Can this be placed on concrete? We only have a patio &amp;no grounds to set these on. This was given to us as a wedding gift and I would love to use it!

You can certainly place it on concrete, but how would you provide drainage?

Yes this would fall over. The goal is quite tall and we had to secure it when we used it on the soccer field. I wouldn't like to take the risk of using it on concrete.However, I guess you could some how tie the base to a secure point if available. I just wouldn't leave it free standing.

I see no reason it could not be placed on concrete. Some soil will leak out. As for a liner, I think any plasticlining material would work. I would suggest poking a few small holes in it, to drain water.

I Would think it would be fine. Especially if it's not a windy day. Personnelly we have a concrete patio but it is pretty small so I use it close to the grass and the grass has never caught fire or even smoldered. Actually I have never even seen sparks fly out of it.

I would say it definitely needs to be placed on concrete (not turf or dirt), and I think once put together it would be difficult to take apart. I love the flooring- I use it in a section in my garage to make a nice transition into finished space, but I don't think it would come apart easily once put together.

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.

Mine sits on cement as well. I put a decorative hexagon step stone (they're about 2 inches thick and about 12 inches across) on the corners then a nice planter on top of that. However, I live in Southern California so we don't get much wind here.

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.

The canopy is made to be planted in the ground using the included ground spikes to stabilize the canopy.if your going to put it on a cement surface and its windy it will be a problem.

We didn't put them in concrete. It was a test run for our landscaping. They look beautiful but they don't last. I have one left from the set that gives us a glimmer of light, a spot of light.

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!

It will not hold in place in concrete. You have an option to glue it on the concrete, however, inside this light has rechargeable batteries and may have change it when there is battery issue. Some people make a hold on the concrete the same size of the light and drop the light in the hole. Good luck.

I really don't know.. We haven't used ours yet at the beach. I guess it could be used on a concrete surface if you put a blanket for comfort in there..

I haven't put mine on concrete but I suppose it is possible. If the soil is kept moist it will adhere to each other reducing leaks if any. If you do line it, it would need to be some kind of mesh since you wouldn't want water to stagnate in it.

I dont think that it would stand up on concrete. we put it up on our deck but instead of staking we tied it to the railing of the deck. Even with that it moved a bit in the wind. I think you would need to stake it or at least tie it to something. I hope that helps. Mike

The 4 pegs that come with the windmill are not enough to hold it into the ground. I used 12 inch landscaping/edging pins to secure it into the ground. So far, so good. Concrete would be over kill. I do so love the windmills and they are worth the extra effort. Good luck in decision making!

I really don't know if it will work on a concrete patio. The compost may stain. You could lay lots of newspapers down and then put the composter on top of a pallet.Check out Amazon. They also have bins that are on stands and also ones that you can turn (these make compost in as littler as two weeks!!!) Good Luck!
