Can it be used on a patio?

i would use it on a covered patio - out of the direct elements - not too concerned regarding the metal framework; however, the wood shelfs probably would warp if left out in the rain. hopefully, my feelings regarding your question will help - i am not an expert on the constrjuction materials.

Only if it is in an enclosed area, I don't think it will stand up to exposure to weather, the shelves are a light weight wood and while the metal frame is nice, it probably would not do well if exposed to the outdoors.

It shouldn't be a problem. The legs are coated so wouldn't rust any worse than patio furniture. Beware of pipes freezing.

We use it on a tiny patio very near the house and have not had problems. As long as you keep the fire itself small, I think it would be OK.

No it's slightly smaller than a typical patio umbrella. You'd have to tighten whatever screws hold it in the patio stand.

It's has its own base and will stand on its own using that alone indoors. The base has holes in it to bolt/screw it to your patio if using outdoors where wind could be a problem.

It's not whether it can be on patio, it's where you live and the conditions of the patio. You want enough sun to let the compost "cook", finding that location is KEY. I have two and LOVE them. One for this years garden and one in progress as active compost. Too much sun or too little sun not ideal. Mostly sunny is best, again depending where you live, temp, moisture etc. Make sure good balance of mixings and wrks all by itself

yes, we have it outside under our covered patio, just a roof over it, sides are open. Works great!

I use mine on the patio. You could use it in a basement if there is a drain in the floor. The leg span on mine will not fit into the bathtub.

Mine is on a concrete patio but I don't think I would put it on a wood deck.

Yes it gets extremely hot. You can put under a patio as long as you have at least 18 inches, but that also depends what your patio is covered with.

I have a covered patio, I would not use it in the open rain or to the wet elements

Only if the umbrella is very very light weight. The stand does not have a lot of weight, so it would not be a good choice to hold a typical patio umbrella - it would very likely tip over. Your best bet is to find an Umbrella stand with a larger base. Most patio umbrella stands are either made of heavy material or allow you to fill the base with sand to add weight.

No, it is not an outdoor unit! The cushioned areas will get waterlogged and there are bolt holes that would eventually fill up with rain water. If a porch was covered, it could work but not exposed directly.

Not in the open, the panels are material. Might be ok on covered patio. It is very nice looking and quite sturdy.

I have it on my patio but to tell you the truth, I wouldn't buy it. I doesn't seem to do anything

I don't see why you couldn't put it on a patio, but you might have drainage issues if you have it on a solid surface like that where the water can't drain away. You wouldn't need a base - the patio would be the base. You could put a layer of landscape or weed fabric down I guess to keep the soil off the patio. But again, the biggest concern is going to be drainage if your patio is concrete or any other solid, non-draining surface.

It is not designed for that, and is not moisture resistant, so I would not do so. Units designed for outdoor use are designated as such by UL.
