I want to use this on a wood patio where it's not possible to stake it down. Is this a problem?

Not at all use sand bags or they make weights to put on the legs. Make your own with sand bags

I would like to do the same thing for my patio. I need your feedback about your experience.

I think it would be dangerous on a patio. It's really designed to be on the ground

We have ours on a wooden deck and there's no problem at all. You will love this product!

I would probably suggest some type of brick or stone under the feet to keep it from sinking into the ground too much. I put mine on some slate patio squares. You may also have to check the cemetery rules to see if it is permitted as some can be fussy about that.

There aren't any tie downs or stakes with this item. It's also very lightweight, so I'd suggest keeping it in a very sheltered area - a protected porch or corner of your yard - or keeping it indoors.

Think it would be too tight a fit. You'd be better off with bamboo stakes in a little container, I think.

Yes you could use it indoor as the poles hold it up and it would not need to be staked.

we use it on a wooden deck, but we built a platform with garden paving stones to raise it up since it is so short. we've had no problems with it like that!

You could stake it but is easier to use bricks which works beautifully. Do not use water or sand. Re water it always leaks. Re sand once in cannot remove and makes it very heavy and hard to store. Bricks are the way to go and they are dirt cheap. In humid climate screen fabric only lasts about 2 seasons.

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.

My opinion - I doubt it very much as it is basically 'a tent' . There is no weight at the bottom to hold it onto a surface, that is why it is staked. If and I mean if there is NO wind it might stay put for a time but once the wind starts I think it would take flight. Hope this helps.

the area under the table gets hot.i have it on a stone patio. perhaps you could place a flagstone or pavers underneath to protect a deck.inquires to the company might be a good idea.

Hi, Mary! Yes, I placed mine on my deck and have had no problems with it. It doesn't need to be anchored down because it is sufficiently heavy to remain in place. I suppose if you live in an area with extremely strong winds things might be different but it hasn't been an issue for me.

We used ours camping and it is great. I don't know about a wood deck, it's high enough from the ground that it should be alright but when I use mine on our deck I will set it on paving stones just as an added precaution.

Only if the patio is covered; the wood has not been treated for outside elements. It is beautiful and very comfortable.

it is a plastic stake, make you a starter hole before you put it in the ground and you will have no trouble

No...but you could get those tarp clamps at home depot, clamp it then stake it
