Can you put these in cement holes? We would like to use this in our backyard in a sand pit. Will it work?

I think you wouldn't want to cement them in as you can the adjust them over time to make sure the net stays tight. The stakes are about 3ft long, so I don't know how deep you sand is, but they should work just fine pounding them in. Try it, if it doesn't work you can always return it. We love our net!

if your going to put it in concrete I would angle a sleeve slightly outboard and then just drop the pipe in....easy in easy out. However that may not be necessary I drove the anchor pipes in last summer per directions and there solid as a rock. Hope this helps!!!

I suppose you could, if you had the holes on the right angle...but I am not sure you have to-or would want to. It works well in soil and is also used in the sand...good luck

It is made for sand as we'll soil I would not put cement because it gets its tautness from the polls bending in unless you're going to put something in the cement on an angle the way this is supposed to be installed

Yes, but one thing to consider is this is NOT a free standing tent. This means the tent must be secured by driving stakes into the ground. On a Sandy beach I can imagine this being a big problem.

I didn't put mine in concrete. I think there were extra pieces that may be used for that, but I am not sure. Sorry!

If you have no wind where you are at you would be safe but if you do I would at least screw into the dirt. We drilled ours into a concrete pad. The poles are hollow and it's a large canopy-not something you would like flying around your yard..

I suppose it could be placed on cement, though I have mine on a gravel-soil mix that was an old driveway. If you only want shallow-rooted plants (i.e. not tomatoes) it could work. If the cement is level, there shouldn't be any soil running out; I had almost no soil loss on my almost-level site.

I placed my pit on a paved patio so I don't know. You may want to try fireing it up with brick or slate under the pit to deflect the heat if that is your concern.

Actually, you have two methods. You can always use a hammer drill to drill holes in cement. Then use a lead insert in the hole to give your screw some threads. Personally, I wouldn't drill in cement because if water gets in and freezes it expands and breaks the cement up over a few seasons. I would simply mount the entire Kick Away centered on a piece of plywood 14 by 22 inches. I used half inch plywood. Then I cut two strips of wood 3/4 inch or thicker that are 22 inches long. I mounted both strips on the bottom of the plywood along the edges of the larger 22 inch plywood to keep the unit off the cement. I then put 4 rubber feet, one on each corner to keep the Kick Away from moving during use and to keep the wood drier off the cement to avoid rot. The large plywood is cut larger than the Kick Away so you can stand ONE foot on the plywood and clean the other foot. Then switch feet. Use mine every morning following our 2 mile walk. Still outside on our cement driveway in front of one of the parked cars and the garage door. Kick Away is holding up just fine. Might have to rebuild the wood base I describe because I didn't paint the plywood.

Drill a hole with a concrete drill bit. Place a plastic anchor in the hole. I used one sold for sheet rock use and tapped it into the hole. I made sure the size of the anchor fit with the screws that came with the shade. Works really well.

I agree with Ronald, holes are sized for deck screws, so if you can find small enough diameter bolts for concrete, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

They are permeable to water but not sand. They could be used for a retaining wall, IMO.

I have had mine in concrete and have not had a problem. We have many temblors and this product has worked well. BTW, I live in Costa Rica.

Cement/concrete would be too thin and probably set up and ruin the bags. Gravel may work. Sand is great, cheap and does not hurt customers toes if stepped in to.

Yes, I installed mine in a cement house, just make sure you use the correct screws for bricks or cement. I hope this has help.

Yes, but depending on what you are trying to do none will be better than holes in the exterior walls. You can mount these on a pole with a pole mount kit.

YES... They blow around in the wind. I have put cement in two coffee cans and attached them to the bottom of the shade. This works up to about 30 miles per hour, if stronger winds, I roll up the shade.

I don't think the wire anchors would hold it in place in sand. They need to go into firm ground.

They can stand around the edge of a concrete pad(in the dirt), but, not on concrete. There are pins that slide between each panel that would drive downward into the ground. If you did not drive them into the ground, they would probably blow away or fall down.
