Do you have to add additional concrete after installation? Some reviewers mentioned pouring concrete, but not all. Thanks in advance!

You screw it to the post to make the post upright, and then yes, you need to dig around said post and pour concrete the same way you would if you were putting in a new post. Super easy. My faulty post was damaged "in ground," so in my case, there's no way the post would stay upright and steady.

I installed mine on a wood post, but I am sure if you check with your local hardware store they can tell you how to install it In concrete and give you the items you need to do that with.

I believe there in instructions on how to do this included. We currently just pour water in as needed. We are pleased with this product!

Mine went into 2-3 inches of concrete like it was butter.....well, almost. I drilled a 1/4 inch hole first and then a 3/8 hole to put in epoxy and a piece of 5/16 allthread rod (4 places) to mount a garden hose reel securely. (Now I don't have to stand on the hose reel to stabilize it......I just crank away.) This is a homeowner's dream ...... but NOT contractor's grade (add a few hundred $ more for a high-quality/use it all day contractor's tool).

100% agree with the previous post. It was not designed for concrete installation, but that doesn't mean you could not adapt it for such a scenario. We had the same issue and changed our design so that the arbor would be off the edge of the concrete patio and over a new walkway which goes to our garden. The arbor, in our design, simply sits pushed into the lawn, but it is right up against the patio and we walk through the arbor to get to the garden.

Using concrete anchors from a hardware store you can anchor this to concrete without any issue. I did this with mine and worked perfectly. It comes with cable tie downs so use an anchor with eyelet bolts and your golden.

Instructions say to pour floor leveler directly onto mat. Then add your thin set and tile. You can also put down cement board first, but not needed.

Must use concrete its cheap and easy to do. Why not do it right if your that far along. Make sure you followed the directions as far as the shape of the bottom of the hole. I guarantee if you dont use concrete it will be tipped over after little use.

I put the wire on top of fully dried concrete and poured concrete on top to set it, then tiled over with slate. I'm sure you could do a full concrete floor instead of tile. It would likely be warmer without the extra layer. FYI--on my first order this vendor sent the wrong length of wire. I payed for the longest and was sent one much smaller. They shipped the correct replacement length, but I had to mail the wrong one back. Very inconvenient.

We did not cement it. We buried them in the ground slightly just to level it (our yard had a slight slope)and just used the anchors. It is very VERY sturdy...it's not going anywhere. My husband and I even tried swinging/tried to make it budge.

The design of the box is to be installed on a wood subfloor. If the concrete has already been put down it would be very difficult to install. The utility box is normally screwed into the subfloor wood with electrical routed to it from underneath. A wood box frame at the correct height with routed electrical would need to be done before concrete was put down.

You are dealing with a mold that provides for a 2" depth of concrete which is more than generous enough for any walkway or any form of landscaping decor. It really isn't necessary to do much in the way of ground preparation. If your intent is to allow the grass to grow between the poured stones anyway, you could just mix a relatively stiff batch of concrete and pour it right on top of the grass. The only issue will be keeping the concrete from oozing between adjacent stones--thus forming one large pour that is only imprinted by the mold rather than segmented by the mold into a series of smaller pours--each representing one stone. This might be easier to accomplish with a small amount of course sand layered on top of the grass, dampened and smoothed over to provide a better point of contact with the bottom of the mold. Then just pour and finish. Pour the concrete relatively stiff and keep a hand-trowel handy for finish working of the stones after you've released them from the mold. It all goes pretty fast. Most of the effort is in mixing, pouring and finishing. The preparation stage is pretty much negligible from a time and effort perspective. Another alternative that I have used with the mold when dealing with oddly shaped landscape details is to pour the stones in a remote location to where they will eventually be placed. My backyard is largely flat and sandy--ideal to this task. So I set up a little assembly line where I poured multiple iterations of molded stones, finished them, let them cure about 24 hours, and then I lifted them off the sand where they were poured and relocated them to their intended final positions in the landscape.

The screws that come with the box won't work in concrete. You have to use a concrete drill and some anchored screws (with hooks).

Hi, we recommend installing it on flat walls. Some costumers have put them on concrete walls using contact cement and they have had good results.

Haven't put my son's up yet. It's in the garage. It sounds to me like you will need to build a form up to the level of existing pad and pour concrete 12 inches deep to mount pole in. I don't think extending pole is an option.

Good afternoon, Happyjack. We recommend using screws verses concrete. Thank you, Sarah | Plow & Hearth Customer Service

Im not sure, this one has an opening on the ends where you screw in to the pieces that go into cement to permanently install. So mine was permanently installed with concrete into the ground. Very stable. I did not save the directions. Is your deck wood? I would say there must be a way to do it but I would nit know how to figure it out. A beautiful arbor I might add, nice it's weather proofed too. Long lasting. :) good luck!!!
