Do I need ground sand if I am on Desert Sand? Can I just use the Gorilla pad without bringing in special sand?

I live in a sandy area also. I did not bring in extra sand. Just dig out any grass, spray the area with weed killer, level the ground and lay the pad. Gorilla Pad is all that!

I would say yes as long as the ground sand density is not like pebbles size..... If it's granular it should not be a problem

Should work okay as long as you comb the sand and make sure there's no larger stones. Also works best if your using coving as well.

You don't need a thermarest pad with this because it's a hammock thereby eliminating ground pads altogether. If you really want to keep warm just wrap up in a good wool blanket and climb into it.They do sell a system similar to that on their website though so check that out if you are really concerned about it.

You don't have to, but it's better with one. The pad that comes with it is hard and uneven.

The sand is not provided. You can either add sand OR water. I added water to mine, and it works great.

It's fairly dusty, and you would spend a LOT of $ to get enough for a sandbox. So, no. Check at Home Depot or look up play sand in a search engine.

I wouldn't recommend this sand for a sandbox. It is a much finer grain than what is usually found in a sandbox. It may cause respritory issues.

It works well with dirt and mud, so I'd assume it also works for sand. No sand here.....

I'm sure it would be fine to use. It's really fine sand and looks beautiful. Not sure if this helps. Goodluck! :)

I have a sand filter and there is a screen it passes through before the filter. If you are set up similar to mine, Yes you can just utilize the one before the filter. Hope that helps.

While in the wild, I simply go to a nearby stream or sand bed and use the sand the Earth provided to clean off the black. As one person already said, the black does make it conduct heat faster and so I don't worry to much about it most of the time.

Not sure; my guess is you would need some clamps for the discs; but a sand bag is need for the legs to be grounded

I put down the sand packed it well, the laid the Gorilla pad down and the the tarp the pool provided. I had a few weeds grow through both. it really surprised me. it does how ever provide a good pad for the feet in the pool.

It's great for the sand. It has no padding, so if you lay it over sticks or pine straw, you'll feel it. It would not provide protection from Burrs.

I do not think so because the sand sticks together too much. This would make it difficult to draw in. Additionally, after you take your hand away from it, the sand continues to shift slightly. You probably want regular sand.

a liner pad isn't mandatory, but it is recommended to help undergrowth in your yard that would puncture the liner. And if you get an overlap liner, you will need coping strips to hold it on.

under the liner to help keep rocks or sticks from coming up through the liner. It also makes the bottom feel a little spongier. The liner we bought at the same time was crap and we have to replace it after a year, but I am considering another gorilla pad.
