Do they need to be installed to a wall? I am planning on putting some along a 4ft tall chain link fence. Will this not work? Has anyone tried it?

I installed mine on my back deck which has a four foot wooden rail. I screwed it into the upright wooden posts. The only issue I could see is you would need to drill and use bolts instead of screws if you are attaching to metal posts.

you could tie it to the fence, I used two fence posts to put the trellis in my raised bed

We attached ours to 2- 4X4X8 ft treated posts. The posts we set in the ground 2 ft deep. Has worked great for us we have a Trumpet vine on ours and holds it no problem!

As long as you secure it properly its should work... A wall is the ideal spot however

Supposedly. They're designed to be cut to length. But if it's for outdoor use, they don't hold up well so make sure its not a big project to put them up. There should be instructions included that describe where to cut the lights so that they'll still work.

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.

I've mounted them on drywall and on plywood in a chicken coop, even though the instructions clearly state that it shouldn't be used outside. Worked fine for years! I haven't tried mounting to cinder blocks, but if you can drill into them and provide the right connectors, then there's no reason that it can't be done.

They can be mounted to drywall. I would make sure that you use butterfly drywall anchors though and not the simple blue ones. You want a good grip and the drywall will be able to hold the weight. Studs would be better, but if not possible, you should be fine with this.

They aren't specifically designed to be wall mounted speakers. I'm sure there is a way you could figure it out, but they do not come with a way to easily mount them to a wall. They are meant more as a desktop monitor speaker.

If you mean an open loop, probably not out of the box, because there are no hardware to fix it to walls. If used outside, they provide anchors to bury in the ground, so it could be used as a fence, but will be flimsy, without additional fixtures.

Unfortunately, no they can't. They are somewhat flexible when working with it but you have to be careful to ensure ends line up with wall ends. Hope this helps!

I don't remember if they came with brackets to do that, but I would think you could get those cheap at the store and secure to the wall. I did not do that so if they were in there, they were added to our other hardware. Sorry.

Yes, we mounted to a chain link fence by putting a 2x10 12 inch board behind the fence and attaching the mailbox to the board through the fence. Takes some simple drilling; use washers and do not apply too much pressure so as not to break the box. Has hanged secure for almost a year now. Has survived heavy winds, ice and snow, keeping things dry inside. Have a great day. God bless.

We attach ours to a flat metal plate, so I don't see why it wouldn't attach to a wall. It has two openings for bolts (square openings if I remember correctly), so you will need a long enough bolt to go through the wall. They are easy to install, even I can do it!

These are designed to be bolted to a backing. I am not sure how you are planning to secure it to the wall. Are you thinking a corse threaded bolt? Either way you would need to either have the backing or perhaps install them into studs. I don't think this is what you need

These things are amazing! We have them mounted to a wooden fence. Have used them with 4, 6, & 8 inch clay pots with the rim and they work just great! . Have not tried anything bigger. Hope this helps!!

Must be installed. However, if you put them up and make it look like they are installed, they would probably be a very effective deterrent (considering neither of your neighbors probably have them and so it would make your house seem more likely to go wrong when burglarized) ...

I have used the 12 foot horizontal galvanized posts that you would use for a chain link fence (2), they are cheaper than the "antenna mounts". I used a post hole digger to bury the bottom down 18" or so, concrete optional, and braced near the top of the house. I have a ranch house, so you may need to adjust for a taller structure.

Sidney, I wonder if you tried it? If so, how did it work for you? I am considering the same setup. I cannot run a wire from the inside wall to the outside wall so I was thinking simply mounting the units on opposite faces of the door, hiding the wire inside the door itself. (sorry if this comment is entered in the wrong place)

I'm going to go ahead and say they are not reusable. Getting them on the wall isn't all that difficult, but pulling them off would be. Applying it, I made a fist, and pressed it into the wall hard, in a circular motion so it was good and stuck. My best recommendation to you would be to find a wall it can be on for a lllooonnngggggg time.
