Can these be used to anchor down Christmas lawn d&eacute;cor (ie, outdoor tree) so it doesn't blow away in bad weather?

If you're talking about the blow-up kind of decorations or something that needs to be staked out with ropes, you could give them a try. Your success would depend on how much wind you get and how heavy the decoration is as they're not very deep(about 3 inches). You might also try tent stakes

hi, at first i didn't anchor it and even after it fell once in a storm, i naively thought it would be okay. after the second fall, i put the extensions on and cemented it into the ground. that ought to teach the wind in chicago!

Can be setup on deck , pavers , patios . We use sand bags to anchor only if the weather calls for wind

Definitely not. I use them in windy, 60's they are not thermal or thick enough.

The slightest bit of wind would probably rip them down. They fell down/ripped quite easily for us and we used them indoors. They look nice, you just have to be careful with them.

Yes I think it would work. Remember to get some twist ties as they are open so that you can out them around the tree. Good luck!

I don't see why these wouldn't work outdoors...they're lightweight though, so you may want to weigh them down or bring them in on windy days. I never washed them in the machine, just sprayed them with vinegar and hosed them off and left them outside to dry.

. I use them for holiday decorations on my home. After season , remove and put back for next season. Not a hole in my aluminum siding. Yea !!!!

They have tent stakes to hold them down. The anchor is only as good as the ground though. A high wind area will require more stable anchor!

I used some of the screwins on a tree, but they weren't really getting hit to bad with the sun or elements, but i would think they would be alright they are super sturdy, really had materiel its almost like real rock. Good luck!

I would think that it would. When I attached mine, I used zip ties every foot or so. and attached it to the bottom as well, so the wind wouldn't blow it up. It's been up about a year now and is weathering nicely. You could probably put a zip tie into the grommet holes and then use a heavy duty staple gun and secure it that way. (I'm from Texas, I don't know what "can't" means, tee hee. Hope my suggestions help you.

They should work well in this application on smooth surfaces like a plastic fence or plastic siding. On rough surfaces you could add a layer of 3M double sided mounting tape. In the long term they may become brittle outdoors.

They have adhesive on the back that is pretty gooey, but it's not real thick and I don't think it would stick to a tree very well. The units do have holes at the top to accommodate a nail or a screw. You'd probably need to put a nail or screw into the tree. It might be possible to use these holes for a string going around the tree too.

Yes. We used this on an outdoor christmas tree this last winter to display a scrolling message. It worked like a charm. The city turned off the power during the day and when reconnected it automatically came on and displayed the programmed message. I hope this helps.

Yes, you can hang it from a tree outside however, you should probably not leave it exposed to the elements.

Personally, I would no as it may weaken the tree branch. Most if the tree swings I have seen have rope handles and something to protect the tree as it wraps around. Also, these are machine screws, not intended to drive into wood.

They're not designed for outdoor use, id be worried about damp air causing corrosion over time since they're not sealed. Could it work? Maybe in a dry climate, or in a very sheltered soffit.
