Would I be able to place these on the patio next to my potted plants?

That's what I did and they look so cute. I have two in a planter and 2 next to the plants and I love them

I don't believe they are, although if you can put them in an area that is no directly exposed to rain or snow they might be ok. If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain or humidity, I would contact the manufacturer and see if they can give a bit more information. If you were to put them in a covered patio area, that would help.

It would probably work fine. As the other responders suggested, you could lay down something on the bottom to protect your patio. The one disadvantage of not placing it on soil is that the worms won't be able to get in to help the composting.

Yes they will work on a patio - however, the individual lights are not spaced close together. This is purposelydesigned this way, because when they are laid out in the C pattern on the ground they form the twinkling blanket effect. On a patio, you may find that you'll have to use more strings, and possibly wind them around more often. You would be able to string them ACROSS the patio, above the floor space, thus creating the same effect but overhead.I imagine that overhead they would look very nice.

As long as your plants are under the light you should be fine. These are very bright.

I suppose you could if you line the bins and allow for drainage somehow. It should be noted that the corners are very sharp, so placement would matter as far as unsuspecting, exposed summer legs would go. They come with black corner guards, which I have deemed necessary to my personal safety!

If plants are NOT too heavy, yes. It would be easier to answer if you stated size of plant/pot size???

Place on concrete patio? Sure. Don't foresee a problem unless you intend to plant items that grow really deep roots. On a wood patio? Probably would need a base as dirt will fall/wash away through wood slats.Not sure if you are aware, but the wood is just the 'outline'; frame is seemingly flimsy until dirt is poured in to stabilize the unit.

We are Texas Gulf Coast area. They will will get quite tall--we do not put them in pots. I do not know about your area

I don't really see why not except for they are not as heavy gauge metal as oval galvy tubs I have used as planters before. If not filled with dirt to top I would think they would hold up just fine. Would probably make a good cold frame.

yes, you can. but pots are cheap small plastic ones. if you have better pots available, then you should repot them with special cactus soil. also you can repot them all together in a big pot. make sure pot has a drainage hole. they can stay inside but they need bright light, specially the succulents, thus you should place it near the south or west facing windows.

I would like to do the same thing for my patio. I need your feedback about your experience.

You could, but it would need to be totally shady and it might be too thick and lush. I would actually recommend cruising your neighborhood and plucking moss that is growing in sandy cracks and stone walls for this purpose. Then you can try out different types of moss and see how it adapts to the traffic on the patio. I've done this for years and it is always a sure fired way to get some nice moss going.

I am no expert. I planted mine in a pot for a month than moved them outside. They are doing great

They could be, if it is not too windy. But I would think that three or four judiciously placed would do the trick. We use one in a small, walled courtyard when we eat dinner outside. It works well and lasts long enough for two fairly leisurely dinners.

Hi Colleen, I would think there would be no problem. I have my plant stand outside on my porch with clay pots holding pansies. Part of the reason I bought this stand is because it's so sturdy. There's a local nursery where I live called Calloways. They carry the same planter, so I had the advantage of being able to see it before I purchased it. They had is displayed with clay pots holding seasonal plants. That's how I knew it would hold my pots. The bottom shelve is 12 inches in diameter. I was very pleased with the stand. And, purchasing it through Amazon rather than Calloways saved me money.

if you use real dirt they will, the bagged potting soil is light, but once you water it, they will and also it depends on the surface if it is uneven they are not sturdy enough, I find that putting them in a, soda case box or other container is better then you can be sure they stay upright
