Has anyone tried using this un-mounted? I need it for the back deck - but only occasionally and don't want to deface the wall with a mounting plate

I would not recommend trying to use this without amount. It would be very hard to hold and push the lever at the same time.

Unless someone is actually holding the winder it is not feasible to be using the same un-mounted.

It would be very awkward holding the web sack, compressing the pinch bar and winding.

I believe this would be difficult to achieve unless your a body builder. The winder needs be off the ground so that the cord is free to coil up in the net.

I tried but it was hard, but you can but a 4x4 to a base hold the bass with your feet and then use it. You need both hands to roll up the cord. I have 120 feet of cord in my wonder winder.

The bag underneath is a soft net with the cord coiled in the bottom. This allows the cord to wind and unwind properly. Unmounted, meaning the net laying on a surface, neither process works well. The winding in particular will not work at all. Having said that, it does not need to be attached to a wall specifically, it just has to be held up in the air in some manner, probably a helper, since holding with one hand and winding with the other also does not work well.

Never tried it w/o mounting it. I do not think you would be able to use it w/o mounting it.

Mine is not wall mounted but it should not be a problem. The mounting bracket will probably give you at least a couple of inches which should be plenty.

yea thats what i had to do was screw it into the drywall... not the best way to fasten plate but it worked. i was going to go back and find a different way to fasten it to the wall .but so far its held so i just left it alone.

No I haven't I used what was supplied it is strong so if you want to remove it after you can't ... I just moved left mine behind an purchased a new one !! I would give the command strips a try if you don't want to damage your walls but not sure how well they hold up ...

I leave mine mounted never had a problem. I did have to buy different screws to mount to the wall. The screws that come with it were too long.

This coming from an engineer. "Don't even think about mounting it on drywall." Mount it to a stud. If the studs are not where you like then mount a plywood plate between two studs and hang your Habitat on the plate.

thank you for responding! i searched the user product reviews for "wall" and found a few others who ended up mounting it to the wall, so i'm seriously considering it now. it is much cheaper to buy this at the discounted price and mount it to the wall then to buy a bunch of the sky climbers that are made to be mounted to the wall.

Yes, we have ours wall mounted and it works beautifully. You will need to pick up a separate wall-mounting kit, however - the hardware is not included.

There was hardware for it to be mounted against a concrete wall but not on regular vinyl. So what I did was mount a board to the side of my trailer. And screwed big lag bolts to the board. Other wise everything came with it. Looks good. Hope thia helps. Mount it as high as you can if your going over a deck porch.

This particular mounting system requires you have access to the back of the wall to put in the 'T nuts". Also, drywall wouldn't hold. They would just pull through.

It is very nice. I'm no expert so I'm not sure how to answer. I mounted mine on the house/deck area. We get a lot of positive feedback from people that see it.

I have used mine mounted to the wall for over a year now & have had no problems at all! Just make sure you use a strong enough lag bolt when doing so & you will have no problem!

I actually mounted ours with the command picture strips and it has held up fabulous. Easy to take down if need be and replace back as well.

Joe, this is NOT for roof mounting. This model is for Wall mounting only. There are other mounts for sloped roofs...keep searching. Mark in NY

I used liquid nails to mount the one I purchased, however it was difficult holding it in place long enough to hold it's own weight. I then used caulk to cover the edges. It has held up fine since then. Perhaps a contact cement would work and may even require less hold time although I have not personally tried that myself. I am not sure how someone would be able to mount this with a bracket. Perhaps an anchor bolt would give it something to rest on in the adhesion process? I am not sure. I hope this is helpful.

It's not meant to be mounted on a wall, but you could always jerry rig it, although I would not recommend that. It would likely rip the backboard or your wall from the repeated pressure of making shots.

Not sure if it can be wall mounted. I'm sure you could figure out a way to do that.One reason I purchased is that you can store it away. Works well in small spaces!
