What is Dragon Pad?
The easy-to-install pad that's engineered to resist environmental exposure, support industrial weight, and provide lasting durability.
ABOUT DRAGON PAD
THE FOUNDATION RETHOUGHT.
Dragon Pad is an engineered foundation system designed to give hot tubs, swim spas, outdoor equipment, and other demanding installations a cleaner, faster alternative to traditional poured concrete.
By replacing the excavation, forming, pouring, and cure time associated with a conventional slab, Dragon Pad helps simplify the installation process while providing a stable, professional foundation built for long-term use. Its modular design allows the system to support a range of applications and installation requirements without turning every project into a concrete project.
FAQs
-
Dragon Pad is designed for your needs. You can determine if you would like the pad to be the exact size of your spa, or larger for other purposes.
-
Our warranty is 15 years.
-
Standard sized pads require a 2-3 week lead time, custom orders take about 3-4 weeks depending on size and slope.
-
Dragon Pad does not, in itself, level any sloped area. We are able to cut sloped bases. The most common use for the sloped base is to level out a standard patio, poured at a 2% grade. However, we can also make custom slopes at a lower or higher grade if necessary.
-
Similar to ground preparation for a concrete slab, the ground should be flat and compact. Six inches of compact gravel is highly recommended.
-
Adding Dragon Pad under a hot tub on a deck or patio will keep from having direct contact with the surface material. Dragon Pad is completely waterproof and will not grow weeds, like you will often see in the cracks of concrete or between the boards of a deck. Also, Dragon Pad has a noise-dampening effect due to its makeup and reduces the vibration from the hot tub jets.
-
Dragon Pad is extremely resistant from temperatures ranging from -60F to 175F.
-
Dragon Pad is manufactured by Dragon Jacket, which has been building structural bases for industrial applications for nearly 12 years. These structural bases, which are built the same as Dragon Pad, have been under large water and chemical tanks, resisting all of the elements for over a decade, and still going strong.
