Can it sit on a deck or on top of the ground. I live in Louisiana and I had to fill in a huge pond due to snakes.

The pond kit may be used above ground as long as you have support around the entire outside. Otherwise, it will collapse under the weight of the water.

This one is designed to sit on the ground. A very high quality product. Love mine... Try this one for a wall mount version. Eley Wall Mount Garden Hose Reel Model 1041

Yes, but will only sit above it as there is no way to fasten it inside the top of the container. Mine sit a few inches above and catches all the water.

Yes it can. For example, I have it at about an 6 inch height and it is perfect for keeping racoons away from my bird feeder so height does not come into play as far as effectiviness and actually on top of a fence would be ideal as you would not have to keep weeds and grass cut down so they don't short out the fence.

There is no floor to it, so if your deck has space between the boards that could be an issue. There are loops to stake it down with, so if you could stake it in some way, I think it would be fine.

I have not had to stake it in the ground. The water weighs it down pretty well. It would be best to place this on grass because the kids do hit the ground as they come off of the slide so the grass is a softer landing. Concrete may hurt them. And the lagoon may get holes in it from rubbing on the concrete. So, I would only suggest grass.

It sits flat on a surface. U would be sitting flat on sand or concrete. Works better on bleachers

No. It just sits on top of base. As I have stated before, it must not be used in an area that would be prone to use by bear, dear, raccoons, etc. It could easily be knocked off the base. I only have a scattering of birds as I live in the desert.

I have mine six feet from my house on the deck. I had one that I used for 5 years in the same location. The dead bugs drop out the bottom so don't place it over your table or bar b que. Great buy!

Mines is on my deck as well, you cant attach the bottom, but it does hang low enough touching the deck and keeps the bugs out.

It sits on the ground. It works very well surprisingly. Our chickens kick dirt in it so you have to change the water daily, but it was a good buy.

I have mine sitting on my covered porch. It also sits low to the ground. I would guess that if it is in a backyard where it's going to have snow/rain you should elevate it on something and possibly tie it down with a bungee cord/something on top. It has some heft to it, but mine is plastic with a wooden bottom. It's good, but if you need heavy duty, the Kitty tube is much stronger and heavier.

It can sit on the ground, but in winter the spirits will need to be warmed up to burn. A wind screen is always necessary.

I would NOT place this directly on any surface outside. But my daughter loves to take it outside. So we allow it on the GRASS only ... with something underneath to protect the plastic from rocks or sticks. I would suggest large towels or a plastic tarp to preserve the plastic coating.

You would need at least a 2 1/2 foot deck around the pool for it to sit on. We love this poolside basketball goal. It is sturdy. The only problem we had was the net. We had to replace it.

It will float, yes. I really doubt the salt will affect it much more than, say, the dirt from floating it in a pond. I suppose it could shorten the lifespan a bit. It should be fine.

it will definately cause water damage as it is a porous material. weight is another question and would depend on the structure of the deck.
