Does anyone know how this anchors to the ground? Can it be set up on a concrete slab?

Yes, It can. The slab should be as large or larger then the roof line as there are no gutters and the water just runs off. The inside panels have whole for draining and anchors. The anchors are not provided.

I simply screwed mine into a wood deck and that works fine. As long as the base is firm AND LEVEL it should be fine. I emphasize level. otherwise you will have problems getting the roof panels in.

The solarium can be anchored wood or concrete. It has pre-drilled holes at the bottom of each panel for anchoring. Concrete can be drilled with a masonry bit for anchors to be installed. Hope this answers your question.

That is what we did. we had to buy concrete screws and a hammer drill with special hammer drill bit.

We anchored ours to 4x6 beams that were anchored with cement. (50 bags) We made a patio out of screed blocks and filled in the spaces with gravel. We used the drainage holes in the solarium to anchor it. We live in a windy area and we weren't taking any chances.

There are plenty of holes in the bottom for anchoring. My guess would be to either use concrete screws or drill anchors.

I purchased this last summer. It comes with stakes and loops to put them through. I've had it set up on my lawn for the last several weeks (just using the stakes) and it hasn't budged, even when we had a brief hale storm. However, if you want to set it up on a deck, then yes you will need something to anchor it to the deck. Also, note it doesn't have a floor which makes sense when you think about it, but surprised me when I opened it.

I have not had to install mine this way. However, if you know what your doing, I don't see why not. An anchor would have to be used that is made for concrete and of course a concrete drill bit.

You definately want to anchor this to the ground. It comes with 4 long U shaped spikes and straps that secure it to the ground. If the child swings to hard it will come up on the pavement. We built ours on the concrete patio and I tried it for sturdiness before moving it onto the mulch of the playground, it definately slides and the small end (without the house) will rock back and forth. Even now when I swing next to my son (he's one, and in the baby swing and I'm about 115 pounds) it moves a little bit and it's anchored in really good. This wouldn't deter me from buying it again since it isn't made for bigger kids (or me...)

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.

No. It just needs to be kept off the ground. But a concrete slab or a wood deck are good choices.

I anchored mine to a concrete wall. The package comes with screws and instructions for mounting directly to a wall stud.

I placed it on a concrete slab. You can use large flat patio paver too. Easy to wash down with a hose. Good luck

No it is not designed to be anchored down, but you could probably come up with something pretty easy.ThanksFlymotorsports

No the package comes with a wood stud anchor. It would not work for concrete, but i would not use the enclosed hardware anyways. I went to home depot to buy better hardware for a few cents.

Do you mean to hook into the ground? You can either set it up on concrete (little feet) or into the ground (pegs.) In either case you probably need weights. I used a gallon of water attached to each leg.

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 posts that hold each section together are long enough to anchor into the ground, if you are on grass or dirt. I put mine on or back patio. I follows the joints or crease of the concrete and anchored them in that. Believe it or not, that was just deep enough to hold the fencing up. I love those fencing! Works great.

We found that it was necessary to pound the stakes into the ground to keep it "grounded" with all the air going into it continually and kids jumping, etc. We didn't try to put it on cement. However, the ones you rent do fine on cement so I'm hoping it will work. Sorry not to be more specific.

Not sure you are asking about. The unit I purchased was placed on a concrete slab. It came in several sections that snap together. There was also attachment points to add concrete screws to keep the floor anchored. The side panels snap to the floor panels. I was skeptical but when the building is completely put together the floor etc is very strong.

It already has hole drilled into it. I suppose you could anchor it to a concrete floor if you drilled and put anchor bolts in the floor. I just through bolted it to a long 2 by 12 and use it outside with the 2 by 12 running perpendicular to the bar like a T. I have another one for inside that just fits inside 2 or 3 45lb olympic weights. much easier for inside and no drilling.

It is secured to ground by four ground anchors - one on each leg. It has been installed about three weeks ago and seems to be quite secure, I am pleased with the product
