Can this arbor be used on hard surfaces? I'm looking for an arch that I can use for our wedding venue, that is freestanding.

Used for my son's wedding on Sanibel Beach, Florida. The ground was uneven and we didn't have time to anchor it. All was fine for the first 20 minutes until the wind came up and it almost blew over. Was a pretty strong wind as the bride had trouble keeping her veil from blowing around her face. My husband had to quickly tie a piece of nylon rope around the top and went and sat behind the arch and held it in place for the last few minutes of the ceremony. So, if there is no wind you will be fine. �

I am not sure....its pretty cheap and with no weight to it. We did concrete. But at best it should be sold at a dollar store.

It could be because the anchors are a separate piece but it may move if it's windy or bumped

We purchased this for our wedding venue Mountain Branch Golf Club, it is perfect but lightweight. On hard ground you would need to build a cross stand to attach it to. Perhaps just white 2 x 6 would secure it shouldn't be difficult . Have a beautiful wedding!

This arbor should be anchored to the ground. The metal stakes included have to be put into the ground at least 12". I don't think it would work well free-standing in an outdoor environment.

yea it can be used freestanding as long as it's not windy outside. we used it for our wedding as well but because of the possibility of wind we used the included stakes to be sure it didn't blow over.

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!!!

The legs will need to be secured or anchored with thin ropes ( depending on the wind speed) to insure security of the arch. I added flowers and netting, and it was the center point of our Vow Renewal. Congratulations! This arch isperfect.

Yes it can be, without any problem at all. I highly recommend this product, the curb appeal is top notch.Very easy to assemble and/or make adjustments to your landscaping.

I didnt Support it when I first got it and heavy wind it blew over but didnt break. After I mounted it to on one side and a bouganvillia grew up the other side its sturdy and secure. It's pretty thick so if your are mounting the bottom of the legs with or in concrete I would say yes no issue.Or if the fence thats in concete is being attached to the sides of th arbor.

Yes it can be used for arches, I don't know exactly how you will use it but many people do use for that purpose. Yes I have 20 yards at this time. Do you need it?

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

Yes, if the ground it's on is stable. Since it's wood I wouldn't recommend using it in inclement weather.

If it's on a flat surface it shouldn't. But we don't know for sure yet. Wedding is in a couple months, nobody is wearing heels, and we're gluing flower petals on it.

It is not free standing. My only concern would be keeping the stakes down in sand.

Audrey,I've used mine inside without any problems. It does free-stand. If I were to use it outside, I would probably add a small brace from the foot to the vertical part of the stand on each end, but if used properly it is just fine right out of the box. ThanksRon N

Technically, it could be, but all the controls (timer, scoring, sound effects) are integrated into the arch. If you didn't want the arch, you may be better off finding a cheaper table without all the bells and whistles.

It is super easy to assemble. It isn't really strong enough to support heavy plant material in an open area subject to winds. However, is great next to or attached to a fence at a gateway, etc. I used 4 pieces of 24" rebar pounded into the ground attached to arch with some hose clamps. That stablelizes it and works great and doesn't cost much. If you want to use it freestanding for a wedding or something you can attach it to two sections of 4" x "4 wood. Just lay wood flat and drill 2 holes in each section to match the four bottom prongs of the arch. It is tall enough for most purposes. Good luck with your project. It is super easy to assemble.

Provided the sand is deep enough, and support a bit of pounding. The arch that I ordered was not used in a sand environment.

I don't see why not, as long as there is a level spot. The product is easy to assemble and the bottom pieces would be fine on any surface, as long as it is level.

from my husband:> Upon assembling arbor I looked at method of securing it in its ultimate location. The hardware provided seemed inadequate.>> Solution:> 1. Secured 2 4x4's treated, cut to width.> 2. Attached to bottom of arbor.> 3. Provided weighted free standing base.> 4. Purchased 4 - 10"x10" concrete stepping stones and 4-18"x 5/8" steel re-bar stakes.> 5. Level ground, placed arbor> 6. Pounded steel stakes in corners.> 7. Placed stepping stones on top of 4"x4"'a (added potted mini-roses).> 8. Planted climbing rose's> 9. Installed drip irrigation.> 10. Hung wind chimes.> 11. Fill voids with sand or small rock. > Results; stable, wind resistant, relocatable arbor, looks great. from my husband:> Upon assembling arbor I looked at method of securing it in its ultimate location.

Perfect for your use other then bare feet. Kind of rough surface to use bare foot. Panels all interlock together. Recommend using a rubber mallet to assemble. I have them on my patio for outdoor use. Once assembled will not move. Hope this answers your question. Larry Saint-Germain "Cajun Country of Louisiana"
