Can the platforms be installed on concrete?
Yes. A VetChoice Kennel Platform deck on concrete will provide a warmer surface during the winter and a cooler surface during the summer because of the underbody platform air chambers that trap insulating air. Also, older pets will appreciate the more “forgiving” surface the platforms provide over hard concrete. In most instances, you do not have to screw the platforms together when installed on concrete. You just tile the platforms to the final size of the deck. However, if you are concerned that your pet is an aggressive chewer or digger and may lift a platform, then screw the platforms together using #12 3/4-inch stainless steel screws. These screws are available on our web site or from local hardware and home supply stores. You can always quickly remove the screws when moving the platforms for the occasional thorough cleaning.
