Can these be used over a large dirt patch (that used to be grass but I gave up)?

In my experience, these need to be used on a flat, even surface - otherwise they will not stay together.

I would say yes, but know that they would get kicked around if you didn't anchor them somehow...they aren't very heavy.

I wouldn't think you would want to do that. They are made with little plastic nipples on the bottom side, sort of like Lego toys. These support the bamboo top and allow water to flow through under the bamboo. If you were to put these on raw ground, the dirt would clog up the water flow and probably promote rot in the bamboo. I think they are more designed to set on top of a hard surface like a wood deck, concrete, etc..

We used them on gravel and never had a problem with them. Never had to use them on grass.

I haven't had that problem because I always wear socks and don't get mud over the sides if I can help it. So far, I haven't had mud or water spill over. If I think that might happen, I wear another type of boot or I can avoid the problems areas in the fields. I would think these are just for casual yard wear...something that you don't get your regular shoes wet.

yes, but again, wheels are plastic so pedaling is difficult (forward & reverse) on grass. They slip.

I think if you did, the material would break down from the elements (sun&dirt;) or by the foot traffic. Sand paper with adhesion might be a better option.

They are designed to be mounted into either a deck or patio. It requires drilling a hole. I don't think they would work well being mounted into dirt or grass. They are very small; about one inch diameter. Try landscape lights with a spike.

I have used it on grass and dirt but you have to be careful and go slow. I would not try to use it on medium rocks or rough trails. The danger is in tipping over.

I have used both the small and large patches. It depends on how much area you need covered. Try them, they do work.

I am not sure if they would work or not. Depends how muddy it is. I keep them at my back door when I am gardening and if I need to come into the house I put them over my garden shoes. Love them

I put landscaping fabric to prevent any weeds, but heavy duty fabric or even a tarp would probably keep your soils from mixing. The kit fits together nicely so you would have a flat structure to attach treated boards if you'd prefer.

Yes and no. I wouldn't recommend them on grass as they would slide on you. If on concrete or other, they should be fine but don't expect to body slam people on these as they aren't super thick. And like the other said, I'd take them in every time. Rain is not your friend.

Yes I would, they are good on the street and we even leave them on the front for very hard packed dirt. Happen that helps.

I've used these on Concrete/Blacktop and Grass , But have not used these in the rain

I'd suspect you'd get some decent resistance. I have firm thick grass, so it's not a problem. The contact area of the wheels are not very wide, especially the rear wheels.

When I used the small sized patches they usually fell off by the end of the day and could not be reused. I do not believe the large patches can be reused either.
