used a board placed on the floor.

Place the mat under the legs. My problem was that this mat won't stay in-place on carpet anyway.

I don't believe it has adhesive. Not ours, anyway. We use it on thin carpeting in our office, and it works just fine. We roll chairs over it, and it does not move and keeps its shape. Pretty sturdy, especially considering the plastic junk we used before purchasing this heftier rubber product.

Can I put this on the ceramic floor and doesn't slide off or only on the carpet?

Yes. You tighten it up with a huge threads on the inside of the pole. There is rubber on both ends that will keep it from sliding on the carpet. Because you will have it stretched tight into the ceiling and carpet it won't move. You'll end up with an indention on the carpet as if a heavy piece of furniture was setting there. The pole is easy to assemble and easy to move around until you find the perfect spot for it. We own 6 of them. I highly recommend it. The ones we have do not have any attachments...like arms...on the poles.

I didn't anchor mine to a wall and have carpet. It would lean backwards. An easy solution was to buy some shims, I picked up some plastic ones at a local hardware store and it fixed the problem and its sturdy how.

It comes with gaffer tape, and I have it on medium pile carpet. The tape moves a little bit with the carpet, but the strip doesn't move.

Peel off backing an stick to floor. Go from middle point on floor out towards walls. Very simple.

You just spray it on the carpet. It works but not as well as the Scotchgard that is professionally applied. However, it is much, much cheaper. It did not work that well on a jute carpet I have under my dining table.

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.

You could try to use double sided tape. But when it sweeps across the floor it might pop off.

There is a plastic thing at the bottom that helps attach to your carpet and keep it in place.

Simple solution to using it on carpet, go to Home Depot and purchase an appropriate sized (18x18) ceramic floor tile for $10. I've been using my scale on a tile on a carpeted floor for years.

I have mine on carpet and wanted to put some kind of slider under it. However, I found it too heavy (even empty!) to move easily since the unit spins but the bottom doesnʻt. So I left it as is. To move it, I empty it and then slowly push it using the base.
