Hi Demichael, and welcome to the forum!

A skybox is like any other possession or item: you generally require either land of your own, or permissions to rez objects on someone else's land, to set it out. So, you'll require either a parcel that you've bought or rented of sufficient size and prim allowance, or permission from someone else to set it out.

A temporary and not very satisfactory alternative is to set it out in a public sandbox. The problem with this is that you won't be able to leave it out permanently there: you can only set it out when you want to use it, and then put it away in your inventory again (including furnishings) when you're done with it (or it will be returned to you after a certain period of time). And on a sandbox you won't have the kinds of privacy you might want.

If you search for cheap rentals, you may be able to find a spot on the mainland or an estate that is affordable and suitable for this.

Setting out the skybox generally involves rezzing it on the ground, and then changing the "Z" value of location to the height that you want. Or if you have a sky platform, you can of course set it on that as well.

If you own land and it won't go over the prim or land impact limit,  you can rez them there, or you can look for a sandbox that will let you rez it out.. But sandboxes usually have a time limit on them, so it will only be for a certain amount of time before it returns  it to you..

Many times there is descriptions on the vendor or in a notecard with instructions for setup and requirements and the limits of things like skyboxes..
