Why Reinforced trailer pads beatS poured concrete every time

Skip the permits, skip the wait, get your trailer set up today

Setting up an RV, mobile home, or storage container? You've probably heard you need a poured concrete foundation. But here's the thing: there's a faster, cheaper, and smarter solution that most people don't know about, reinforced trailer pads from Rocky Mountain Concrete.

No building permits. No weeks of waiting. No cracked foundations after the first winter. Just solid, reliable support you can install in seconds.

The problem with poured concrete foundations

Let's be honest, poured concrete sounds like the "proper" way to do things. But for trailer and mobile home owners, it creates more headaches than it solves.

"I'm tired of waiting weeks for concrete to cure"

You need to excavate, set forms, pour the concrete, and then wait. And wait. And wait some more. Most poured concrete needs at least 7 days to cure before you can put any weight on it, and up to 28 days to reach full strength. That's nearly a month before your trailer is ready to use. Here at Rocky Mountain Concrete, we have done the leg-work for you. All of the appropriate admixtures and curing have been completed for you.

"My poured foundation cracked after one winter"

Here's what many contractors won't tell you: poured concrete is vulnerable to Canada's freeze-thaw cycles. Water seeps into the concrete, freezes, expands, and cracks your foundation. One harsh winter is all it takes to create expensive problems.

And here's the kicker: poured concrete requires a building permit in most areas because it's considered a permanent structure. That means paperwork, inspections, fees, and delays.

The Rocky Mountain Concrete Solution: Reinforced Trailer Pads

This Our 24" x 24" reinforced trailer pads are engineered specifically for Canadian conditions. Here's what makes them the smarter choice

NO Building Permit required

Because trailer pads are considered a temporary structure, you skip all the red tape. No permits, no inspections, no waiting for approval. Just order your pads and get started.

Install in seconds, not weeks

Seriously. Place them on level ground, and you're done. No mixing, no curing, no contractors. Your trailer can be set up the same day your pads arrive.

built for Canadian winters

We reinforce each pad with two pieces of rebar in an X-pattern for maximum strength. More importantly, we add a micro air entrainment chemical to the concrete mix. This creates tiny air pockets that give water somewhere to expand during freeze-thaw cycles—protecting your pads from cracking year after year.

superior drainage

Unlike a solid concrete slab, individual pads allow water to drain naturally between them. No pooling, no moisture problems, no foundation rot.

stackable and adjustable

Got uneven ground? No problem. Stack pads to create a level base without expensive excavation work.

relocatable and reusable

Moving your trailer to a new spot? Take your pads with you. Try doing that with poured concrete.

The Smart Choice for RV Owners, Mobile Home Parks, and Contractors

Our reinforced trailer pads aren't just for RVs. Contractors use them for storage containers, temporary structures, and light equipment foundations. Mobile home parks rely on them for quick, code-compliant installations. Agricultural operations use them for everything from machinery pads to livestock shelters.

And with a lifespan of 50-100 years, you're making a one-time investment that will outlast most trailers, RVs, and mobile homes.

The bottom line? Our pads are faster, simpler, and more affordable than poured concrete, without sacrificing strength or durability. You get professional-grade support without the professional-grade headaches.
