can i mount these on a wood deck? Or does it only come with the push into the ground spike?

It comes with a ground spike. HOWEVER, I mounted mine on top of a brick/cement potwall. I got circular screw bases from Home Depot plumbing department and the rod for the light screwed into the base. I then screwed the base to the wall using cement bolts and anchors. Take the rod to the store and match it to a base. Mine have been up and working for over two years and look great.

It has holes for screws and I screwed to my wood deck. If your owner allows, use two metal screws. If not, try super or gorilla glue.

i would NOT install them on your outside deck. we used them for our basement stairs, inside the house.

I have a wood deck too. I put sand in the bottom and used pavers to put underneath it.

I really cannot answer because I no longer have the installation instructions. The installation we did was not on a deck and involved the digging/pounding of very large metal "stakes" that each of the four posts are placed on.

The bird spike sections are "springy" so if you have any edges you can tension mount the sections, whole or cut, between the edges. I used them that way under eaves, and then have performed well.

I drilled through the legs where the leveling pads are screwed in and used 3" screws to bolt it down to my deck without the leveling pads. They weren't needed and even if the legs weren't level, bolting them down would solve that problem.

The screw in anchors go into the ground if you need them. Nails o no know but I use mine with a deck and just let it hang over an works great. Keeps temp down pretty good.

Hi I haven´t mounted on one so I cannot state. In my opinion it depends on the thickness of the deck so it can hold the whole imbed for the poles

For typical yard, very easy setup with the spikes that support the poles. I purchased this for use at my daughter's school, and where they were setting up for play at a particular area, we were not allowed to spike into the grass. We were able to improvise using small, heavy metal blocks that I looped the support lines over. I would guess on a sand pit area, you could probably do the same thing with stone blocks or something similar.

My deck is the same way so my husband built a wooden step right on the deck. I am including a picture so that you can see what he did. Hope this helps you.

These are just for the ground. If you can find a way to screw them to the deck just be aware of the wires.

I put mine on a deck foundation using 2 by 6's for support and then deck boards on that. I did put 4X4's in concrete on all 4 corners and bolted the 2X6's to the 4X4's. Make your wood deck sturdy and keep working to keep it level and you should have no problems supporting the weight.

If you can't get the screw in anchors in the ground, then you can use the big nails to stake down the bottom of the awning. It comes with seven runners that slide in the slot in the awing and seven s hooks, I bought seven more runners and hooks because for a 20' awning you need that many, why it don't come with 14 I don't know.

Hi Krazy Kat, The legs are not flat bottomed. In order to put on a deck, you would have to concret the legs so that they are stable. I hope you find this information helpful. - Crystal, Plow & Hearth Customer Service
