can this be placed on concrete or is it just made for grass and dirt?

I set mine up on a concrete patio to see if I could fit my tent underneath it and it seemed to work o.k. like that. I don't know if it would withstand any wind to speak of, though.

As it is, out of the box, it has to be staked down so it won't work on concrete without some sort of additional hardware.

It requires stacks hammered in the ground all the way around the bottom plus 4 outter stacks on the corner. With the stacks in place, ours has been ok on some pretty windy days in Oklahoma.

I suppose it could be placed on cement, though I have mine on a gravel-soil mix that was an old driveway. If you only want shallow-rooted plants (i.e. not tomatoes) it could work. If the cement is level, there shouldn't be any soil running out; I had almost no soil loss on my almost-level site.

The mat is big, firm, and heavy enough to use outdoors but it might not be as stable on grass as it is on concrete. I don't know if it can be left out in wet weather without suffering water damage.

Short answer is no. I had a concrete slab to build it on, but it could just as easily be built on dirt. The floor kit it to protect your stored items from moisture, pallets or plastic containers will serve the same function. The frame kits are for extreme wind situations, though I have had no problems without it.

No concrete isn't necessary, especially if you think you might want to move it anytime. It has pretty long spikes that hold it in the ground. Mine has been in for a few months and so far so good, but I did move it once, so spikes better than concrete for that

It will work on concrete just fine, however, you must weight it down - whether with sandbags (as I did for many months), or dedicated slip on tent weights.

It can be placed on grass. There is a bracket on each leg that allows you to nail or stake to the ground or surface you are on with an appropriate nail or stake. It does not come waterproofed.

I would agree with Tina L. On the grass the legs tend to settle into the ground, do not slide and I would consider it safe, but unless there is a way to anchor it to the cement, I would not recommend it.

I have mine on grass without staking. It might want to slide on concrete when empty winding up a long run of hose. If that is the case you would just have to place your hand on the top and put medium pressure to hold in place until it has enough hose (weight) was in it to not slide - maybe 25 foot of a 75 foot hose. The unit is the best one I have had. Enought to buy a second one.

I would NOT place this directly on any surface outside. But my daughter loves to take it outside. So we allow it on the GRASS only ... with something underneath to protect the plastic from rocks or sticks. I would suggest large towels or a plastic tarp to preserve the plastic coating.

It will fit on concrete but if you leave it up all of the time it would have to be anchored some way. When the winds get high we just tie it up but have it semi anchored with big blocks on all corners.

I doubt it would work well on either. Dirt maybe if it was level, packed well and had no rocks but it is best for indoor use or paved outside.

We have ours on cement for bike storage. I would think so if put on grass and auger's used to secure.

I think it would still work fine, but I believe I would put something on the concrete first, more to protect the concrete. Looking forward to see what other opinions may be about this. Mine is on bare ground, but I initially considered putting a large metal square on ground before I set the bin up.

It could be used on a concrete patio. I use it on my driveway all the time. If your weather isn't too severe it could be left outside like any indoor outdoor carpet would be.

I placed it on a concrete slab. You can use large flat patio paver too. Easy to wash down with a hose. Good luck

it will go pretty good in the grass but its mostly meant for dirt and gravel tall grass will slow it down a fair amount
