Can this be placed on concrete? We only have a patio &no grounds to set these on. This was given to us as a wedding gift and I would love to use it!

I can't think of a reason you couldn't. It is open on the bottom, so you would have to add some sort of liner to keep the soil from draining out with the water.

You can certainly place it on concrete, but how would you provide drainage?

When putting your planter on the concrete patio you may need to put a landscape liner down first to keep the soil in. Other comment suggesting stone for drainage, that could be placed on top of the landscape liner, is a great idea.

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.

We didn't put them in concrete. It was a test run for our landscaping. They look beautiful but they don't last. I have one left from the set that gives us a glimmer of light, a spot of light.

The 4 pegs that come with the windmill are not enough to hold it into the ground. I used 12 inch landscaping/edging pins to secure it into the ground. So far, so good. Concrete would be over kill. I do so love the windmills and they are worth the extra effort. Good luck in decision making!

Yes, it is pre-drilled and cut. I put it on a deck. I don't see why you couldn't put it on the ground. You might want to pour footers--4 hunks of cement going down below the frost line--so that it doesn't sink into the dirt. I don't know where you live or how wet it gets there. Mine's been up a year and I really like it.

It's cushy, but not cushy enough for brick. The instructions also say not to put it on concrete. We have a concrete patio, though, and my plan was to put it on a few towels to protect it, but in the end, I opted to put it on the grass.

I have mine on grass without staking. It might want to slide on concrete when empty winding up a long run of hose. If that is the case you would just have to place your hand on the top and put medium pressure to hold in place until it has enough hose (weight) was in it to not slide - maybe 25 foot of a 75 foot hose. The unit is the best one I have had. Enought to buy a second one.

Mine is on a concrete patio but I don't think I would put it on a wood deck.

I haven't put mine on concrete but I suppose it is possible. If the soil is kept moist it will adhere to each other reducing leaks if any. If you do line it, it would need to be some kind of mesh since you wouldn't want water to stagnate in it.

I really don't know if it will work on a concrete patio. The compost may stain. You could lay lots of newspapers down and then put the composter on top of a pallet.Check out Amazon. They also have bins that are on stands and also ones that you can turn (these make compost in as littler as two weeks!!!) Good Luck!

I would put a tarp under it setting it up in grass or on concrete. Not sure where u are putting it just make sure area is clear of anything that can puncture it.

I used it on a concrete surface and it was ok (it has flat "feet"). The only issue is that if you are in a windy place you might need to put some weights on it.

Yes it can be set up on an outside foundation, but it will need to be properly anchored. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

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 would agree with Tina L. On the grass the legs tend to settle into the ground, do not slide and I would consider it safe, but unless there is a way to anchor it to the cement, I would not recommend it.

I'm not understanding exactly what your question is but to clarify, I did not want mine just sitting on top the ground without being installed. Had a neighbor help me and we went ahead and permanently installed in concrete. VERY HAPPY with this product and have received many compliments from neighbors. any other questions please ask. And YOUR WELCOME! :)
