Can this thing be mounted on a concrete base or is it strictly free standing?If so is there any problem with it falling over during storms or high winds?

Yes, it can be mounted. I went to the hardware store and purchased a concrete drill bit, and I think 5/8" concrete bolts. They just pound in and expand. This really is a nice light.

I put them on my stamped and stained concrete patio. It also survived two tornadoes. I plan on buying more for a new projects.

It has to be anchored to something, preferably concrete. They provided some heavy duty anchors that worked great. I sunk a 4 inch concrete base in the ground and attached the lamp. The whole thing is really lightweight and wind should cut around it. We get some pretty bad storms and I think it should hold up. So far this winter we have had several blizzards and 50mph winds with no problem

I brought it to Destin, FL recently and it help up great - and it was a very windy day. The base is pretty wide and can be kind of anchored in the sand; I don't know how it would do on an uneven hard surface, but we've never had a problem with it falling over.

I dont set it up on concrete but for grass and dirt setups, I have some 'u' anchors that I pound into the ground over the upright stands to keep it from being blown over. That has been easy cheap and effective for me. Good luck

Anything can be anchored down if you put your mind to it but why would you want to? It comes with 24" built-in ground spikes as part of the assembly and unless you anticipate using this item in a hurricane, I'd leave it alone! It's strong, but if you start throwing metal straps across the top of it, not only will it look bad but you're likely to crush it!

I set mine up on a concrete patio to see if I could fit my tent underneath it and it seemed to work o.k. like that. I don't know if it would withstand any wind to speak of, though.

It can stand on concrete just fine. One would need to be aware of wind or weather as then ther is nothing holding it down. I have seen some people place a brick or some other w sighted material on the wide foot to add stability. It is a really great product. Well made and easy to use

I used it on a concrete surface and it was ok (it has flat "feet"). The only issue is that if you are in a windy place you might need to put some weights on it.

It has several anchors for the bottom base.These anchors that can be used for concrete or asphalt. Ours hasn't budged in winds gusts over 40 MPH.

It could definitely be free-standing. There are long stakes to drive into the ground (or concrete)

I don't think you would have a problem. I put mine on plywood with 2x4's as base. I have had no problems even in TX high winds

Mine is free standing, but next to my house and holds 2 clematis plants. It gets plenty of wind. The trellis includes 2- 16" L-channel ground anchors (that you pound into the ground). The trellis slides over the anchors, then gets screwed into them. I've had mine for a year and it is still very sturdy and looks as good as new.

It is not free standing. My only concern would be keeping the stakes down in sand.

Yes, it can. But, if a high wind comes up it will still blow it over. I put several paving stones on top of the base and stacked them up and it kept the base secured.

I plan to put a sand bag on the base just in case needed. We have had high winds and it never moved.

I dont think that it would stand up on concrete. we put it up on our deck but instead of staking we tied it to the railing of the deck. Even with that it moved a bit in the wind. I think you would need to stake it or at least tie it to something. I hope that helps. Mike

We mounted it to our patio structure, no problems, no vibrations. Like TimmyD-007 mentioned, we used a stronger bolt. We also hard wired so we can switch them on easier. We have one in each corner. They worked so well we bought 4 for our business!

It has provisions to bolt it to the ground. It comes with 4 concrete anchors. I have it bolted with 4 bolts to a concrete patio. I just removed it for storage in the winter. Very easy to do.The base has 4 holes.
