A concrete base will work fine I put down 2 inches of sand which was real easy they don't shift at all and are solid

I used the tiles for an indoor application over concrete in an office bathroom. They seem to be fine.

Yes this should work as long as the concrete is at least 2.5 inchesto keep it from cracking.

They give you directions to put a floor down stone cement and wood. The floor is thin plastic a needs one of the three bottoms. I used patio brick as long as it's level your good

Sure you can! We didn't have solid space just grass so we didn't. If we have patio space we probably put on there. It does make for an easy time emptying the water right on to the grass and soil.

I installed this in my garden and not over concrete or tile. I have no problem since the water drains into the soil. I don't believe this is meant to be used over any type of pavement if one is concerned about water leakage. This has been the best thing I purchased for the garden. I made a herb garden and we enjoy it very much and so do our neighbors who help themselves to fresh organic basil. I covered the base with garden fabric to prevent weed growth.

I"m not an experte but I'd purchase a concrete sonotube to pour the concrete above the grade by another 12"-14" inches so it becomes flush with your bball pad. Make sure you're adding to the total concrete depth though, not just reducing the amount of concrete undergroud. i.e. i can't recall but if the set up calls for 48 inches below ground level, you still need 48" plus another 12-14" above. i'd also buy longer rebar so they extend from the bottom of the hole all teh way to underside of the base plate. i'd also let the concrete cure longer before installing the post. concrete gets stronger over time. 3 days is the minimum. I'd let it cure for a week. I"m not an experte but I'd purchase a concrete sonotube to pour the concrete above the grade by another 12"-14" inches so it becomes flush with your bball pad.

When putting your planter on the concrete patio you may need to put a landscape liner down first to keep the soil in. Other comment suggesting stone for drainage, that could be placed on top of the landscape liner, is a great idea.

Goes right over level concrete. I used floor leveler and a steel straightedge to make sure it was flat for the flooring (the degree of flatness you need depends on your flooring's tolerances, the underlayment doesn't care). My flooring was okay with 1/8" per 6 feet "out of level". This underlayment works great over concrete.

the area under the pool does need to be very level, I used sand on my first pool, but later took it out and poured a concrete slab to make it easier.

I think you would need to create a bottom of some sort or you will run the risk of leaking onto the patio. You might also consider adding peat moss regularly when you add other ingredients ...it absorbs a lot of moisture.

I don't recall if there were any type of footings (such as rubber or plastic) that would work well on a floor. Since I used it outside, I just pushed the ends right into the dirt. It might slide around too much or scratch a floor without any footing material. Probably should check description of what's included in the box, or go for it, and get creative...it would definitely be beautiful with some kind of pots (you could kind of hide the pots with various decor) filled with climbing roses/jasmine/tulle, etc. Good luck!

Most likely. There are drainage holes in the turf, but more a soil application. I wouldn't see any harm in putting it on concrete, it just may stay damp underneath and you would want to dry it out or check on it periodically.

On top of any flat, level surface is perfect. Definitely no need to put anything down on the concrete. Mine is built directly on the ground, and the surface is level but not completely perfectly flat, and it fit together perfectly and the doors operate perfectly. It's not as fussy as some seem to indicate. Any concrete surface that's even close to flat will be just fine.

If you go to their website, you can download a pdf of the instructions. The instructions contain the exact dimensions you need for whichever type of base you are building. I built a concrete pad as per their dimensions and mine turned out great. Good luck.

You would want some kind of foam or inflate able mattress under it. Concrete floors are what they are... I love this product and used it many times last summer while camping.

I do not have concrete floors, but I have used on tile with grout and it did work, for under baseboards I applied more than once.

We set ours up on a paver patio - but patios are (or should be) naturally sloped away from the house. The result is it's not level as the water level on one side is lower (near the house). We set it up on several indoor/outdoor "carpets" and it works fine. Next time, I'd like to level the area out a bit with sand, although that sounds like a lot more work.

Nope. You need to be able to push the end of the umbrella into sand or grass and then the same for the metal pieces that hold down the sides. Wouldn't work on concrete.
