Does it require a wood or metal trellis for structural support? Can I install it with a few nails on the fence top and down to the ground with stakes?

I have never used a rigid frame, just hang it from some hooks on the patios and anchor at the base. As long as it is secured from the top for the weight of the mature plants, it does the job.

I think that would work as long as the plant that your growing is not real heave (I.E. tomatoes).

It comes with stakes but they're not very impressive. I haven't had to stake it yet but will probably go out and get a set of sturdier stakes before I do.

I did NOT need to use all of the included pieces of the brackets to hang the planters over my narrow iron balcony railing. I suppose if you were to attached a board or rail of some kind to your house, leaving a bit of space for the bracket to hang onto, it would work great for you the same way it did for me. (The piece I did not use, was the part used for wider wooden deck rails). Hope this helps you. Sorry for delay in answering. I LOVE the planters and have not had any problems with them in heavy downpours and/or wind.

There's a hole on the back top part, you can nail it. I put wire through the hole on mine and tied it to a trellis under my honeysuckle bush.

there are metal spikes that fit into the footings ,allowing it to anchor pretty well . I used cable ties to attach them to a chain link fence. I suppose you could put one of those screws with the circle on top into the wall and run a cable tie through the hole and around your trellis. should be stable .

Yes! The set comes with metal stakes. Each leg has a small hole at the end specifically for this purpose. It is fairly sturdy without stakes but it's easy to knock over if you hang a heavy lantern on it. I stake it most of the time, but I'm lazy by nature and it hasn't ever fallen over when I skipped the stakes.

Yes. It has to be metal. If wood, the tension and torsion would split the pole.

I have mine mounted on a wooden picket fence and it is fine. Excellent quality.

Attached to a good solid fence post on both sides it could support a light weight gate. Definitely not stand alone. It's a little top heavy, PVC is flexible and itsways a bit. I have mine over steps and the hand rails inside the arbor add a lot of support.

In my opinion you can, the trellis is made of PVC material so holes could be drilled to allow securing to a brick wall.

I only recomend anchoring the feet that attaches to the legs, with some good heavy strong long stakes. You can mfind tent stakes that look just like a huge nail. I would not achor with cement as it will rust some metals. Cement ate up my wheelbarrow bottom. Great, strong canopy. Mel

This arbor should be anchored to the ground. The metal stakes included have to be put into the ground at least 12". I don't think it would work well free-standing in an outdoor environment.

I purchased this last summer. It comes with stakes and loops to put them through. I've had it set up on my lawn for the last several weeks (just using the stakes) and it hasn't budged, even when we had a brief hale storm. However, if you want to set it up on a deck, then yes you will need something to anchor it to the deck. Also, note it doesn't have a floor which makes sense when you think about it, but surprised me when I opened it.

No ,the cross bars are too wide and if the trellis is mounted in the ground it may not be study enough.It took some time to assemble ,but wasn't too bad.

yes to your question you will need a metal bed frame to attached the poles .

It comes with heavy duty metal u-shaped stakes that anchor it securely into the ground. We have had some of the worst storms in decades and had no issues with it whatsoever. It's been solid. The only thing showing wear is the cloth canopy, which faded from the sun.

No, it is meant for a deck rail, where the top of the fence would have some depth. (If you love the idea of this planter you may be able to rig something to support the planter.)
