Can the planter be removed and installed directly in the ground or concrete?

Instead of bolting the light fixture to the bottom of the planter, it can be set directly into concrete or the ground using spikes which I believe are included, or any anchor-type mechanism you can find at any hardware store. We put ours in the planters, but on dollies, so we can roll them around our deck.

There's no ground insert. I cemented my poles into the ground. You could unscrew the top pole and take that out if you needed to, but you would still have the bottom pole sticking out of the ground.

The pole comes with a tube that should be installed in the ground in cement. The kit comes with instructions very easy to install.

To be installed correctly it must be drilled and screwed in place, but its easy to do. However you could extend it and lay it on the ground.

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

They come with metal pegs you can drill into the ground. We use it on our concrete driveway, drilled holes into the concrete and inserted the pegs, securing them with a washer. It's held down very securely.

Hi, No it cannot be place that way. It is essential that it be mounted above the plants by a minimum of about 3 to 4 feet. This allows the gravity feed to work correctly

I very much doubt it. It is perfect for a tv, but in no way strong enough for a concrete planter.

Mine sits on cement as well. I put a decorative hexagon step stone (they're about 2 inches thick and about 12 inches across) on the corners then a nice planter on top of that. However, I live in Southern California so we don't get much wind here.

There is no solid part of the planter... The depth of the planting space is the same as the height of the planter

No, not if you don't want to. But it would probably be beneficial to dig out the area under the bottom tier, get rid of the grass and amend the soil in that area since it's shallow there. Then cover the entire area of the planter with newspaper or cardboard. Set up the planted on top and then fill with soil. This will help supress weeds and grass underneath and will eventually break down and amend the soil.

No! It is made very poorly. I wouldn't even be able to put soil in it. I think potted plants are going to be put in this :(

I suppose it could be placed on cement, though I have mine on a gravel-soil mix that was an old driveway. If you only want shallow-rooted plants (i.e. not tomatoes) it could work. If the cement is level, there shouldn't be any soil running out; I had almost no soil loss on my almost-level site.

Both, but you will probably need a mallet or hammer to put the stakes into dry dirt. You don't need to drive them completely into the ground, so removing the stakes should be fairly easy.

I returned this item (to complicated) and opted to install it in concrete. Contact mdooling@etsmiami.com and Maria will give you complete details. Tom

It is designed to be pushed into the ground. You would have to drill holes in the concrete to insert the feet into. The feet are simply extensions of the steel tubing that the arbor is made of.

Either. The cut outs in the bottom will allow the planter to sit on the rating or you can buy "rail hanger" to hang it from the railing. Either way works well. We use both.
