Why does it mention cement pavers not included? Do you need them to put on the base for added stability?

Absolutely! I've had one and you need at least 6 paving stones which is about 150lb. 150-200 is recommended.

No. I thought I would do that too (before I had received the unit) but this pole does not go into the ground. It bolts onto a steel plate that is embedded in concrete (in the ground). Thus, there is no need nor benefit to fill the pole with cement. It is very solid regardless.

I don't plan on buying any extra anchors. The arbor comes with leg extentions for concreting in the ground.

No not included I bought 2 ... I dont use them .. the umbrella allows a tiny bit of tilt but not near enough. its almost like you need an elbow action bracket below the umbrella & I looked at DIY options but none were practical. good luck

No it does not. We used concrete square pavers under it and it worked out just fine.

The pole did come with it. Just concrete it in the ground. We absolutely live ours. My husband couldn't live without it.

It doesn't have a true base, it has metal feet. What was recommended with the instructions is to get 4 12x12 paver stones to put on the metal feet to keep it secure. The patio pavers do keep it nice and secure. I live in North Dakota where the winds routinely get up to 50 mph and have never seen the umbrella move.

On concrete you should not need the floor frame kit, or plywood. just a drill and a couple of concrete anchors. I bought the anchor kit and it was overkill, 4 anchors should be enough.

We actually stacked large concrete pavers in front of our privacy fence to elevate it, set the planter on top and used two provided screws at the top to keep it from tipping. More work than we expected at first, but the results are great. Hope this helps!

I purchased this for my son's pool. It did not include the base. I'm not sure if hardware was included.

Hi I have not officially installed the tiles yet. However, I am using them outside on top of a concrete slab without dowels or adhesive at the moment. I am only going to use the dowels to attach and see how it goes. The tiles have very little movement. They are heavy. I will not use the adhesive if I don't have to. I think it might depend on where you are using them. Hope that helps.

Yes, the hardware is included. It's simple to do---just a battery powered screwdriver and a ruler for making sure both legs are equidistant from the edge of the deck. The legs don't touch the bottom of the pool until you get on the ladder. For that reason, yes you do need a pad. I folded my pad so it has a double thickness under it to support the weight of a person. That's just me being extra careful about not doing any damage to the liner. I remove the pad when Winter arrives (crud will accumulate under it otherwise). After owning the ladder for over a year now, I must say it was an excellent purchase.i highly recommend it.

They are not included, they can be purchased separately and are easy to install.

I found that the pavers were very spongy feeling when you walked on them, just because they are made of hard plastic, if you have them just on grass with nothing underneath I don't think I would put a large heavy planter on them as they would probably sink or maybe even crack plus the sun fades them a lot so you will have an impression of the planter on the paver if you were to move the paver. Hope this helped you.

It doesn't scratch my concrete, I would assume pavers should be safe, I would potentially be more worried about how secure they are so it wouldn't dislodge your pavers. I think the blades are merely vulcanized rubber so they should not tend to scratch unless a rock or something similar comes in between the two.

Concrete pavers are not a smooth surface and as such the small discs may catch on the edges and probably not be the best thing to use also on cement they will probably wareout very quickly

It comes with anchors but we have never had to use them. Quite stable without them.
