Can this be used indoors? If so, how do you "ground" it?

I plan on putting it in basement over winter. We did not need to anchor it outside so I'm hoping it will work just as well inside.

Yes you can...it is very durable yet light weight and easily move able. I have daycare in my home and the kids love it. I have it outdoors as I have only had it since spring but have thought about bringing it indoors for the winter. As for anchoring it we haven't needed to but can appreciate the question. To not ruin your floor with bolt like anchors one could probably use something heavy lying over the legs.

Yes, it can be used indoors. It has a pivoting thing in the middle that doesn't require mounting it down.

I use this inside all the time but there is no way to ground it. It will move slightly.

It's probably more for outdoor use, but I don't see why it couldn't be used indoors. I wouldn't suggest using it for both. The treads may pick up more dirt/grit outside, then may scratch the floors if used inside. As it is a rubber exterior, it may also make scuff marks on indoor floors. As long as you make sure it's clean, I don't think it would really hurt to use it inside. I've seen in other reviews where people use it for both.

Yes, you can use it indoors. It is very stable and cool underneath. I would keep at least 2-3' away from anything over the top of the heating element.

I would ground it if you can. It probably won't hurt to leave it floating, but generally a grounded enclosure will offer more noise protection and safety.

no. there is no ground connection to the anteenae itself. it grounds thru your electrical outlet. if you have a splitter make sure you have a ground to that if it outdoors.

No, the fan does not have a ground connection. It should not be a problem since the fan is totally enclosed in the plastic housing and there is no way anyone could become a human ground.

No, only outdoors. I suppose you can do it indoors if you have enough space. although it is going to be hard to secure because there are pegs that you drive into the ground.

I suppose it "could" be used indoors, but it has a totally patio/deck look. It's so comfortable, though, that I might consider setting it up in the basement during the winter! ;)

Yes, you can use it indoors and no it doesn't need to be anchored in any way. It stands up on its own and moves very little as we use it in our garage.

It can definitely be used indoors. We use ours in the garage when the weather (or now season) doesn't permit.

I have mine inside the house. If you mount it outside, especially on a metal pole, you would want to ground the pole just to be safe.

yes it can be used indoors,but i think it is sold as an outside training aid as it has quiet a good range,one with a smaller range might do if you only want to use it indoors.

As long as the mat is plugged into the ground outlet or attached to the metal of the power supply which is plugged in but turned off, you should be ready to go. The only way it wouldn't be grounded is if the mat was not connected to the outlet in some way. By the way, don't forget to get an anti static wrist band or else you can still damage your equipment

This unit has no place to connect a ground so you have to just leave it out. Unless it's an old metal box which you would connect the ground, but the thermostat itself has/needs no ground. I've used this in two different homes.

The poles don't go into the ground so it can definitely be used indoors. Optional pieces can be used to reinforce outdoor use.

Yes, it can be safely used indoors. I use mine on top the kitchen counter during power outages after hurricanes and ice storms.

It's only for indoor use. I just reviewed the product if you are interested in my opinions on it, first review for it on Amazon.
