Can you burry these? My garden has no drainage &amp; want to put under groung a few inches with 4" slope?

Yes it can go underground and should. The end of the drain needs to be open and drained to a lower area. Try to compact the soil on the sides while burying.

I don't think so. I have mine on a rock which gives it about a two inch rise and it drains perfectly. I have flat land. I can't imagine anything draining uphill. Gravity?

I used these on in door basement steps. The problems I foresee for out door use are weather related: no drainage holes. I imagine water could build up and maybe be slippery (or freeze). Since you already have them. Try them outdoors. If they don't work, take them off. OR put on one or two. That's my spin.

I concur with the others About a half inch. If your drainage is good you should not have a problem. If your sink runs slow, it could be.

they would be suitable for outdoor use but do not have holes on the bottom for drainage. If putting out not covered by a roof line then I would suggest drilling some holes in the bottom. I use mine outside under a covering with succulents in them and bring them in in the winter months. I originally used them for a s'mores bar at our wedding. They had pea gravel and sterno in them for people to roast their marshmallows with. They look very nice!!!

This is not a soaker line (which is what you would use for underground watering) but I believe you could modify the drip endings with a fabric wrap of some sort to make a low volume underground line

Plastic ones are at Home Depot and do drill holes for drainage. An FYI use coffee filters over drainage holes---no soil mess on ground.

I bought four of these pots last summer to be used outside. There are no holes in the bottom of this pot., therefore the water did not drain out of them. This year we are going to drill holes in the bottoms so the water will drain. I would imagine they'd be fine as indoor pots as long as you control the amount of moisture in the soil.

I think they would be fine.. Not very sloped. But we actually returned this for a heavy duty Eureka.

I am not sure because I did not do that. I don't see any reason why you could not. They lock well and you would have to put in your dirt on the bottom one first I think. Not sure how to seal the inbetween when it rained though. There is green siding boards with poles that do though and I liked them better. These were nice but not big enough for me.

If ypu plan to grow anything other than shallow rooted flowers, you need the drainage. I even packed lava stone ten inches underneath for water retention.

You can. They are hollow. But the design is robust enough that I simply set it on the ground. My plant dies off in the winter so I push the arbor back against the house and then move it back out in Spring to train to the plant that grows up around it.

Yes, you do not have to drill drainage holes. I suggest putting some non-clogging media around the holes so they do not clog. I used small rocks.

No, there is no drainage system to install. In fact, there is nothing to install. The slats and connecting pieces go together easily, no tools required. It took me about 15 minutes to put it together all by myself.

You would have to move your drain to make this work. IF you got this one and couldn't move the drain, you'd have to piece one end to make the drain come to where a tub drain is, and in doing that you'd mess with the slope. Since this inquiry was a couple of weeks ago, you probably know that by now. :) Schluter does make bases in numerous sizes, so there's probably something that will work better for you than this one.

I can't think of a reason you couldn't. It is open on the bottom, so you would have to add some sort of liner to keep the soil from draining out with the water.

Funny you should ask! 75% of what I planted with this was on a slope. Yes it works just fine. It worked best for me to work "down" slope as it was easier for me to balance myself. Please try it, you won't be sorry! Good luck
