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.

I would not recommend that you use this on a wood deck. If you had something fireproof underneath - some sort of mat maybe. Otherwise, it's best used on the ground. Nice firepit though

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.

I did not because I use it on a covered deck;however, I would suggest covering it if you use it out in the open. it is a fabulous grill, so you will want to protect it. I would guess that a tradition inexpensive cover will work. You will want to use the ties to tie it around the legs, or the wind will whisk it away, whether it was made for that grill or not.

I wouldn't use it for that. Too much for plants only good on gutters if there's not a lot in them.

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.

I would think it's possible, but would put landscaping fabric followed by a thin layer of gravel just to inhibit leakage of fine soil from box. Our box is over what was lawn. We put landscaping fabric in bottom mainly to inhibit any weed growth from whatever was under the garden as we didn't get rid of the grass first. In the fall when cleaning out the summer growth we discovered that the roots of our tomatoes etc. did go down through the fabric into the soil below so we are not sure how well the garden plants would do with just the soil in the box. Flowers and/or smaller plants would most likely be OK, but larger plants might not do as well.

No! It is made very poorly. I wouldn't even be able to put soil in it. I think potted plants are going to be put in this :(

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!!!

Mine went on a deck , so I used some screws to secure it, but I also used some large potted plants on the four corner shelves and that really helped too. I am sure if you did this and then put something on the bottom of the four corner areas that you could put some heavy potted plants on.... you would be all set. Hope this helps

I don't use it outside. There is no reason it wouldn't. If my dog lived outside, I wouldn't hesitate to use it there. I would protect it from the sun damaging the plastic.

I would be careful using it on a wooden deck, as it had a metal protecting strip across the front that could damage wood if scrapped too closely. If you don't mind leaving a layer of snow on the deck, you may be able to use it.

Not sure Todd I put mine under our deck but even then I just bought some strong chains to make it where I needed it to be. It works perfect. I didn't want to use a stand.

I have used it in that way under my house and a deck. I believe this is fine as long as it is not exposed to sunlight.

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

i use this outdoors on my covered patio. the 3 flat wood pot holder surfaces may not do well on uncovered area that is exposed to all the elements
