Can this be set up on grass or does it need to be on a patio or deck?

You can stake it to the ground but I would purchase stakes from a hardware store. The ones that come with it aren't great in big wind.

THis is our second gazebo,the first was from a retil store and was not easy to take down,it broke. Hence we now have the DC. As with the other one we put both on the deck using deck screws. We just went thru almost tornado winds,quarter size and bigger hale and rain like you would not believe. Our"living room" made it thru no problem. We would recommend deck mounting verses grass absoultly!!!!!!! Good luck and enjou your new room. Marty not blown-way!!!

It can be set up on grass with improved steaks. The ones that come with it are pretty "bendable" We put ours on our deck with long screws. We live in a windy area and it has remained very stable.

I set it up on grass with a 2 inch sand top layer; Its been up almost a year and its great for the limited investment!

You would have to anchor it to deck somehow. It is very light weight. There are loops attached that are used to stake it to ground, so you may be able to use those to tie it to deck. Hope this helps

Nancy, it will not run on grass. It's made primarily for level pavement. It's definitely not an "off road" vehicle.

It's cushy, but not cushy enough for brick. The instructions also say not to put it on concrete. We have a concrete patio, though, and my plan was to put it on a few towels to protect it, but in the end, I opted to put it on the grass.

You need a floor for stability really. You could put it straight on the grass but it won't be grass long and you'll end up with a dirt floor. I really recommend the floor frame and some plywood...otherwise you'll be stepping up over a metal framing bar and then down into the shed. It helps keep it sturdy as well. :)

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.

This is a permanent setup. Place it in your yard and leave it there. Not appropriate for setup and take down, picnics etc.

You can use this on the ground or over a tree stand. It works good, it just takes a little time to set it up.

It only needs to be secured if it is windy. It does have things to secure the screen down. Since you would be setting it up on your patio, maybe you can tie it down to something.

For typical yard, very easy setup with the spikes that support the poles. I purchased this for use at my daughter's school, and where they were setting up for play at a particular area, we were not allowed to spike into the grass. We were able to improvise using small, heavy metal blocks that I looped the support lines over. I would guess on a sand pit area, you could probably do the same thing with stone blocks or something similar.

Grass only. Had mine on grass every time no problem. If you have it on cement the liner will rub against the cement and make holes. Also very hard if horse playing around and someone goes to bottom fast.

As long as the gound is level you could put it on grass. You would need to put down plastic or root guard to make sure grass doesn't grow through though.

We have had it on the porch, a few feet away from us. Yes, it can be on the patio. The unit makes a low humming noise, but not bothersome at all.

I set it up on a dirt patch. It comes with a tarp to put under the pool. You could easily set it up on grass or concrete though.

We set ours up on a paver patio - but patios are (or should be) naturally sloped away from the house. The result is it's not level as the water level on one side is lower (near the house). We set it up on several indoor/outdoor "carpets" and it works fine. Next time, I'd like to level the area out a bit with sand, although that sounds like a lot more work.

Yes you can go outdoors with it. Might not be the smoothest on grass. But is smooth on concrete
