How many stakes does it take for the tent and rainfly?

6+1 (if windy).It is always better overkill than getting wet. Also if you find a rock while pounding the stake in you'll feel better to have that extra one.

It doesn't matter. The rain fly doesnt't fit. The pole broke the first time I set it up. I could only recommend this for camping in your backyard at most. This thing is useless. If you want one just send me your address and I'll give you mine for free. Do not buy it.

the rainfly is sold separately--definitely get it. It snuggly fits the tent cot.

I believe it's 6 to 8. However if you buy the set of extra stakes kit from Amazon they go a great job.

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 is no place to insert tent stakes. We took ours to beach. We filled Ziploc bags with sand and put inside in the corners. This worked perfectly.

4 screen walls. I just used this for a week in a mosquito ridden campground. This is a phenomenal screen tent! Kudos to the product developers!!

Yes. It came with a bag of metal stakes. The part it didn't come with was the tent fly.

The first time we used it we spent the night in a storm. It rained heavy but not a drop inside the tent. The rainfly looks kind of useless to me because the tent already has a solid roof. The rainfly only adds a second layer to the roof and extends down slightly past the upper edge of the windows. A real rainfly on most tents covers the entire tent almost down to the ground.

This tent will stand on its own but has 4 corner loops for stakes. I use it on top of my SUV!

We just set ours up this past weekend. It comes with stakes (8) - 4 to hold down each corner along the floor, and 4 more attached to string and hooks along the upper portion (right below the arch) of the green house...similar to a tent. We have not had any high winds yet, but I assume it will hold up pretty well.

My set came with stakes for each lady bug. I absolutely love them and bought another set for my daughter. I do not know anything about the different sizes....

The rain fly (all of the orange) is staked into the ground all over, so that would not work. If you set it up without the rain fly it would just be a netted dome, completely see through. If you still wanted to do that I THINK it would stand ...there are just two poles criss-crossing the tent, they create tension when you put the end of the poles into holes on the each corner of the tent....I'm pretty sure it stood before we staked it into the ground....can't be sure, haven't set it up in a few months....

Actually only 4 stakes are needed to hold the (bent poles) tent upright, but that would be without any wind conditions. I believe it has 10 total stakes that can be used; 4 on each side and 2 for pulling the end cords to ensure the curved poles are as tight as you want. You can actually get the poles pulled pretty tight with just 1 stake in each corner of the tent, but you should only do that in mild weather. And like Joe McD says, you then have a rain fly to use and stake down.

The vestibule needs two stakes, otherwise it is free standing. Optionally the fly can be staked to give it more air

Wind is going to be factor of how well you stake out the tent. If you are going to be in a lot of rain, you'll want to use the little ropes included to pull the fly away from the tent so water drains off. I recommend getting some MSR stakes as those are much hardier compared to the cheap ones included with the tent.

It comes with smaller metal stakes that come in a pouch that you can store in the bottom of the carrying bag. Works prefectly if you bring a small mallet which I also store in the bag and you're all set.... if you're considering it, I'd go for it. I thought I'd like it but it exceeded my expectations. It even rained on us and no rainfly was needed, the bottom is also reinforced with a double layer so you really dont even need a tarp for the ground.. Technology rules!

It comes with stakes that worked fine for me, although I purchased extra on the advice of others. You will need something to drive the stakes in the ground. Also a tarp for the ground is helpful. Easier to clean a tarp than the bottom of the tent.
