relative to the mounting square, where is the base and does it need a concrete footing

No footing is needed. There is a metal bracket that attaches to a wood block (wood block not included) that simply rests on the ground to for support

I, too, was not sure what you meant about the base. I attached the mounting block to the deck and then ran a treated 2X4 to the ground at an angle - to keep it out of the way. This seems to work well. I am building a frame around the base to fill with rubber mulch. Hope this helps.

The base is attached to the underside joint where the final/open piece of the slide is bolted to the tube ... Probably 4 feet out from a plumbline dropped from the mounting square area above. No concrete footer is needed. I made the base out of treated lumber (I used 2 x 6's rather than 2 x 4's) and formed dirt around it to support. Very solid without concrete.

Yes. In fact, the base is not mounted when it arrives. You would have to assemble it if you wanted to use it.

I would recommend using the Achla pole system that complements the Achla pole top w/rectangular base. I would strongly advise using the corksrew in-ground pole base which will provide you solid base/foundation for the entire pole sysystem.

No concrete isn't necessary, especially if you think you might want to move it anytime. It has pretty long spikes that hold it in the ground. Mine has been in for a few months and so far so good, but I did move it once, so spikes better than concrete for that

It is mounted to the floor of the cabinet you are installing it in. The base is roughly the same size as the rail draw you see in the pictures and has four 'feet', one at each corner, with screw holes and screw slots so there is a way to adjust with out creating new holes.

The base is as shown...kind of an aluminum cross. You need to get large pavers to hold it down.

A mounting base is included for hanging on a wall. That is where ours is and it works very well there.

It Should be set in concrete. It is possible to have a heavy plate welded to the bottom at your expense by a local metal shop.

Concrete would be the firmest base, but depending on the type of ground it may not be necessary. I mounted the shed on a gravel bed and secured it with four 12 penny nails. The shed bottom has holes located at each corner for driving the anchor nails into the gravel bed/ground. It is very sturdy and secure.

The X-Mount is designed to hold up to 750 lbs. To install in concrete you need two 3/8"x3" concrete lag shields. These are sold separately at fitnessanywhere.com or at a hardware store.

It comes with the standard mounting base or you can purchase a taller one....This thing is worth every penny....

If I understand what you're asking about (bending it down to light the same basic surface the base is resting on), I'd say about a foot. I actually set mine on the shelf above my work surface-- the base is heavy enough that I can bend the business end down below the level of the shelf that the base is resting on. Not what you asked, I know, but it's another solution to the "where do I put it" problem

I'm not understanding exactly what your question is but to clarify, I did not want mine just sitting on top the ground without being installed. Had a neighbor help me and we went ahead and permanently installed in concrete. VERY HAPPY with this product and have received many compliments from neighbors. any other questions please ask. And YOUR WELCOME! :)

Sorry; we didn't use concrete. We stuck the pole into the ground about 4 inches and wired it to an existing metal fence post. Been doing it that way for years.

I mounted mine vertically so I could angle them the way I need in my backyard. If mounted horizontally there is no Sid to aside movement .

I installed mine on a wood post, but I am sure if you check with your local hardware store they can tell you how to install it In concrete and give you the items you need to do that with.

Yes the mount plate should be grounded, thru mast, tower or if in or on a tree/fiberglass pole. use a ground wire to ground.
