Can you assemble without the base and put the pole into a pipe which is secured into the ground?

Yes ... but the upright pole is hollow .... and about 2 inches in diameter ... so you'll have to make it snug somehow. There is a $20 alternative with a smaller pole that still has the big flame. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=large+tiki+torch&rh;=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Alarge+tiki+torchI get about 3 hours out of a fill. They are awesome ... all that see them are amazed .... huge like you see at resorts ... looks like a gas torch.

No reason you couldn't do that.. The 'pole' screws together in sections, as well as into the base.A quick measurement shows me you would need a 3 inch ID pipe or greater..

It is designed to be used with the base. However depending on your DIY skills I am sure sothonf could be fabricated to stake the touch in the ground.

This comes with a pole that you use to make holes in the ground (need a hammer or rubber mallet). Then you place the bottom of the legs into the holes and that's it.

Yes, you have to put a rod as a ground for the device. If you buy the kit they offer, it comes with a piece of thin rebar and a pipe clamp to connect the ground wire between the device and to the ground bar. Or you can buy a piece of thinwall electrical conduit (1/2 inch) at a hardware store. You only need a couple feet of conduit, with about one foot pounded in the ground. The other eight foot makes an excellent tomato stake that will last for years.

Yes. You screw down the base and the pole pivots to where you need it, and then tighten nut to lock down.

Yes it can be assembled without the pole. The pole is very weak and mine broke with only a modest load of clothes.

No, you must assemble it. It's pretty stiff plastic on the roof etc. If you have never worked with it, maybe grab a friend. Another set of hands will make it easier. I have two, used for one year, and I am pleased with it. You'll need an adapter for a round pole.

No. You will need some tools. The instructions are very clear and it is fairly easy to assemble.

I used conduit pipe to attach it to my deck. you could use 4x4 posts in the ground then attach the fly to the poles

I assembled it and it is not design to be bolted to the ground by itself , however I plan to bolted using metal angulars, one portion to the ground and the other to the leg, probably you can find other way to do it

I would build a concrete form (wooden box ) to bring the concrete base for the pole up to the level you need. It would be a good idea to put in a few pieces of rebar to ensure strength.

The large end of the pipe goes in the base, the small end in the head of the fan. The fit is really tight because there aren't any screws holding it together, it's just a press fit. You'll have to really push the parts together. Don't have the pole extended when you're pressing everything together, otherwise you might damage the mechanism to adjust height.

Yes, if installed as per instructions, the pole sets in its sleeve in the ground. you than can turn the clothes line ans stand in one place.

Yes. Lora's answer is accurate. It comes with minimal hardware, but all that is needed to attach to a pole. 2 U-bolt clamps, 1 or 2 bolts with wing nuts, and a cable connector. Not much assembly required, most of the parts are just folded up and snap into position.

The answer to both the questions is yes . Use a hole saw for the conduit connector and the mounting to the pole can be done us an back plate or drill a hole through the box .

The pole comes with a tube that should be installed in the ground in cement. The kit comes with instructions very easy to install.

The base is attached with screws. Yes, if you removed the screws, you are left with a 90 degree plate that is welded to the pole. That is what I did with my current setup. Good luck .

Sure, the base is pretty sturdy- but you'll have to find the hardware yourself (i.e. screws, mounting bracket, etc), there's nothing built-in, like a pole-top mount or anything.
