Hi...Can this be installed under a deck? If so, would there be enough clearance to complete a chip up without hitting your head on the deck? Thanks!

There is plenty of clearance. I can get my head completely over the bar and still have plenty of room before I hit the joist.

Definitely. There's plenty of room between the bar and the mounting point. Unless you're doing extremely aggressive chest-to-bar, you won't be hitting your head on your deck.

we use it on a wooden deck, but we built a platform with garden paving stones to raise it up since it is so short. we've had no problems with it like that!

I think it would. My concern would be the bottom getting hot on the woods deck. It is elevated, but heat will get to the deck

It might fit under the ramp, I keep a case of monster down there to keep it from wobbling much. I've never measured under there

I have a wood deck too. I put sand in the bottom and used pavers to put underneath it.

I would recommend a 3 inch lip, however you could get away with 2 3/4 inches. Make sure your deck thickness is strong enough to hold the weight.

I don't think you would have any issues with firing up on a wood deck, just keep it away from any railings or awnings. However, you would be better off playing it safe. It still wouldn't hurt to buy a few pieces of ceramic floor tile or cinder block and place them under the burner.

Hi, Mary! Yes, I placed mine on my deck and have had no problems with it. It doesn't need to be anchored down because it is sufficiently heavy to remain in place. I suppose if you live in an area with extremely strong winds things might be different but it hasn't been an issue for me.

I personally would not use it on my deck. It is really small and I think a raccoon could easily open it. I keep mine on my kitchen counter and it doesn't take up much space. I'm not even sure if it was knocked over if it would stay closed. I just went and tried to open it without hitting the push button and it opened easily. Hope this helps.

We are using ours under a chiminea on a wood deck. Size wight be your only consideration.

Absolutely. This may take a little more time and may require a drill and bit and ofcourse some wood/deck screws. Thanks, John

As most others, UP is probably the true way to install, but my contractor said it could face downward! I really like it!

If mounted on a deck i dont see why not but I would fear the depth not being deep enough and hitting bottom. You may want to verify with company.

No way... the 1/4 spacing is already pretty tight. You need some room to pre-drill and than screw the board in a 45 degrees angle. If it's too tight the drill bit or screw bit will mark the opposite board. Anyway, 1/4 is already pretty close, remember you need to leave a reasonable gap so the timber can expand/contract. My deck I used the 5/16 and 1/4 spacers so I was able to adjust the total length by tinny bits... Cheers.

We have ours on our back deck. It is holding up beautifully. We have our toaster oven [for summertime cooking] and a dehydrator on it, and all our gear stored on the bottom shelf. I recommend this without qualification and definitely would buy again. Suggest, when you put it together use a bubble level to make sure it is true - our deck has an otherwise undetectable slant.

Don't feel dumb. It took me a while to figure it out. You turn it Groove side down. The groove (if it's the right size) will sit down over your deck rail. Then once it's full of gravel on the bottom and potting soil, it's so stable even high winds won't move it. A tip, there are little drainage holes in the bottom. If you don't want them to drain all over your deck floor when you water them, duct tape the holes from the inside before you fill with dirt. I bought 4 round and 2 oblong. I LOVE them!

I simply screwed mine into a wood deck and that works fine. As long as the base is firm AND LEVEL it should be fine. I emphasize level. otherwise you will have problems getting the roof panels in.
