How do you keep the top from falling off? Does it need to be glued on? If so, what kind of glue should be used?

The top is made so that it fits down into the base of the hydrant far enough that it doesn't blow off. I had my 1st hydrant for nearly 20 years and only replaced it because I wanted a new,brighter one. Very durable. I never had the top blow off but I do keep a large rock in the base so the hydrant blow over. I love mine.

I bought some red duct tape and taped it on after I filled it with sand. My dog loves it!!

We never really had an issue with the top falling off except if an extremely windy day. We keep put some large rocks inside to keep it stable and we use it to store doggie bags.

The top on mine stays securely and I have a brick inside the container to hold the hydrant in place. I have it in an area with pea gravel outside and my 2 dogs know that this is their potty area. Even though it has been outside for over a year the color is still like new.

The top constantly falls off. I may glue it with a hot glue gun. It really should be weighted with some rocks before gluing on the lid, otherwise the whole thing will blow around. Before, I tried taping a sandwich-sized ziplock bag filled with rocks to the inside of the lid. It was enough to keep it on, but the tape will not adhere to the plastic beyond a couple of weeks at most. I will post if I come up with anything else.

The top is meant to come on and off (if you wanted to store things inside). If you wanted to keep it on permanently, I would suggest using a glue gun or a clear epoxy.

Mine has stayed up since I purhcased it. Its quite light, so the adhesive should be able to hold it well.

Make sure you have all the air out of it when you screw the top on. I find that helps keep it from leaking.

There are holes in the back of the top supports. When you get the back canvas in place, screw the crews through the canvas into the holes. That keeps the back from sliding off. I had the same question, but finally figured it out (with help from my kids).

We did not use glue, we fit the tiles very tightly. We have the tiles in a children's playroom and they have stayed in place with no trouble, I even replaced one the kids had gotten milk soaked but they are VERY tightly fitted.

You do not need glue, you spray your existing counter top with soapy water, peel the backing off and apply, the water on the counter helps you to position properly. I love the counter top and have had no issues with peeling. I would recommend.

Unfortunately, the top does not come off as far as I can tell. When I got back from camping I had left it outside to air out. Once It was out there for a few hours I hit it with the dry vac and then free-breeze. I use a sheet on top of this while camping in order to keep it in the best condition possible. Hope this helps. Cheers.

I've read that others have had trouble with the top, but I have not. It's always very easy for me to put on securely and it stays in place. Perhaps you have one that has been manufactured improperly? You might want to return it and ask for a replacement.

The top of table where screws were attached is not that thick. Decided to glue and screw brackets into top. That did the trick.

It depends...do you want to just keep the top from coming open unexpectedly or completely lock it? You could probably install a clasp to make it difficult for small people (kids?) from opening it. I don't see how you attach something to completely lock it though.

We nailed it to a board and then put it in the ground and covered it with dirt to hold it in place, there should be holes on the bottom of the pole to latch it to something, this worked really well and keeps it from falling over.

We just tucked ours under tight and then put a plastic tree guard around it. Some fell off but not many. Hope that helps

Mine is firmly fixed to the base; there does not seem to be any extra glue on the bottom, nor is it fixed via a screw at the bottom.

There are plastic coasters on ours and then we put the felt glue-on on top of those. Also, not sure if the plastic coasters were on when purchased or if we put those on too. Purchased a year ago and no problems with them.

Top of vanity is glued to base. It can't be separated without damaging base. The back splash is separate and will need to be adhered to top.

The top does not come off. You can just dust it like you would any piece of wood.
