Can you put cement in instead of sand,also, If you put gravel in,do you have any idea how much they would weigh.

Cement/concrete would be too thin and probably set up and ruin the bags. Gravel may work. Sand is great, cheap and does not hurt customers toes if stepped in to.

You could fill them with anything you want I'm sure. I didn't weigh them full of sand but I would estimate 40lbs each.

You can try cement or gravel, but I wouldn't. Sand is what the tubes are designed for, and I'm totally satisfied with mine filled with sand. The sand is packed hard and doesn't move around.

I don't think cement would work. Don't think the fabric would be strong enough to hold it. Sand or rock is best.

I wouldn't put cement in them. They weigh about 40 lbs if you fill them with sand, and they work great.

Yes, you can fill them with sand or water but, realistically, it doesn't seem necessary. They are VERY heavy!

Probably not the best for sand. I think the wheels would just slide over the sand instead of rolling since they are plastic. Something with rubber type wheels might roll better since they can get some traction.

Maybe. It would stab into the ground and hold pretty well, but I'm not sure about sand. Sorry.

No it doesn't take a lot to put into sand but you will need a hammer or another tool to pound the stake into the beach/ground.

Okay, there are two ways to go about this, the lamp post comes with anchor screws. I dug a hole about 10 inches by twice the diameter of the actual base, used high strength Quickcrete and just embedded the screws with the base into the concrete (you have let the cement "kick" a little before you attempt this as it'll sink if you go a little crazy with the water while mixing) You have to make sure you're level with the base as well because you don't want a "leaning tower of Pisa" which is why you have to let it set-up a little before you shove the bolts into the wet cement and GENTLY tip the base level (you need a level) and let it set-up overnight before you assemble the rest of the post...keep in mind I'm a mason by trade so I got the mix down to a science (after setting up 6 of these for various neighbors as well as my own three). A buddy of mine came up with a better plan, though. He dug a hole big enough for a cement block, buried it on it's side, put some Quickcrete around it to make sure it was stable (and level) and just drilled into the block to set his base (after he let it set-up overnight). Pretty smart and it works just fine. We've had a couple of real gusty wind/rain storms and his set-up is still standing nice and straight (like mine). Good Luck!

I suppose you could do that...why lose the portability when it is perfectly stable with the appropriate 400lbs of sand in the reservoir? I am sure there is a basketball backboard that is made for setting in concrete.

You can put sand or gravel inside. I attached to the rail gard of terrace just with plastic string.

I returned this item (to complicated) and opted to install it in concrete. Contact mdooling@etsmiami.com and Maria will give you complete details. Tom

You could probably make them work on gravel but it would need to be very flat and even. If it is sloped I wouldn't use them.

Gravel wouldn't work well because you can't slide off it onto gravel. The ramp is not high at all-only about a foot off the ground

depends on your soil, I have sand so I'm putting it in cement if you have normal black dirt just put it in to the end of the h bar and it should hold.

Yes, if you sink it into the sand. There are pipes to pound in first, then the legs slip into those.

I think you wouldn't want to cement them in as you can the adjust them over time to make sure the net stays tight. The stakes are about 3ft long, so I don't know how deep you sand is, but they should work just fine pounding them in. Try it, if it doesn't work you can always return it. We love our net!

We only used it on the beach. The directions recommend putting sand in the side pockets to hold it down. I think it also comes with small stakes that can be pinned down into the grass if you have that by the pool. I don't think it would hold well on cement.

I do not have sand stone so I'm not able to help. I suggest contacting the company.

The sand is not provided. You can either add sand OR water. I added water to mine, and it works great.
