Could it be used on a patio (as opposed to staked into the ground)?

My opinion - I doubt it very much as it is basically 'a tent' . There is no weight at the bottom to hold it onto a surface, that is why it is staked. If and I mean if there is NO wind it might stay put for a time but once the wind starts I think it would take flight. Hope this helps.

Yes you can mount it to a deck//but the plastic feet that comes with it for mounting are in my opinion too flimsey to hold the gazabo in a wind storm...so I have the feet screwed down ( screws not supplied ) but I also have it tied to my deck rails for security..for the PRICE it is a quality unity..not diaapointed at all...wind storm may change that but it could happen to any canvas structure...this is ment to be a seasonal unit not left out in winter..goes up easily....

Yes it can. Ours was hung in place of a regular swing. We have had it 2 years on our community play ground and it has held up great.

I don't see why not. I had considered doing that myself but attached it to the side of a small outbuilding instead good luck.

Yes you could use it indoor as the poles hold it up and it would not need to be staked.

There is no floor to it, so if your deck has space between the boards that could be an issue. There are loops to stake it down with, so if you could stake it in some way, I think it would be fine.

We have it on the back patio. As long as there is clearance above and no roofing you should be good.

Yes. We use it just as we would use a non-portable stand on our back patio. It has worked very well.

I wouldn't put the unit out in the direct sun, but if you kept it on the patio but in the shade and slightly above the ground I would think it would be okay. Also getting the unit wet would not a be a good idea hence my idea of getting it off the ground.

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.

Depends on wind. But it comes with some anchors that you could tie down or push in the ground. I have used mine on a rock patio and just put some bags of pool salt on the legs for safety. I have only used anchors once.

Yes, it can be set up like a normal umbrella, but I would recommend using the pair of cords that it comes with to attach to stakes in the ground. For the size of this, I don't believe it would be steady enough to safely skip using them.

I wouldn't use this one in the middle of your patio. It's better for a corner.

Yes. I have never staked it to the ground. It pops up and stays in perfect form. If it's windy as long as there is something inside it won't blow away.

I think so. I would recommend using ground stakes to keep it well anchored to the ground.

Place on concrete patio? Sure. Don't foresee a problem unless you intend to plant items that grow really deep roots. On a wood patio? Probably would need a base as dirt will fall/wash away through wood slats.Not sure if you are aware, but the wood is just the 'outline'; frame is seemingly flimsy until dirt is poured in to stabilize the unit.

You could stake it but is easier to use bricks which works beautifully. Do not use water or sand. Re water it always leaks. Re sand once in cannot remove and makes it very heavy and hard to store. Bricks are the way to go and they are dirt cheap. In humid climate screen fabric only lasts about 2 seasons.

It would sit there fine, but if you want it to rock that would probably not work. I have mine on my slate patio outside, and even when it hits an uneven spot I kind of feel it, and it doesn't want to rock very well. For me, that's the nice thing about this chair is that it's relaxing to rock in it. But even without rocking, it's very comfy.
