How many stakes should I buy?

I don't recall purchasing stakes, separately. I believe that they were included in the box. :o)

I didn't purchase any additional stakes. The ones that came with it worked fine for us.

It comes with stakes. It has everything u need. If u use on the beach just make sure you clean the shaft good before you put it away. If sand or dirt gets inside it's hard to get the pole out later.

Fill the side pockets with lots of sand once you get it opened and you should be set!

It depends on the type of ground your setting up on, I would advise always bringing a hammer/mallet of some type. If you can't put the stakes in the ground you won't have a tent, this is not a setup in your living room for fun type of tent.

It is meant to be a fast-paced game and I think more than 5 would be a detriment. You would definitely need to supplement the chips with something so that you don't run out. I would suggest buying two sets if you think you will be playing with more than 5 on a regular basis. But as a best option, I would limit the number to 5 as I think the game would run long and possibly become boring with more than 5.

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.

The package contains four (4) 10 ten inch metal spike stakes. The price is $2.00 a package. I have not found them anywhere else for this price.

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 bought 18 20" rebar stakes.. and 8 ratchet straps. But the screw in stakes would be best.

I would go with 8 smaller holes. With bigger holes, you run the risk of escape!

I haven't found them to be flimsy, but go ahead and get a dozen or so if you want longer, sand-worthy stakes. Don't ever get "just enough;" things happen.

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.

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.

The stakes are included. I left the finished run squared-off with only a little above ground level. With a hack saw, you can shorten the run. I would imagine you may be able to round it with the right tools.

I have not noticed the stakes being flimsy. I don't think you will need to replace them. If so it's probably about 10 or so stakes.

It all depends how securely you want to anchor the tent down. Here's a breakdown of where you can stake the tent:Corners - 4Canopy - 2Long side - 6 (3 on each side)Short side -2 (1 on each side)Total -14By all means, order extra if you'd like. Those things go missing all the time, and it never hurts to have extras.

There are two pockets where the sticks go into, front and middle. As for the stakes, if its windy us all of them but if not 4-5 is enough.

4stakes, one on each corner. 8 if its windy, there is loops on the corners and middle too. Drive stakes inward towards tent to prevent from pulling up

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.
