We purchased for my father-in-law for a birthday gift. It works really well on the boat. He has used it on a card table to cut up his deer. I would immagine thatvit would work just fine on flat or a little soft ground. I'm not sure if the attachment thing is removable or not bur you should be able to push it into the sand and it would give you more stability. Not sure if this is helpful or not. I do know that he loves it and was so happy we found it for as cheep as we did since they usually cost much more.

your better off with a cutting board for the ground it's good on the boat but for a boat I think it would have been better for the pole mount

It has a flat bottom so you should have no problem with laying it on the ground and using it!!!!

It will work fine, but because it uses a water hose to create the vacuum effect, you might have to remove some water from your pond after you vacuum.

It would set up on a hard surface it has no spikes to anchor it to the ground just feet. It needs weighting down in any sort of wind - a sandbag or dumbell or something.

The legs have a flat pad that would sit nicely on concrete. The problem would be to anchor it down something you must do if there could be any wind at all. From experience it acks like a big KITE.

It might if you put the nozzel attachment for it however I don't have that one on mine so unable to give you a good answer. As soon as I took this out of the box outside it was working ads a nice element to my pond\ water garden. I purchased for airation purposes

On a sidewalk, the unit will work very well. On rough surfaces, like crushed rock, it will not work well. As long as the surface is reasonably smooth it will serve you well.

I suppose you could lay it on its side, but it really is not intended to be in that position. It's rounded on the sides, so it would not lay flat.

Yes, it's one inch thick so as long as it is laying flat it will be fine. It will help if you make sure and remove the existing grass first.

I would only set it up on grass, or like a floor would be fine, I wouldn't recommend setting it up on tar or gravel. Unless you could find some type of mat/protection for the bottom..

Yes its great. I made a hole in center where the fountain head from my pond sprays up so it covers the pond , but allows the waterfall to operate. Weigh it down with some rocks in case of heavy wind. It is a terrific product and lays nice and flat

No that won't happend it nice when used on a flat surface but it's not sturdy or portable at all.

As long as it's covered and protective by rain or snow ... You should be OK. It's not adapted to be laying on the ground outside for sure. It truly works like a charm. Hope that helped. Happy shopping!

I mounted mine flush to the wall of the garage. They offer a separate stand for $30, but I would think that it would never be very stable--especially if your lawn is wet.

Hard to say. It is a narrow base and if it is on an unstable surface, it would be unstable.
