Is it too thick to drill a few drainage holes in the recesses?

Not thick bit it's cast iron & I would find it tough to drill through. I haven't had a problem with water accumulating for long - air dries it right up.

Mine sits under tabled so I have very little water accumulation, recesses are shallow and would sun dry quickly. Being a cast stone you could drill but be carful of cracking while drilling. If water collection may be a problem I would suggest grinding a drain groove into top edge to allow drainage. Checking mine the recessed area holds less than 2 cups of water. pole support already has bottom drains. I hope this info helps

It's completely solid, not sure why you would need drain holes, out sits on the patios just between to chairs, very stable

Yes, if you reach slowly and spread your feet a bit for stability. You could dig a shallow hole.

I don't think you can. There's a couple of holes on each side but I thing they're for water drainage.

No. You will need to cut out part of the bottom in order to fit a thick cord.

We did not have to drill a hole. It's been up for a year and we've had no problems but I won't really know how well it protected the banister until we take it off which will be quite a few more years I hope.

Yes. I buried the wire about 4 inches deep. The instructions suggest no more than 6 inches.

absolutely not...the suction aspect of these handles requires that non-porous surfaces be used.if you wish to drill through and mount it to a stud or use anchors-that is a different story.then again- why buy this style?

Yes, the drainage holes are pre-drilled, but they're not that big. I imagine you can cover them with glue, tape or whatever waterproof material you'd like to use - even a lining of aluminum foil might do the trick.

Yes definatly over cut it. Makes it a lot easier to fill in. Give yourself at least 3" on each side of the drain. As for the depth you have to adjust it based on the slope of the driveway and the depth of the drain.

i recessed mine. whether or not it has to be is best asked of the manufacturer or vendor.

You will need to drill the holes yourself. If you're pretty crafty, it shouldn't be a problem

No,I had to drill holes in mine to give it drainage. Don't know if you are an avid gardener (I am), but you might want to think about the extreme difficulty of planting in something without holes. I have never successfully kept anything alive that way. You're better off with a pot that has holes and a dish underneath it.

No. It is too thin and the grout lines will show. If you want to fill them in so you have a smooth flush surface, it will work then.

The gauge thickness seems okay but I'm wondering if there are enough drainage holes for a downpour. It requires many screws to install. You're better off going to Lowes or Home Depot for an easier installation.

You need the correct thickness, of more than 3/8 depth for the pre-drilled holes, the instructions calls for to make this work.

No, but you could easily drill holes if needed. The material isn't too hard.

They have similar hardware like installing an electrical outlet. I would say no deeper than 4 inches.
