Will this work on concrete if it isnt anchored in? I intend on hitting baseballs off a tee.

It will tip over...but we do that all the time. We just drop a bat bag on the rear corners and it's fine.

If u add some kinda weight like a sand bag or bricks at the base of the net in back , I think you should be fine.
1781126
Yes, if you use something to it weight down where the stakes would be used.
1781127
Yes it will. You may just need some weight on it. My kids used it in the grass so it didn't move.

Good question. Yes, it is anchored to the grass with 2 U shaped metal anchors that are about 5 inches in length. Once the pitch return is all assembled, you place it where you want it to be, and use a rubber mallet (or a hammer that has a wide face) to hammer the anchors into the ground. The anchors go around the short pipe between the net and the back of the frame, basically near the lower corners of the netting.

I agree with Ronald, holes are sized for deck screws, so if you can find small enough diameter bolts for concrete, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I work in field service and use this on concrete as well as roofs all the time. Get some bungee cords and you can always find something to tie it to.

The tripod comes with spikes to help anchor it in place, so those would only work on grass. If you want to set it up on concrete, I'd advising using sandbags or something to anchor the tripod. Otherwise, it could easily blow over.

You definately want to anchor this to the ground. It comes with 4 long U shaped spikes and straps that secure it to the ground. If the child swings to hard it will come up on the pavement. We built ours on the concrete patio and I tried it for sturdiness before moving it onto the mulch of the playground, it definately slides and the small end (without the house) will rock back and forth. Even now when I swing next to my son (he's one, and in the baby swing and I'm about 115 pounds) it moves a little bit and it's anchored in really good. This wouldn't deter me from buying it again since it isn't made for bigger kids (or me...)

Not sure what you are asking because these are intended to be mounted on a concrete slab or footing and if you are wanting to support a fence on solid ground then you will to dig up the old post and reinstall with concrete. But if fence is going across a concrete driveway or similar then yes it will work with proper concrete anchors.

I doubt this would work well in compacted soil like under a walkway. A standard drill would not work. You would need a drill with high torque and an auxiliary handle to keep it from twisting your wrist.

The part of the pole that is designed to go into the concrete is only about 4" long. The fence would not be stable in the grass.

Hi Leo,I haven't tried it on concrete, only on bricks and it did great job. If I have to guess - I would say "yes" but first try it on a small patch away from the main focal point. Good luck.

it will work perfectly on concrete. I used it to coat my concrete patio and it did just fine.

I dont think that it would stand up on concrete. we put it up on our deck but instead of staking we tied it to the railing of the deck. Even with that it moved a bit in the wind. I think you would need to stake it or at least tie it to something. I hope that helps. Mike

That's a good question, I never intended to use it that way. It would probably depend on the type of ground you want to drive the point and pipe into.I really wouldn't know for sure, but it sure makes fast work of breaking up concrete. For the price, you could give it a try and wouldn't be out much money if it didn't work but the motor is very strong, give it a try! ;>)

I purchased this item. Attached it to my composite decking. I would think you could attach to concrete with masonry screws and a hammer drill. Would definitely by one and practice. My concern is how well the plastic base will hold up over time - through cold winters and hot summers.

You would have to be creative to keep it from flying away, but I think it could be done with concrete bases or sand bags. Drilling into the concrete for little flush sunken anchors if it is your own concrete wouldn't be to difficult and would end up being even better than ground stakes.

I don't see any reason not to set it on concrete except the depth of the plant roots you will be planting. If the are no longer than the shallowest portion (about 8-10 inches) you should be just fine. Maybe even better as I find some of our weeds in SE Tx, even find a way through black plastic!

I'd recommend using a hilt I wedge anchor for concrete or brick applications. For wood use a lag bolt.
