Can this be positioned on the lawn without sinking into the soil - does it need "footers" to keep it from sinking?

It does not need footers. I've had mine installed for several years now, with no sinking.

To clarify my previous answer, the cinder blocks were buried to ground level.

I can't say for sure about "footers", as it does have somewhat of an edge on each foot so that it won't sink right in. Our soil here is like a rock, so nothing was needed here, except for big nails to put through the holes on the feet to keep it from blowing around in our big winds.

YES Requires footers. Must have 2 persons to assemble this or it will easily bend. Check for RUST, Parts and Dents Prior to Assembly. Mine were Damaged and rust upon delivery. Second order arrived falling out of boxes and parts missing. A Major Headache. Not worth the stress!

I put four cement cinder blocks under the four pairs of feet. We have "sandy soil" here. So far, after two years, it's holding solid.

Doubtful unless you set it into a portable concrete base. It is designed to be driven into the ground and even with 3 ground spikes will loosen with use and require moving.

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.

Yes, it comes with feet to stabilize and it will be about an inch off the ground. You can buy it that way without the risers, too.

No footing is needed. There is a metal bracket that attaches to a wood block (wood block not included) that simply rests on the ground to for support

No, it's permanently in the ground. I intend it to be part of my garden beauty. My husband put it together & in the ground. Took part of a day & it is gorgeous. Don't think the integrity of it would last if you tried to take it down over & over.

You would have to be creative to keep it from flying away, but I think it could be done with concrete bases or sand bags. Drilling into the concrete for little flush sunken anchors if it is your own concrete wouldn't be to difficult and would end up being even better than ground stakes.

I did not attach legs to the bottom of this planter because once you fill it with the soil, it becomes very heavy. I put it on the floor of my patio and the plants grow very well. Actually I use it as my kitchen.

I did not use a bottom. Just set it right on the ground and filled it with dirt. If your ground is uneven, you may choose to level it out a bit so it sits straight. The corner spikes do a nice job of holding it in place as the go into the ground.

It does not need to touch the ground. I comes with brackets for deck mounting.

Yes, as the legs are separate and need to be attached. However, I don't think it should sit directly on a deck, you would have to put something under the planter to raise it slightly for drainage.

Yes. The base is flat and will sit perfectly without the stakes. You just might want to put something on top if it's in a place where they might blow away. They don't really have much weight to them.

It would need to be pushed into the ground, or somehow weighted down, to keep it standing upright. Mine has been fine by simply pushing it into the dirt.

Ours was put directly on ground. There are metal supports to hold structure circular & shelving to put the 4 planter pots on. This weight of the planted pots holds ours down.

Although the feet on the bottom help it stand straight I would not use it outside without at least tying it down. It cannot take any wind when it is not tied or staked.

I did mine in the lawn but I would put down landscape fabric going up the insides to keep the dirt in as no cement is perfectly level.

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.
