Portable Patio© - Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS A PORTABLE PATIO©?

The Portable Patio© is an innovative system of large, plastic tiles that interlock without the use of tools to form
a stable, dry and attractive deck of virtually any size. The tiles can be assembled quickly and easily yet can be
stored in a compact space using the convenient storage tote bag. Use the Portable Patio© to enhance your
outdoor living space while adding a touch of practical elegance at the same time.

The tile squares are approximately 2-feet square, 1-inch thick and made from a tough, durable and stain-
proof material similar to that used for pick-up bed liners. The tiles are available in either a very attractive
medium grey or light tan color and have a non-skid textured surface. They will not absorb moisture, odor or
dirt. To clean, simply sweep or hose off.

A large, water-resistant tote bag for storage is provided with each Portable Patio©.. The attractive, slate-grey
tote bag holds up to eight platforms and weighs less than 25 pounds when full. The tote is made from a PVC-
coated 600 denier polyester material that is tough and essentially water-proof. This means that you can store
tiles when wet or dirty and not create a mess inside your coach or RV. The tote can be cleaned by simply
hosing it out and left open to dry.

When it comes to an outdoor deck, who said you can’t take it with you? With a Portable Patio© you can! The
patio assembles in only minutes so it is easy to use while on the go. Use the patio under awnings, screened
porches or “under the stars”. Tough enough for chairs, tables and other outdoor furniture…even your grill.
Upscale your outdoor living experience easily, quickly and affordably.

IS A PORTABLE PATIO© HARD TO ASSEMBLE?

Assembling a Portable Patio© is simplicity itself. Each tile comes with two sets of side tabs that interlock with
matching recesses in the adjoining tile(s). You start in one corner of the patio and lay the first tile down on the
ground. The next tile is positioned so that its tabs fit into the recesses of the previous tile. And that is all there
is to it! You expand your Portable Patio© to whatever size you want (in two foot increments) by simply laying
down additional tiles. So simple, even a grandchild can do it!

Taking apart a Portable Patio© is just the reverse. If the weather is inclement or you don’t have time to clean
the tiles, then don’t worry. Just put the tiles inside the waterproof storage tote and clean them later. The tote
will keep your coach or RV clean and dry.

The Portable Patio© can be assembled on dirt, grass, sand or concrete. Be sure to pick up any large stones
or other items so that your patio can lay flat and smooth. Each 6-tile pack covers an area of 4 feet by 6 feet (24
square feet); an 8-tile pack covers an area of 4 feet by 8 feet (32 square feet).

HOW DO I CLEAN A PORTABLE PATIO©?

A Portable Patio© will not absorb dirt, stains or water. Cleaning is simply a matter of sweeping it off. Or, if you
prefer, you can hose the patio clean and it will look just like new. The integrated drainage channels will
quickly dry the patio so you can use it almost immediately.

WHAT SIZE PORTABLE PATIO© SHOULD I BUY?

The Portable Patio© comes in a “6-pack” or an “8-pack”. The “6-pack” (6 patio tiles with the tote bag) is
suitable for a walkway (assembled size 2-ft by 12 ft) or a small patio. The assembled size of the patio would
be 4-ft by 6-ft and will accommodate a chair and a small pedestal table. The “8-Pack” (8 patio tiles with the
tote bag) will make a patio 4-ft by 8-ft and will accommodate a couple of chairs and a small pedestal table.

Many folks will purchase several 6-packs, 8-packs or mix and match to get the patio size to suit their needs.
Remember, the tiles can be assembled to any size (in increments of 2-feet) or shape. Your patio does not
necessarily have to square or rectangular – an “L” shape patio can easily be assembled.

WHAT IS A PORTABLE PET PATIO©?

Just as you will become to appreciate your Portable Patio© as a superior outdoor living surface, so will your
pet. Our Portable Pet Patio© includes four tiles and an easy-to-assemble wire pet exercise pen. When
assembled, the portable pet patio© with exercise pen is 4-feet by 4-feet square and 24-inches high. The pen
has a hinged door that features two “dog proof” latches for added security and strength. The attractive wire
panels are acrylic coated gold zinc that provides a long lasting finish. No tools are required to assemble the
exercise pen and it takes only a few minutes. When disassembled, the entire system fits inside our large tote
bag and weighs about 35 pounds. A fabric sun screen top, plus other accessories, are also available for the
Portable Pet Patio©.
