We want to put this around our 17 foot circular pool that is in the grass. None of the poles would be mounted into concrete. Is this a problem?

When mounting the poles in grass you need to lay out the fence first. Then put 3/4" PVC pipes about 12" down in the ground with cement. That way you can put the poles into the PVC. If you just put the posts in dirt, the fence will fall over

The part of the pole that is designed to go into the concrete is only about 4" long. The fence would not be stable in the grass.

I would say it is. Our fence is held up by concrete holes, but we had to tie it to the house and to the pool screen. It's sturdy, but the tension could be in question if it's just in grass. Good luck!

The poles are made for concrete only and would not be secure in the grass. The fence gets it's strength from the tension being placed on it in both direction and a solid footing is critical. The only two place we have the fence going over grass is were we secured it to the perimeter fence. To keep the strength you can only span about 6 feet or so in this manner.

No concrete isn't necessary, especially if you think you might want to move it anytime. It has pretty long spikes that hold it in the ground. Mine has been in for a few months and so far so good, but I did move it once, so spikes better than concrete for that

Doubtful unless you set it into a portable concrete base. It is designed to be driven into the ground and even with 3 ground spikes will loosen with use and require moving.

Yes you can add to the pole. It comes with two pieces if tubing. If you found the right size it could be added. If you don't want to use the base you could put it in concrete or whatever.

You will need a foot and half more on each side, for poles and boards. We love our pool and very glad we bought it. The picture shows pool sides are on ground but it actually says to put on boards.

I didn't put mine in concrete. I think there were extra pieces that may be used for that, but I am not sure. Sorry!

Yes, I would recommend weighting the frame down with sandbags (or something similar). It is pretty stable without the spikes on grass but could see it sliding around if they hit the posts or crossbar if installed on a hard surface like concrete and not weighted down.

Most likely. There are drainage holes in the turf, but more a soil application. I wouldn't see any harm in putting it on concrete, it just may stay damp underneath and you would want to dry it out or check on it periodically.

if your going to put it in concrete I would angle a sleeve slightly outboard and then just drop the pipe in....easy in easy out. However that may not be necessary I drove the anchor pipes in last summer per directions and there solid as a rock. Hope this helps!!!

I don't know if that is advisable or not. I know mine is installed in cement and in an inground pool. I do know that you want it installed so that it can support the weight of the person(s) coming out. It would have to be very well reinforced with extra framing for stability.

As recommended in the instructions, you would be better off putting it on grass as the bottom is rather thin and with littles, it could easily moveband tear on concrete. Plus, grass is softer for them when sitting in it.

100% agree with the previous post. It was not designed for concrete installation, but that doesn't mean you could not adapt it for such a scenario. We had the same issue and changed our design so that the arbor would be off the edge of the concrete patio and over a new walkway which goes to our garden. The arbor, in our design, simply sits pushed into the lawn, but it is right up against the patio and we walk through the arbor to get to the garden.

I don't believe it was made to handle that type of pressure. If you get the 60" backboard with the anchor system the plate itself is a barrier between the concrete and the pole. So my opinion would be that you don't fill the pole with cement. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I dont think that it would stand up on concrete. we put it up on our deck but instead of staking we tied it to the railing of the deck. Even with that it moved a bit in the wind. I think you would need to stake it or at least tie it to something. I hope that helps. Mike

The pole adjusts for height. The pole needs a base and will fit into an umbrella stand. This could be built into the pool surface or perhaps you could use a free standing umbrella stand.

Maybe it "could" be if one had very strong and wide decking surrounding the pool and sufficient water depth, but I don't think it should be. Personally I wouldn't feel safe climbing it unless it was bolted into concrete or stone.

I would put a tarp under it setting it up in grass or on concrete. Not sure where u are putting it just make sure area is clear of anything that can puncture it.
