How heavy is it when filled with water? I am concerned it will be too heavy for me to lift.

It only holds a gallon so 8 pounds max. However you don't have to fill it completely. I prefer to half fill it and put fresh water in every couple of days. Birds seem to like to stop by for a quick drink.

It is a bit heavy, I hung it on a strong pole. However I have to say, my birds didn't go near it. Also Not so crazy about the pooping in the little bowls potential. Must note that in Winter my birds didn't seem to give a dang about water sources. However now that things have warmed up they are visiting my two Birdbaths.

I haven't weighed it. That being said, I would think it weighs approx. 7 lbs. I think it takes more balance than strenght. It felt sturdy but not heavy when I went to hang it and I had to use a step.

Don't know: I have not had a need for filling it with heavy stuff; maybe the manufacture website mentions the weight rating? It is super sturdy though.

I just picked ours up and I'd guess it weighs about 10 pounds. It's pretty easy to lift, but I wouldn't want to store it where I had to lift it over my head.

Hi I am lifting it about that much on my fountain. I do use the battery back up so I can use it at night.Thanks

Well I think it heavy. I don't move it and when I do I have someone help me with it. I'm in my sixty. It is lighter then the standard one but still heavy for me.

Yes. The tank will hold an inch or two of water easily. The tank is not very heavy. It would be a one person lift, but for its long size.

Honestly I don't know how much weight it can carry. Seems like it's thick & sturdy, but I've only used mine a few times. As for keeping things dry- definitely.

I'm not sure that it will support that much weight and definitely would not want to get it wet

I weigh 280 and it holds me fine...its a heavier material than most pool floats.

not at all heavy when empty, water at 8 lbs per gallon, obviously changes that. I'm 2 years removed from a stroke and have no problem lifting it with either hand

It is possible to lift it. Once it is full it gets pretty heavy though. I know I wouldn't want to move it every time I needed it. It is very sturdy material though.

I weigh only 185 myself (at 6 ft) and at this weight, only the bottom portion of my butt gets wet and thats only when I first land on it when I get in! It holds a LOT of air so it should support a lot of weight! The wrap around part of the chair makes it very seaworthy even in choppy water.

It is not hard at all. I usually just put a gallon or so water in it after I empty and slosh it around a little and that is all there is to it. The only complaint I have, and it is just a minor one, is that it is pretty heavy for an old man to lift to empty when I have it full of sewage. After you get it stood most of the way up it is no problem.

I am so sorry, I gave this as a gift so I cannot weigh it for you, but I can tell you that it is not heavy at all. It would be no problem for a young, middle-aged, or even an elderly person to be able to lift it. My mom is 90 years old and does not have any problem with lifting. Hope this helps!!...

It is fairly back heavy where the pump is. My fountain is somewhat near a corner on the floor, so my cat's don't even try and get behind it - mainly cause they wouldn't be able to reach the water then as the pump would be in the way. When its 1/2 full of water, its still pretty heavy and stable. Never had a problem with my two cats even spilling any water out of this.

Heavy! It's probably 450+. Never weighed it though. I'm 200 #s and couldn't lift it off the floor.

without water, extremely light about have full maybe 5-10 pounds. I don't really know just know it is light enough that with sufficient water in it my 77 year old mother picks it up with ease. Was bought for her.
