Probably would want to mix some pet safe antifreeze with the water and protect the outside of the bag from rain and sun when not using.

I am assuming that you have freezing weather because you are asking this question. In theory, for below freezing conditions, you could fill with windshield washer fluid but it will add a financial hit. Mine is inside so I don't have to worry about it. The hole in the top is large enough that you could fill without spilling but I used a funnel then lifted in to place with help from my son. I should clarify.....the blue antifreeze type windshield washer fluid. Ps use the bag almost everyday still love it :).

I live in Arizona so I keep water in it but sand will work in colder climates. The core is surrounded by foam so it won't affect the impact to your hands and feet.

See if you can find a large boot tray or similar "platform" to place under the composted. Lay some newspaper and dirt on that. Then place your composted on it, start filling it, and you should be good to go!

Just need to move it slowly if filled. I have not found that to be a problem.

You could use bricks in the sand anchors instead of sand, or plastic water bottles filled with water or sand. Anything heavy that will fit in the anchor bag will do.

You can use sand or water. Water is much easier to put in and I definitely wouldn't invest in sand and a funnel since this won't last for more than a week or so.

Leave enough room when you first seal it. Then reseal it the way you did in the beginning. Iron or food sealer

I usually use about a pound & that almost fills it to the top. This product will give you hours of entertainment from the neighborhood wildlife.

It depends on location. If indoors I recommend water but be sure the seams of the base are totally sealed. Do not let anyone step on the base full or not. It will bust. If outdoors I prefer sand because of the heat. I have four if these 2in 2 out filled as I said. No problems at all. The water if used outside will evaporate and wind can blow the system over causing lots if damage.

Volume wise, they are quite large so it is doubtful if you would even come close to filling them. You just twist them shut and can then turn it inside out and dispose of it. No mess at all.

yes Greg,you can fill it with water or sand.It does tip over if you hang on it...the base does say on it 'do not hang'

You can fill it up either way, just make sure you keep an eye on the gauge and slow down when almost full, kind of hard to move when full though, I just fill it with a five gallon tank and make a few trips.

To fill to capacity it's imperative to have on level ground, but to answer specifically, fairly level; partial full should be fine, hope this helped:)

You twist off the top and fill it up from there. I generally fill it up every time I use it.

Already filled. Just pierce the seal by poking its holes with a toothpick .... it usually comes with a wooden stick

use a small sewing pin and poke a few holes in a gallon zip lock baggie for storage. You can also do the same with a tupperware type container, poke some small holes in the lid to allow the sand to "breathe".

I wouldn't recommend leaving it outdoors. Even though the "cup" is thick rubber it may have a tendency to crack when weathered. Although that piece is replaceable it's a matter of how often would you really want to do that. You may want a larger plastic tee so that you can leave it outside continually.

Yes, think beachball. You can fill it all the way up or just a small amount.
