Will this work directly under a 2nd-story deck? I'm afraid it will be too close to where we sit. OTOH, there won't be a line of sight to the unit.

I would find somewhere else unless you enjoy the zapping sound. Also, it will draw bugs to the area in general, so it should be away from where you sit, windows, etc. In general you hang them far away from the house or areas you hang out. Mine is below the overhang of a detached garage. (On a timer so that it comes on for a few hours every night) Line of sight doesn't matter, but you'll want to empty it periodically, so don't make it too difficult to get it back down.

It is recommended that such devices be placed away from the living areas and in places where they can be seen so that proper function can be monitored. The sound effects are not very pleasant either.

Mine is on a covered deck where the wind is limited. I have not had a problem but the furniture is pretty light weight. You could add some Velcro to the cushions to try to help keep them in place. If it is a high rise and the wind picks up enough this would not be good up there. The furniture is sturdy but does not weigh a lot.

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

I would say yes, as long as the deck where you place it is even. I bought it for that purpose, sort of coffee table-like and also as a foot rest. I think it works well either way.

We have always used this between our sidewalk/yard. I don't believe it would work very well next to flower bed/yard.

There is an anchor rod that fits into a hole drilled into your deck. Ideally the hole is 3 inches from the edge. At two inches you will have about an inch between the side of the pool and the alarm but this should still work.About half of the vertical arm needs to be under water for the alarm to function properly. This translates to about 4 inches from the top of your deck to the water level. Hope this helps!

I've used it (with the extension poles) on a cape that has an elevated foundation in the back (about 5 feet above soil line to the 1st floor). I can't get all the way to the roof ridge, but about 3/4 of the way up. Not sure how that would workon a second story, maybe fine if you only care about gutter ice dams.I find that with the extension poles, it's a task to get the roof rake initially onto the roof. The poles bow somewhat under the weight of the head, and you have to leverage the unit up to get it started. Not certain how that would be to a second floor roof.

Not that I know of, but you should mount the unit high in the room with as few obstructions to the area you want to cover as possible. Units placed low in a room encounter all sorts of interference that will impede the range.

Yes, it will do that as long as the unit is not too far away from the base unit!

No it will not, you will need to put a virtual wall sensor in that area. You would have to move it yourself.

I don't see why it won't cover that distance even with the trees, if the trees are a problem, get another unit and bridge them or use a repeater for the tree distance.

I have only used it under a patio umbrella. I have it attached a couple of feet from the umbrella without issues and works as it should. Great product and I have purchased it as gifts for others. However, even though the specs don't mention distance requirements I would think it would work as long as you keep it a few feet from the ceiling.

There must be too much space between your ceiling post and the floor. I couldn't say definitively because mine was missing the floor piece when I got it, so I never got to set it up.

I have tried with 2 floor and no problem but as per theory if room/ floor has many walls or obstacles then range will be bit less. In that case you can keep router in most open space.

I have mine mounted on my House overlooking my Back Deck . My deck is about 16 ft. in Depth and it detects movement at about 12 ft .

I doubt it, Seems as tho it works best on line of sight basis. Also would depend on house wiring and metals between the floors.

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.
