I am thinkng about putting these around the edge of my deck attaching them to the face board, as we do not have a railing on the deck. Do you think I wil lbe able to mount them on the flat board and do you think that mounting them this way will hold...

I think they could be attached to face board, but they are very deep and hold a lot of soil, making them pretty heavy. I didn't all the depth so I put some Styrofoam blocks in the bottom to take up some space (and lighten the load of dirt). I have been very pleased with mine. Nancy N.

We bought a total of 6. 5 are on flat surfaces (such as a tabletop or stair landing) and only 1 I mounted. We used the items from a picture frame mounting kit. It had a small inconspicuous hook/pin which did the trick for us. Hope this helps.

You can mount them "under" but remember that they shoot out to the side and front, when mounted down they will project into the water and out low. Can you mount them on the siding in the front or on your rail, maybe on a bracket for the toons?

I mounted my board using those Velcro stickers instead of screws so I wouldn't put holes in my wall and you can mount it either way then. They're very sturdy and that way I could take it off the wall when I need to.

i would NOT install them on your outside deck. we used them for our basement stairs, inside the house.

They can be mounted to drywall. I would make sure that you use butterfly drywall anchors though and not the simple blue ones. You want a good grip and the drywall will be able to hold the weight. Studs would be better, but if not possible, you should be fine with this.

I mounted them in studs to be on the safe side. While anchor screws may hold the unit tight against the wall, I would not want to risk having my two boards come crashing to my concrete garage floor. Good luck!

Yes we were very disappointed that there is no way to mount them to anything. We have a wood railing on our porch and we used liquid nails to attach them.Good luck

If mounted on a deck i dont see why not but I would fear the depth not being deep enough and hitting bottom. You may want to verify with company.

the way my railing was on my deck I couldn't mount them the traditional way, I mounted under the railing, it worked great, but you have to be precise in your measurements, mark it well, have someone help you, they can hold. If you send me a cell phone number, I will take a picture for you and send it

They are mounted flush by two screws to hang on. I assume you could get the right sized masonry screws to use.

They mount to a vertical surface that I assume would be perpendicular to the flat surface that you mentioned.land perpendicular to the flat surface you're talking about

Yes they are backed with a 3M adhesive tape. I put some on the underside of a skateboard the issue I had was centered around the battery pack and that connection to the lights. I assume you will be mounting to the top of the board. You can find small clamps that you can nail on with brads. I would not trust the adhesive by itself. If you routed a small channel that the base of the lights could sit it you can set the lights with some clear silicone.

I don't know. I would think as long as there is a flat surface to attach them to.

they mount on a flat surface - not on a post - most lights go over the top of the post - these mount flat. they are 4x4 I believe. we took them off our railing for the winter as a couple had already broken and I was sure they would not withstand the winter - still need to get them out and screw them back on the flat rail.

Both are mounted to the top of the rear deck. I'm sure you could mount them from the underside if you really wanted/needed to but may take some creativity.

Yes they can be mounted. They come with small screws. They don't hold with just the adhesive.
