Has anyone used this NOT at the beach? Like at a park? Wondering how well the stakes would hold up in the actual ground.

I have used this in my backyard and it worked better there than at the beach which we have also used it. The winds at my house are a lot worse, and it held up well.

I actually found it worked less effectively on the beach and better in the yard by the community pool at my condo. As I recall, I was able to just use my Hand and body weight to push the stake into the ground- no extra force required.

We use ours in the garage... stakes aren't necessary. We've used it outside without the stakes as well.

It needs to be secured pretty well to the ground with spikes (12" and 18" spikes included). I would think that this would not hold up well on the beach. I would try using a goal with fiberglass poles.

The first time we set this up was on a Lake Michigan beach in very heavy winds. We didn't tie it down at all, just staked it down in the normal way. As we were on the beach we used sand stakes. Because of the heavy winds it took 3 of us to set it up but we had no problems after it was set up.

Yes it comes with the stakes,but I found it works better if you dig about a five inch hole then cover the stakes with sand . If the wind is strong.

Yes, it comes with stakes and has rings that they fit through to hold it down on the ground. We used it outside this summer with a tarp underneath it and instead of bringing it in and out we bought a small tarp to put on top of it when not in use and it held up very well.

The stakes that came with the canopy were a bit thin in my opinion. Coleman sells a tent kit (http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-830B400T-Tent-Kit/dp/B0009PUQ8M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369870717&sr;=8-1&keywords;=coleman+tent+kit) that has some sturdier stakes or you can search for Coleman 10" stakes. They work great in compact dirt, can't speak to sand.

I wouldn't use it at the beach, the top is all mesh and as far as I can see there is no anchor. It is also relatively flimsy (though is fine for indoor use). That all said, our kids love this tent!

Hi. It comes with stakes and you need to use them. You also need the guide lines. This tent does not stay up without it so that means you need good soil too. I tried using this tent on the beach and ended up with it laying on top of me. Hope this helps.

Highly recommended. We took it to burning man last year.. In addition to the heavy winds, sand storms and extreme heat, it stood up pretty good in the rain one evening. I would recommend using commercial grade stakes to keep it bolted to the ground. The ones that are included are to flimsy.. Just my 2 cents..

No, the stakes go into the ground, they wouldn't be useful. I would recommend bags of sand or some type of weight to hold the trampoline down from the wind, if thats a factor.

The stakes are metal and are sturdy enough to shove into the ground. If the ground is very hard you may have to use something to get it started like a large nail or a round screwdriver. They are somewhat delicate depending on the terrain.

I use without a stake. I wrapped it around my post and hooked one end and the other end to the dog. This tie out is awesome and still looks brand new after surviving our horrible weather. I also have several dogs ranging from 25 lbs to 109 lbs. it's great.

There is a lip around the base of the 'rock' with a few holes drilled where you might be able to anchor it down with some thin stakes or bent pieces of wire. That would be if you place it in an area where you can drive the stakes into the soil. The rock does not come with any stakes or pegs when it is shipped to you and it is relatively light and would be blown away in a strong wind if it is not anchored down.

No stakes, just sit on flat ground. Quality of these peoples products is very good. I bought one then turned around and bought a second one. Heavy enough with or without dirt not going anywhere

It comes with stakes only for securing in dirt. It would be hard to secure it on a paver patio.

I think it would hold up pretty good. You "nail" the tent down to the beach with stakes. So the better you secure the stakes the better it will hold up.
