Can they be filled and transported, or do they need to be filled at the tree location?

Yes, we strongly recommend filling them at the tree, as they will start watering as soon as they are filled.

they need to be filled at tree location. They have holes in the bottom, and the zip is difficult to close if the bag is full

I think it would be very tough to transport them once filled. Without a tree trunk to keep it upright, I think it would fall over and spill. plus the handles don't seem to be able to hold the weight

They need to be filled at the tree. They have holes in the bottom that start dripping as soon as you fill it.

They're not too heavy...even the big one filled and planted...you can pick it up and move it anyway. But they do have drainage holes so if you're going to use them inside, you'll need something under them to catch any water overflow.

Yes - they work very well in trees. You'll need additional chain or rope to do so.

yes you need to put lighter fluid in it. It isn't shipped filled ready to go unfortunately.

at the bottom of the fluid dispensers towards the tree there is a pin which you pull to release the dispensers from the tree. from there you put the dispensers on the bottles while they are stationary. each dispenser has a pin that you pull. after you do that you may re-secure the bottles with the dispensers back onto the tree. just remember to have the pin pulled back while you slide the dispensers back onto the tree.

When empty it could be moved, but not easily because it is fairly heavy. Filled it would be too heavy to move.

Oh, good question....they are filled with a fluid like substance. I don't know the volume in each one, but I think it'd be enough that you might have an issue carrying them on.

The weight of the water in the filled bag can topple the tree. It might pull out of the ground, break the trunk, or damage it with excessive weight. Alternatives? a 5 gal bucket with a small hole in the bottom placed next to the tree, filled with water. Ugly, but it works.

Yes. It requires an air pump or air compressor to fill them. We had an air compressor so it took about 30 seconds.

Just need to move it slowly if filled. I have not found that to be a problem.

Dont things so. You need a tree located to certain distance or a hook, or something to hold the system

Yes they would definitely handle the trip. They are pretty heavy duty. But for long term use, I have found that they do not last for more than one to two years usage for seasonal storage.

Wherever it suits you. Ours isn't attached to a tree at all-it's just sitting on our deck (which also makes it easy to fill).

It would have to be seriously windy. They weigh very little. but you could just pour a small amount of water on the top.

It is shipped empty, therefore it will have to be filled before it can be used. As with all these types of tanks they can be refilled as needed.

for an N scale train, It would be served best INSIDE THE TREE. There are track sets that are designed specifically for use in the tree among the decorations...

Depending on how many pieces of clothing you hang on the lines the clothes tree might fall over. I would not put it in a bucket!
