I am not sure, I installed mine on a bedroom wall. I would imagine that if you use something like liquid nails as an adhesive, it will adhere to any wall, in my opinion.

Yes as long as the surface is smooth to hold the glue. You may want to you use 3 coats of contact glue on the wall as well as the back of the panel, this should do the magic. Good luck .

If the wall isn't subject to a lot of moisture it should be OK. I used mine on drywall in a dining room and sealed the wall before I put it up. Only real problem I had was that virtually every panel I received had damaged corners (I bought three boxes). They arrived very beat up and poorly packaged. Ended up trimming all of the panels in order to get them to fit together seamlessly. They do paint up very nicely and look great but I worry about durability and if they will withstand the test of time, especially with grandkids in the house.

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.

I would definitely recommend a level surface, but it doesn't have to be perfect. Technically you could set this thing up on a flat section of grass.

It does not have to be mounted on the wall. It can rest flat easy any wear. It gives a cool effect on the floor ! Its just the wall gives the best protection because you wouldn't have to worry about it getting stepped on or knocked off something.

It may be recessed or just mounted on the flat wall. There are side mirrors to make the unit look very finished. It is a very attractive unit....I really like mine.

I have mine on a decorative pole outside. But I think it would lie flat against a wall

I have not tried it that way since I do not have a flat surface to put it on. It shoul work fine.

So long as you secure the base (fill it with sand or put bricks in it), an unlevel surface is OK. We have used it both on level and unlevel ground. We have bricks in our base

It can probably be installed securely on a slant if the grout lines interfere with vertical or horizontal installation

No, it does not need to be mounted as long as you lean it up against a wall. That is the way I have it in my basement.

Yes it can be installed on a wall. Not a fixed base. Can be adjusted ; will rotate on a ball ad socket.

I used mine in our playroom that has very flat smooth walls. I was able to put up without any issues. Sorry you're having trouble!

I currently have this on a painted concrete wall. The surface is far from smooth and it sticks just fine.

I mounted this product to the center beams supporting my basement. If you are going to mount it to the foundation wall I would pre-drill into the concrete and use the concrete anchors to support the chin up bar.

No, we mounted it in cement about the size of a coffee can just next to the pool edging. Flat surface mounting would not be sturdy enough.

It can be mounted to any flat surface. Just make sure you have enough vertical clearance...

I see no reason it could not be placed on concrete. Some soil will leak out. As for a liner, I think any plasticlining material would work. I would suggest poking a few small holes in it, to drain water.

I put mine in basement bolted to concrete floor. My thinking was if you have a house fire..if safe is on ground floor it may get covered if 1st floor collapses down on it...but you would know exact area of safe. If mounted on second floor...you may have to search for it. It gives you instructions on how to bolt to wood or concrete or you can look up instructions online. I am sure people bolt to wood/laminate flooring....people that live in apartments do not have a concrete floor.
