It came with all the spike that you need. It requires 20 for the tent if you set it up completely plus an additional 8 if you add the fly and set it up completely. I got 8 of the 10" nail spikes and put them at corners and the centre cross sections and used the included stakes for the rest and it stood up really well

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.

Yes, it comes with stakes, but they are very light weight and bend easily. I got more rigid stakes after the second time I used the tent and had bent most of the original stakes.

I use the tent without stakes but it's not that windy where I am. Also, if it rains, the water comes right thru. Cool, big tent as long as weather is perfect.

Well, we just put ours up again this year on an 8'X10' deck we built for it. I will definitely need anchoring and yesterday I purchased some thin threaded rods that I am going to install between the decking boards and fasten the feet of the frame with washers and wing nuts. I don't really want to drill holes in my deck, so I am hoping this will work. Also, I put plastic shelving inside on both sides of the tent with my plants on them; this also helps to secure it from windy and stormy weather. I will need to put some kind of heat source inside, as well; not sure what though. I like the idea of the reptile heater and am going to look into that. Hope this helps.

Mine was all inclusive. That being said, I upgrade the stakes. The standard metal hook stakes are not very reliable during major storms. Have had this tent for years and use it frequently. It was a good buy for my family.

Yes you needa 10x10 foot straight leg frame, with a canopy. The canopy becomes the roof of the tent and the frame supports the tent.

This tent can be used for other surfaces. The stakes on the other hand may need to be upgraded to a more sturdy stake depending on the surface u are hammering into..

good. I made tent stakes out of 3/8 inch rebar 1 foot long, bending one end 90 degrees about 1 inch. and I tide it down,its gone through gust well over 45 miles per hour.

I would say 6. You need to make sure that all four corners are down as well as the two side poles. I rarely ever stake the front and the back unless it's really bad weather. Then I use them all to add some extra rigidity to the tent. But I would think 6 would the minimum necessary. Hope that helps.

There are stake holes for tent stakes. When we use it on our deck we secure it with these on windy days. It is so easy to put up we don't leave it up all the time.

They say pound legs into ground- that's the stakes!! In addition to that go to hardware store & buy 3-4' sections of rebar pound in next to legs- wind stainless steel wire & wrap & tighten around legs-.that's what I did!!

I use GroundHog stakes for Hammock camping and for rain flys for hammocks and tents. They are much better than the worthless stakes that come with otherwise nice tents

We have 10 by 10 straight leg tent as well and it worked great!! When ordering the ezShade Canopy will give you a choice of straight leg or angled leg. We sure do like the sun shield.. :)

I use two "anchor lines"per pole at 90 degrees to each other. If the tent is stationed in soft material like sand this doesn't work. On grass , drive in tent stakes 12 inches( at least 12 inches long) for each anchor line then fix each anchor stake with a non stretch line to the points where the tent poles bend to form the roof. Also make sure that the ground stakes for the corners, mid points on the sides and two at both door flapsAlso in high wind, I found that closing all openings with the flaps all down minimizes the effect of the wind blowing inside and "picking up the roof.Mine has sustained wind gusts up to 40 MPH. Any moter that that , I would take the tent down,good Luck !. I use two "anchor lines"per pole at 90 degrees to each other. If the tent is stationed in soft material like sand this doesn't work.
