Any recommendations to use this product on a 2nd floor condo, to protect the balcony from getting dirt and water falling to the 1st floor balcony?

I would not recommend that at all. It has no bottom and I cannot think of a solidly reliable way to seal it up unless you built a bottom.

The garden is open bottomed, made to sit directly on the ground, or whatever surface you put it on. I do not think it would serve the purpose that you wish it to serve.

If you buy a child's swimmimg pool that the garden could fit in, this should prevent water and dirth from falling on the first floor balcony because it would settle in the swimming pool. Jan.

Landscape fabric, or maybe a plastic tarp with holes so the water can drain out and not cause a fungus to grow

It should be protected from water and weathering elements. I have mine underneath my house. The first one I had was ruined when a water pipe burst and got it wet. I know someone else who has it on their porch.

If using this product alone, I would not recommend this product for areas of heavy traffic as the top thin sheet metal membrane can be fairly easily pierced, thereby compromising the water resistance. What I've done for areas of heavy traffic (balconies) is laid down the MFM product as roofing and built a floating cedar or synthetic deck that can be walked on over the MFM roofing material. Looks great, weather proof, economical, and long lasting.

My unit is on a second floor breezeway and only gets minimal exposure to the elements. So far I have had no problems. I can tell you that Schlage customer service is very professional, helpful, and accessible. You should call them.

I used it for the same thing, however I taped ot to the balcony railing! You would think that sounds flimsy but it is still sticking.

I live in an apartment and have a wood fence walling off one side of my balcony. I hung it up on the fence using zip ties tied around the slats. You could also use screw in hooks like the ones that you hang hanging planters from. The tabs at the top are loops.

Since it did not work well for our 28' deck boat, I found a better cleaner, Maguire's Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner (also sold on Amazon). I would suggest two bottles.

They recommend putting down paint tarps. We had our floor pulled up so didn't worry. I don't have an answer if you already have the problem.

Go to the pet store and buy 2 bags of aquarium rock and pour it into the rails (they have caps to close it) fill as much as you could and this will prevent the stairs from moving.

I had to look up the M.P.S.Spa. I think, I said think they would work fine on the exterior. Evidently you don't have a built in spa, no deck? If it sits on ground/earth, I'd suggest a wooden/cement platform to sit the plastic on. I'm not sure of top weight allowed, as there is no buffer of water. You certainly don't have to anchor it from floating. My best suggestion is to put a gate on it to prevent young children from going into it to tragedy. I'm very happy with these steps, in fact, just removed them from pool today, put away for winter. This is my first summer, they still look like new, no cracks or discoloration from sun. Good luck, Cathy

I've had mine out prospecting in the rain several times and it seems to repel water pretty well. Over time, I'll just spray some Scotch Guard on it to maintain it's repellency if needed.

I would suggest you buy the bare floor attachement, also I'd check setting and filtering

I think it potentially can be. I would have a few concerns. The tiles dont get tied to the floor and even thought they don't seem to slip it depends how many you will put down and how close to the ledge you want to cover. I personally would try to add something to secure them better just to be sure o make sure the railing and or wall keeps them in place. Other possible issue is I've seen how some bulding management/HOAs are strict about what is put on a balcony. I would also make sure there is no rule that would make you have to take them out. Other than that it sounds like a good idea.

I just have not had to test it like you would in Seattle. I used ScotchGuard on all cushions and pillows underneath it...but that doesn't guarantee anything, either. I live in Arizona so my waterproofing requirements are quite different than yours!

I think the loft tech is for down jackets. The tech wash works well, it doesn't provide waterproofing, its not supposed to. It doesn't strip the waterproofing that's already built in.

depends on the width of the crack/space between the deck boards. I would place a tarp to protect anything below - if the space is wide, the product is going fall through the cracks. I experienced this - see pictures of my deck (and space width of decking): cut and paste URL into your browser: link to all pics --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/12023977@N06/sets/72157629490063928/link to close up(s) --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/12023977@N06/6932719244/in/set-72157629490063928/
