Can I set this up on a concrete patio or does it need grass to hold the tripod? Thanks

Yes, you can. It has it's own tripod stand, it does not get anchored into the ground.

I have a concrete floor on my balcony and the umbrella sets up fine. No problems with it.

It would set up on a hard surface it has no spikes to anchor it to the ground just feet. It needs weighting down in any sort of wind - a sandbag or dumbell or something.

Works on any surface: grass, bleachers, concrete,, sand. I don't use the anchors!

The tripod comes with spikes to help anchor it in place, so those would only work on grass. If you want to set it up on concrete, I'd advising using sandbags or something to anchor the tripod. Otherwise, it could easily blow over.

This item is designed to be placed on either the lawn or on pavement. For either location, you have to make sure that the legs are unable to shift and it is secured down so the entire unit is not able to sway in the wind. Please remember that this item is not a permanent structure and should not be left up unattended.If you need any further assistance, please contact us at service2@wpinnacle.com or (214) 491-6991 Monday - Friday 9am-4pm.Thanks,WPIC Store Management

Can be setup on deck , pavers , patios . We use sand bags to anchor only if the weather calls for wind

No. It just needs to be kept off the ground. But a concrete slab or a wood deck are good choices.

We used this on the grass and it was perfect. Since we had to secure/anchor it with stakes (we purchased additional larger stakes), to use it on cement I think you'd have to find a substitute for this process.

Not recommended for concrete. The friction will wear holes in the material and its very safe because if you fall you could seriously injure yourself. Recommend grass only. Hope this helps.

I have only set the item up on the grass. I think you would need a tarp or some kind of protection for the bottom on a different surface.

It's cushy, but not cushy enough for brick. The instructions also say not to put it on concrete. We have a concrete patio, though, and my plan was to put it on a few towels to protect it, but in the end, I opted to put it on the grass.

Mine is on a concrete patio but I don't think I would put it on a wood deck.

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.

The legs have a flat pad that would sit nicely on concrete. The problem would be to anchor it down something you must do if there could be any wind at all. From experience it acks like a big KITE.

As long as the gound is level you could put it on grass. You would need to put down plastic or root guard to make sure grass doesn't grow through though.

We anchored ours to 4x6 beams that were anchored with cement. (50 bags) We made a patio out of screed blocks and filled in the spaces with gravel. We used the drainage holes in the solarium to anchor it. We live in a windy area and we weren't taking any chances.

Tara, yes the tripod can be used in either way, just by setting the plate that screws to the camera to either horizontal or vertical plane.This is the best inexpensive tripod I have ever owned- and I have had 4 or 5 before this one. It is sturdy, well constructed I have used it outdoors in moderate wind conditions (deer hunting) and it is heavy enough to stand up well in those circumstances. (It is better in those conditions if you don't extend it to its tallest. I used it while siltting on a chair.)

I used it on a concrete surface and it was ok (it has flat "feet"). The only issue is that if you are in a windy place you might need to put some weights on it.

I have 2. They are on top of a concrete slab. This works well for us. I am not sure if you need a ground cover with the If the po is on grass.

Hi it works on grass but if wet it will peel out.Flat patio concrete or asphalt is the best. My niece loves it but watch your feet.
