Sure you can use it for that if it is secured properly. Not sure why you would want to do that though. Remember the higher you go, the less weight the jack will hold.

Presuming you have a big enough garage roof, yes. The backboard was too big for the garage roof for me so be sure to take your measurements beforehand.

I put in wood posts that go up 8'. If not in a deck, I would use metal posts in concrete.

That really depends upon your area/yard. We have one of them tied off between the side of our garage and trees close by. The other, we implanted posts in the ground to attach it to.

You will have to purchase a post separately. In my case it was used for decorative purposes only.

it does not come with the post. You have to supply that. Or put it on the side of a building.

well it's a wooden gate so might warp unless you paint it with clear coat or waterproof, etc. It's not made out of wolmanized wood like a fence post is. Seems a metal gate would be more suitable for outdoors.

I wouldnt. It isn't very rugged and I don't think the wood is treated for outdoor use.

It would work, but not from a distance. It would be better as a garage type decor.

It is really not designed for indoor use as the post that holds the sections together are designed to dig into the ground for stability. There are others out there that would work better for indoor use.

Yes you can but for me the fit was extremely tight. I had to use a sledge hammer and some cardboard (to cushion the blow) in order to get the bracket onto the 4x6. I stopped once the wood was all the way in (flush with the end)...not sure how I could have gone any further with the fit so tight.

If the post is sturdy enough and with the proper u-shaped clamps. Also consider the wind.

Yes, I have mine mounted onto a 4x4 post. I went to my local chain hardware store and bought a 4x4 bracket that is used for wooden decks and just mounted it under the feeder.

I have ours inside the garage, but would imagine it would be fine outside if you were able to anchor it down. It has scew holes for anchoring.

Depending on the post size and hole spacing you should be able to mount on a steel post. The top plate on the post should be a minimum 6" square.

It has to be installed over an existing post secured in the ground. They recomend a 4x4 but I had a 3 inch round aluminum pole set in concrete so I made wooden adapter brackets so the post thought it was going over a 4x4. Pictures available on request

I wouldn't use this outside unles it's under a cover porch etc. I think the wood wouldn't do well if exposed to the westher.
