So this just sits on top of the ground? Doesn't it move around? It seems a little unsafe to just put it on top of your lawn, or?

Yes it does just sit on top of the ground. But what my husband & I did was dig a little pit, & put the fire pit inside the hole. We obviously made a lip at the edge for the fire pit to sit securely, & we didn't put it all the way in the hole. So that you can still get the effect from the cutouts. Overall it's pretty sturdy! I have an almost 2 yr old & we haven't experienced any problems with safety or otherwise! :) hole I helped!

Yes, it just sits on top of the ground. It can be moved, if you want to change it's location. It doesn't move on it's own. We may have kind rotated it a wee bit to sink it in the ground a quarter of an inch? We live in FL, so our ground is sandy and easy to do that.I thought the same thing about being unsafe, but friends reassured me. Dirt doesn't burn and the ring itself keeps the fire contained with the ring. Also, if it makes you feel better, you can always pick up 4-6 flat cement squares to use as a base below the ring. It is really fun! We have had teenagers and their families over to chat around the fire and roast marshmallows. Good clean family entertainment. Enjoy! Yes, it just sits on top of the ground.

Sorry for late response- we have it on gravel. It is heavy-duty. It really was a great decision for us.

We dug a slight impression but it wasn't necessary. It is heavy enough it doesn't blow around or move easily. As you make fires (then remove ashes) it kinda nestled into it's setting.

I have built a "pit" with retaining wall stones from lowes four high. The ring sits atop the stones. The stones keep the fire safe and manageable, the ring is on top for looks and to keep taller wood contained. Look at lowes and you will be able to get an idea of how it functions.

We put ours on patio brick/tiles. We put maybe 9 of them together to make a flat square surface that extended the diameter of the fire ring. (I think maybe they were 18" x 18") It's fairly heavy and has not moved an inch since we placed it this last fall. It's not anchored or anything either. You probably could put it right on your lawn if it wasn't terribly dry - knowing that it would ruin the grass underneath. But we felt like it looked better to have it sitting on a flat designated area with the tiles.

I have it in a circle that we made that has fire rocks under it as i thought that was the safest. It doesn't move around at all, not even on very windy days.

I don't think so, it will probably end up burning the grass away underneath. Plus it may end up sinking in the dirt as legs are hollow pipes.

Do you have a high gate or fence in your yard? If so, then yes it will stay in place. We ordered 2 palettes and they seemed to have stayed in place rain or wind . Your trampoline flew across? That's crazy! Well at least this is rubber, even if it flew across but it shouldn't . I feel like when it's clumped together in one place, nothing will fly away in the wind

Not a good idea. They don't recommend even using it in grass. Still is cool, though.

I sit on mine (on dirt or bark mulch) all the time and I've never had a problem. It moves around just fine. I don't try to roll all the way across the yard while still on it because I think my weight could cause it to sink it in where the dirt is softer. I love this thing...it's a real back saver, and I like that I can put my tools and extra stuff under the seat, so they're always with me as I move around the yard.

My climber sets on the ground. It can be easily moved for mowing grass or just re-arranging the outdoor furniture. It can be staked down to the ground, but there is no need because it is very stable as-is. Hope this helps.

I have never used on grass, but I think it depends on the weight you put it

You can easily set it up on top of cement, but you wouldn't be able to anchor it, so if the animal you are containing is strong, they would be able to move it around. It isn't meant to be permanent in any case.

It is designed to set on top of the ground with stakes holding it. It is a temporary structure. That said, with some modification it could be a little more permanent.

It would probably be okay outside. I wouldnt want it on the lawn though - you should have it on a harder more stable surface. But otherwise - I would think outside would be fine. However for long term durability - I'd recommend this though only for inside ... maybe get a little tikes set for outside?

Not as designed. I mean you could probably rig it to a wall somehow. It is designed to sit on the ground. It comes without mounting holes or hardware.

We use it on the ground but it probably could be used on a deck. I would guess the wind could blow it down if you don't have it anchored.

Absolutely NOT stable on its own. Tiny gust of wind will knock it over. It needs to be secured to the ground. It is top heavy.

The top that you sit on lifts up and forward and has a handle cut into it. You can see that in the picture. Then you can pull the (wonderful) Lawn Buddy around.

It sits on the ground, just like you see it in the photo. Works really well, it's a good option. I like mine a lot.

lthough we placed ours on red brick, I can't see why you coundn't place it directly on the ground, PS very happy with this spa, works as advertised.

No, I used garden spikes to hold it on top of the ground and the grass grew over it. The lawn mower didn't affect it either. Sure saved quite a bit of work installing it. I've had our fence for almost 3 years and its wonderful!
