Will a packed gravel foundation work?

I would highly recommend a sturdy platform of wood, concrete, or patio blocks but a well tamped and leveled gravel foundation would work. The floor is flexible and snaps together and acts as a base for the walls so it must be stable and level. Hope this helps.

It can depending on how small the gravel is. If the gravel is too large the tines will just grab it and drag it along. You may need to add some weight too it to ensure a good level appearance.

Yes it has great power and most surfaces. Gravel is possible but needs to be packed, because if loose it can get stuck in tracks.

I personally would not. We drilled holes in the bottom for drainage just in case we didn't get it covered before a rain. We set ours on gravel surrounded by slabs of blue stone and it seems to work perfectly.

Yes, as long as they are not compressed into the ground. I have an area with some #2 gravel that I have to avoid because it picks up some of the gravel also.

Good question...and I think it will depend on the ground you put it in. The more packed the ground, the better the chance .probably doesn't answer you, but it is pretty strong in packed ground

Works very well on gravel, I guess that depends on the user. I own my own landscape company and have several. Very well built and a huge time saver. hope that helped.

It seems that would work. After awhile you may have to reposition sand a bit ..... granulated shell may be something you like better than gravel :) i got pebbles from home depot.. not a typical aquarium gravel and its pretty

I've never tried rocks or outdoor gravel, however, the only slight problem I could forsee is impeding the rocking motion. It should definitely be on a stable surface that is even and doesn't tend to sink into the ground.

It might be fine on a packed down gravel surface but I don't think you will have good results on grass.

Gravel is just fine, but you will have to make sure that you have adequet drainage to diver water from standing around the unit.

The instructions say you do not. However, I think it depends greatly on your soil. If you already have very sandy or gravely soil that is already permeable, then it would probably be fine without gravel backfill. If you have yucky impermeable clay soil (like mine), then you would need the backfill and perhaps the fabric.

You can try cement or gravel, but I wouldn't. Sand is what the tubes are designed for, and I'm totally satisfied with mine filled with sand. The sand is packed hard and doesn't move around.

If we are talking gravel or small rocks you would probably be ok. Large rocks I would think no

I would say it's not suitable for loose gravel. Ideal for smooth concrete and tarmac surfaces.

It probably could, but only for loose gravel. It would be best to use a box scraper for that. You could add some weight to it and get a better result. When I add weight to mine, I just wire a wood pallet on top of it.
