I want to add a base to the bottom of this, because my LL used miracle grow on the lawn. Is the wood sturdy enough to nail into?

Should be if the nails are not too large. I recommend deck screws and perhaps predrilling so as not to split the wood.

Probably but why not just buy a solid sheet of "whatever" and just sit your planter on top. You really want good drainage or you will end up with a large mud puddle when it rains.

Just a guess I'd say yes. It's pretty sturdy and well made. Mines on a deck and were going to move it every year to make sure it doesn't rot out the deck boards. Hope that helps.

It's plenty sturdy. I wouldn't run it over with a tank or use it as a hammer but it should hold up fine for you.

You certainly do not want to damage a young, small tree with nails and screws. I would suggest purchasing a wooden post, treated, and nail a square block of wood on the top of the post to accommodate the width of the feeder. If you dig deep enough the extra weight would not affect the balance of the post. It would look quite handsome beside your tree.

The wood pieces are around the sides underneath to give it strength. I think if you give the wood a few coats of paint or varnish to protect it, it should stand up to being outside.

I think it's pretty strong. But I would use the plywood for the extra support. Good luck

Yes, it is very sturdy. The edge has a slight lip. The base is 5 1/2" across.

technically, yes. you would need long screws and be careful not to put too much torsion on them. green wood (if it's a live tree) isn't as strong as kiln-dried, so be careful.

Sturart, Per your inquiry: This will easily support normal wgted hanging plants. It is very sturdy; I would just be sure to secure it with long enough screws attached to strong enough wood. Enjoy.

It is hardwood - that is all I can add. It is sturdy for sure - I work this tool hard. It is the best tool for gardening that I own. It is well constructed.... period.

Would need some extra support of some kind depending on what was growing on it. Mine is pretty sturdy, but I have it tethered to a fence for support of heavy grapevines

No problem here ... Could screw it down into 3/4 in ply wood piece underneath the house ...

It has a sturdy rather broad base. I have one kitten that is a nut and he loves to use it as a junglejim. He has never even come close to tipping the tree over. I would recommend this product.

Using 12 inches of lumber would leave very little (if any) steel at the bottom for anchoring into the ground. If that's not a concern for you, then yes, I think you could stack the boards. You will need to use plenty of screws to make sure it all stays together solidly.

Yes. Sturdy on most any surface. Not top-heavy. Ours loosens and wiggles with use. But periodic tightening totally works. We have this in our family room. Highly recommend. Foot surface of beam feels fantastic.

Yes, the bottom is directly on the floor and the sides snap to it . It would contain firewood without a problem in my opinion.

I honestly didn't try to do that but from what I can tell if you filled a sort of deep hole, it won't hold up well in the material.If the nail or screw can go in enough to be firmly nailed in the wood under the 'Dapped' area then it should be fine. As long as it's firmly nailed in the wood (or brick).

Not without reinforcement. I had to add a piece of plywood to the bottom to do that. The bottom is thin and not built for this purpose, unlock most pochade boxes. So you can do it if you have woodworking skills. Otherwise, get a real pochade box.
