Would you say it is safe to use on an apartment balcony?

the bottom of the bowl is about 4-6" off the ground due to the length of the legs, so as long as your balcony isn't too small, it would probably be ok

I don't think any open flame device would be safe on a balcony. I would be concerned about sparks. The fire pit does have a screen cover but sparks could still escape.

It is probably too big, I'm afraid. I love it because it makes a nice roaring fire but contains the ash not the flames. Really bigger than it appears in pictures. Love mine, but NOT for a small space.

Assuming the balcony is not very large, I wouldn't recommend it. Although the sections have screens to contain sparks and embers, some will still escape.

I live in a large loft with alot of living space. We have a sliding steel door that is the only thing separating us from the elements outside. I've opted to run this inside and so far so good. I'd say as long as you have a lot of ventilation you will be just fine. Also, the wick should be cut enough to not give off any toxic soot - so keep it short.

Hhhmmmm...not sure about a balcony if your spot is windy. I've expanded one of these rods to full length in a bedroom, & the rod is staying put. I use 2 of these rods of diff. sizes--both indoors & each holding light weight linen panels. They experience no weather challenges.

My wife uses it and I don't see any issues that would prevent you from using it in an apt. setting. We have 8 ft. ceilings so she can't jump to high, I would imagine, the higher you jump the more potential for noise.

if there is no wind ,,yes, My one was broken after 2weeks after i bought. Because my apt is 17th floor and there is windy at the balcony.

I rent too. It's a really good quality pole, as long as you place it where your ceiling beam is there shouldn't be a problem. Mine hasn't caused any damage and I've taken it off a few times.

I Would think it would be fine. Especially if it's not a windy day. Personnelly we have a concrete patio but it is pretty small so I use it close to the grass and the grass has never caught fire or even smoldered. Actually I have never even seen sparks fly out of it.

i am sure you can use this on a patio as long as water can't get to it that can be dangerous

Yes, it is safe to place directly on a surface because the unit has ventilation to prevent over heating.

I use it on my balcony, and it doesn't seem to be any worse for the wear. That being said, I do bring it inside when my clothes have finished drying.

I wouldn't recommend it. Because it could be fire-hazard, or treat it as one , just to be on the safe side. �

I do not think so, but I've only used mine on the porch. There is quite a bit of smoke.

I guess it could be, we use it indoors. Its all metal, so I dont see it being a problem outdoors. Good luck!

I would think it might not be safe. The leg of the ladder could twist or bend?

I live in an apartment and have a wood fence walling off one side of my balcony. I hung it up on the fence using zip ties tied around the slats. You could also use screw in hooks like the ones that you hang hanging planters from. The tabs at the top are loops.

I think it potentially can be. I would have a few concerns. The tiles dont get tied to the floor and even thought they don't seem to slip it depends how many you will put down and how close to the ledge you want to cover. I personally would try to add something to secure them better just to be sure o make sure the railing and or wall keeps them in place. Other possible issue is I've seen how some bulding management/HOAs are strict about what is put on a balcony. I would also make sure there is no rule that would make you have to take them out. Other than that it sounds like a good idea.

I would think so, though admittedly mine is on a wood floor. Don't think it would be harmful however.
