Could this be used on a covered deck? I would like to just set it up and move my deck plants into it. I would put heavy plastic under it.

Yes you can. I have had several of these and they are very handy, but the screen doors do not last. Course most other greenhouses do not have screens. Looking at the other answers ... mine do not have a floor, but they do need to be anchored and tied down.

Yes you could do that. If your deck gets much wind exposure, you will need to put some heavy bricks or concrete blocks on the flaps that go around the bottom of the greenhouse. This is how I kept mine from blowing away or over onto it's side. The big question is: "Will you get enough light on a covered deck?"

don't know why not - but you would have to anchor it somehow or it would blow away - tie it to posts or put bricks/cinderblocks on the edge flaps - I do that to help anchor mine

Yes it can be used anywhere. No need to put heavy plastic under it. It has it's own floor that is made of heavy plastic. You would need to figure out how to tie it to something if you get wind coming through your deck. If you use a propane heater to heat it, leave the windows on the Flower House open.

P.S. this greenhouse does not have a plastic floor according to the Florida Post. It is designed to place directly on the soil...

Hello there, this is my second Springhouse. I'm sure it would be fine on a deck. I think the "shelf life" if continuously left outside would not be more than two years as the zippers and tension straps will rot. You just need to make sure that it is secured, I placed bricks all the way around the bottom flap this year and it did not blow away in 30 mph winds, mine is in a semi protected area in California summers at the West Coast. Also,you need to know that overnight temps inside the greenhouse will get as cold as outside the green house unless you use a heater.

Yes, as the legs are separate and need to be attached. However, I don't think it should sit directly on a deck, you would have to put something under the planter to raise it slightly for drainage.

I leave mine on a covered patio. I would not just leave it outside uncovered because it will ruin it.

On a covered deck it will do just fine. I have mine in a garage, so it will hold up. Just cover the padded areas.

I haven't tried it on my wooden deck but it does transfer a lot of heat to the grass under it so I would use caution on a deck or maybe put paving stones under it to be safe!!!

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

It's pretty good size, it would depend on the size of your deck but it could work. It is more apt to be used in a yard really...it comes with stakes that you put in the ground to tie the side straps to to keep it on place like a tent.

I wouldn't recommend this for a deck railing - it's more of a window box. Have you tried planters with brackets that simply swing over a deck?

I doubt a quart would cover a deck, because you have to put it on thick, like you're frosting a cake. (And leave it alone). I think the website would be able to tell you that better. As for covering the grass and plants? I don't. But since it dries like a white powder, I do rinse them off.

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.

As long as the gound is level you could put it on grass. You would need to put down plastic or root guard to make sure grass doesn't grow through though.

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!

I wouldn't leave it set up outside all the time. It's not super thick super hard vinyl, but it's sturdy enough that I recommend it. We have ours up inside all the time in the play room and have to add air to it every now and then. But if you wanted to occasionally use it outside on the grass? it would probably be okay.

We use it on the ground but it probably could be used on a deck. I would guess the wind could blow it down if you don't have it anchored.

Well.. It's very hard plastic. I imagine you could use it on a sidewalk but it would just get very scuffed up. I think grass would be fine as well personally

I suppose you could try it on a covered deck but I don't know about outside because of rain or dew. The directions say not to use it in wet areas. I don't know how effective it would be outside because it is only made to cover an area the size of a large room. The directions say to use more than 1 for more area or if walls would block the signal from the entire area you want to cover.

I personally would not recommend it unless there was a tarp underneath. My mom puts them on her deck. I put the smaller ones up (20 gallon) on my deck. Both of us move them around on the deck (so if you had a tarp underneath would be easier to move it). Also, sometimes the sun requirements will change for the various plants you plate, ability to move the bed might be nice bonus :) Additionally, we both break down the bed/pot in the fall, so it doesn't sit there all winter. Hope this helps.
