How do you mount it in your yard ? I don't have a patio.

I mounted it to a 2'x2'x18" flat landscaping rock. It was a freebie from my landscaping supplier. The light is very lightweight, so any 80lbs or so will work just fine. I used concrete anchors to hold it. It survived last winter just fine.

I bought two stepping stones from Home Depot, I drill the concrete anchors in one and Glued the two together with liquid nail. I saw this in a previous review and it worked great !

I used a 6" x 18" round concrete pad. Drilled holes in line with the base holes and used concrete anchors to screw the base to the pad. It has never moved in over a year. Put a rock garden around the pad and you never see it.

I have it in the grass area in the yard. I used some long spikes to hold it down. The grass has grown around it now so its secure.

My husband drilled holes in a flat concrete square bought at lowes and bolted light to it and buried that bottom in the ground. Worked perfectly.

I made concrete hexagon castings that were about 4'' thick and approximately 2" wider around the base of the lamp. I imbedded bolts into the wet cement spaced to fit the holes in the lamp's base. These ended up weighing around 40 lbs each; heavy enough to keep the lamp upright and still lite enough to pick up and move to a new location if needed.

We bought a 5 gallon pail at Lowe's, buried it, filled it w/concrete & then embedded the mounting bolts in moist the concrete. It helps to make a template for positioning bolts. Worked great, love the lamps.

For now I have not mounted it. My son in law told me I would have to get a metal pole to mount it on and the metal pole would be mounted on the side of my house facing south. For now, I am bringing it in and out of my house. I have a long nail and I have been hanging it on that with string. It sounds amateurish but that is the best I can do for now until someone helps me mount it.

IMO it doesn't seem like an outdoor capable. seems like a light duty thing...so I would not install it outside.

I mounted mine outside on the patio. It was under a roof, and I live in Florida. The weather didn't seem to affect it, but i don't think I'd want it outside in a Michigan winter.

Mount it near your outside outlet and yes, two screws into the siding will hold it.

I used zip ties and mounted it to a tree in my backyard. It really is awesome seeing them so up close.

You need the outdoor enclosure for it. Get it at any storethat sells intermatic.

We have ours mounted to solid wood outside on the porch. Perhaps with anchors it would be ok mounted to drywall. The hooks themselves are pretty heavy duty.

I've hung our swing to our deck. Go to Home Depot or Lowes and buy the following two chains(note the will cut the chain to your required length), two eye hooks(to go into the beams), and two quick links.

I mounted mine to the side of my house. You do not have to ground the antenna.

In any wind condition that is above a few miles an hour you will need to anchor it. It is heavy and pretty sturdy but not heavy enough to withstand any moderate to severe wind. It comes with tie downs that are built in to the canopy that you could probably extend and anchor in the yard just off the patio. Or if you want this to be a more permanent structure you could use cement anchors thru the feet.

Yes to the outdoors, the mount swings from horizontal as pictured to vertical so it could be screwed to a post, side of a house, etc. or just mount it to a board and set it on something tall.very versitile.

I have a patio in my back yard. I nailed a cross beam between two long parallel beams that hold patio roof. With chain or heavy duty rope, I tied the punching bag and hook over the cross beam that I nailed earlier. That should do it.

I'm not sure how you would do that. Perhaps it can be hooked on the balcony or use some wire of some kind sorry, I use mine in the yard.

I believe you can mount it to a tree. It comes with very comprehensive instructions from what I remember. Very well made.

I installed the gazebo with my son yesterday on a cement patio. I don't want to make holes in the patio to bolt it down. Any suggestions how to secure it so that a strong wind won't take it away? Thank you.

Mount it on the up-risers or sides of bars. The way you have it, you could never get enough grip from the mounts to fight the wind pressure.
