Will it work on a deck or does it have to be put into the ground?

You have to install a tube for the pole to be inserted into (below ground or floor level). It comes with what they call a "ground spear" which is hammered into the soil. I put a block of wood on top of mine and really worked to drive it into the soil. Pretty tough chore. I think if you wanted to use it on your deck you would need get a tube made up and mount the tube assembly below the deck surface so no one would trip.Sean

You need to put it into the ground. There are other models that come with a stand. Just keep looking. I love mine!!!

It will work on a deck but you might need to use an umbrella foot that can be fixed to the deck, instead of the ground anchor that comes with it. We are very pleased with it.

It does not come with a device to put it in on a balcony, the holder that comes with is meant to be put into the lawn.

It is designed to set on top of the ground with stakes holding it. It is a temporary structure. That said, with some modification it could be a little more permanent.

Will work as long as proper ground. Instructions state the item will not function if not properly grounded.

It is going to have to be firmly anchored somehow. This thing is fantastic, well made, very sturdy but all the same it is a giant sail. I would not purchase it unless I had some means of anchoring it down. I myself, built mine over top my back deck and drove screws through the mounting plate through the deck planks. I suppose if you were to put each leg into a hole filled with concrete that would do well.

I have not had to stake it in the ground. The water weighs it down pretty well. It would be best to place this on grass because the kids do hit the ground as they come off of the slide so the grass is a softer landing. Concrete may hurt them. And the lagoon may get holes in it from rubbing on the concrete. So, I would only suggest grass.

we use it on a wooden deck, but we built a platform with garden paving stones to raise it up since it is so short. we've had no problems with it like that!

As long as it's covered and protective by rain or snow ... You should be OK. It's not adapted to be laying on the ground outside for sure. It truly works like a charm. Hope that helped. Happy shopping!

You would have to anchor it to deck somehow. It is very light weight. There are loops attached that are used to stake it to ground, so you may be able to use those to tie it to deck. Hope this helps

YES on a deck or porch. Maybe in the ground. We figured out a way to bolt it to our (wood) front porch so it would be safe when grandkids leaned on the back. Just take two 3" (or so) triangular gate-type/strap hinges, fit them at a 90° angle, one on the deck, one on the bench leg and screw down tightly. Voila! Maybe the same could be down in a yard with super long screws or more 'ground friendly' type attachments?

I would not bury it in the ground. I Would purchase an extension chord and just hook it to that. There is enough chord to do what you want however.

Yes. I have never staked it to the ground. It pops up and stays in perfect form. If it's windy as long as there is something inside it won't blow away.

Yes, that is the best way to set it up. I put mine on a slab. There are anchor plates provided to secure it to a deck.AL

Yes and no. It will sit on the ground as shown in pic. It comes with stakes to put in the grommets on the nylon tabs shown to hold it down. However, the handle will blow up in a moderate wind. That is the one thing I do not like about the product.

Hi Krazy Kat, The legs are not flat bottomed. In order to put on a deck, you would have to concret the legs so that they are stable. I hope you find this information helpful. - Crystal, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

it gets staked into ground. works well. very light, easy to assemble and disassemble but strong winds can knock it down sometimes.

Greetings. Would this work if located on an outdoor covered deck? I t would be set against the outside wall of house.

It comes with a bracket to be screwed to something. So you could put a 4x4 post in the ground and attach it to that.
