Is the bottom piece to hold the soil in? Planning on putting it on my wooden deck?

There is no bottom piece so that the roots can go deeper into the soil. Think of this as a mini fence around the plants.

There is nothing on the bottom. It is dirt or whatever you're installing the planter on. The planter has sides only.

Yes. It is a simple rectangular framework piece made to set on the ground. I would think setting it on your deck and then filling it with dirt would not be good for your deck-depending of course on what type of material your deck is made of.

Yes, the bottom is open, so the worms can get up into it and feast - good for the composting process. I dug out about six inches since we live in a windy area and I wanted it more secure than with just the stakes.

Yes, but it is designed to be staked into the ground for stability in wind or other weather, so you may want to weight the legs with sandbags or something heavy.

The bottom of it sticks in the ground. If you push it down you could add tent states if you want but I do not think you need it.

Ours was put directly on ground. There are metal supports to hold structure circular & shelving to put the 4 planter pots on. This weight of the planted pots holds ours down.

The bottom is flat with a cutout for the cord. We sit ours on the wooden deck and it works fine. The birds love it!

This planter cannot be filled with soil. It has an open slat bottom on which you set a potted plant. I had one just like it that was made of wood. But, over the years it eventually rotted. I have found this one to be very durable.

No, it's permanently in the ground. I intend it to be part of my garden beauty. My husband put it together & in the ground. Took part of a day & it is gorgeous. Don't think the integrity of it would last if you tried to take it down over & over.

Yes but it isn't a solid bottom just material. I wouldn't put anything heavy on it.

Water will go through it. If your deck is weak it might be too heavy. It depends on how many bags of dirt it takes to fill the smaller one - that's where your weight will come from. I am guessing you won't be able to put but a very few plants in the junior one because the larger one isn't "that" large.

Yes, there's holes along the bottom. I would recommend placing your Viagrow Planter on a wooden pallet or something to keep it off the ground just for added support.

As others have mentioned there are 4 plastic screws that drill into the ground to hold it down. I can't recommend this composter though. Definitely go with the Soil Saver. It is cheaper and a much better design. You will need to add several screws to the sides as I mention in my review of it. Algreen Products Soil Saver Classic Compost bin

I have my gazebo on the ground and it hangs there bc it is a little long. I don't think there's anything built on the netting to attach the bottom.

Yes, but not the very bottom. It has a clothlike material where the legs are attached.

Hi,If you are going to put this right on your deck, I would highly recommend that you put a piece of heavy plastic down first. Then assemble the wooden pieces together on top of the plastic, and then fill it with dirt. If you set this up first right on your deck and then poured the dirt into it, eventually your deck would rot. Hope you enjoy it! It's a great little garden!

Planter is all the way to the bottom. I filled bottom with rock and gravel for drainage and stability.

I don't know, as I am using as a planter. I drilled holes in the bottom and filled with dirt and mulch. This way you don't have to get on your hands and knees to plant and maintain.
