can you stake the legs down?

Yes! The set comes with metal stakes. Each leg has a small hole at the end specifically for this purpose. It is fairly sturdy without stakes but it's easy to knock over if you hang a heavy lantern on it. I stake it most of the time, but I'm lazy by nature and it hasn't ever fallen over when I skipped the stakes.

I think so. I would recommend using ground stakes to keep it well anchored to the ground.

You push it into your ground with your feet. There is a place near the bottom of the stake to do so.

There are holes in the base. They can be used to stake the tent down on grass, but you could screw it to a deck. I have two sets of weights that I use (they wrap around the legs of the tent), and they work great.

No, My husband originally set it up that way and it doesn't work with the legs. It looks awkward to begin with and also tilts.

It is not free standing. My only concern would be keeping the stakes down in sand.

Yes. The base is flat and will sit perfectly without the stakes. You just might want to put something on top if it's in a place where they might blow away. They don't really have much weight to them.

You can put it on pavement but you need weights on all the corners if you can't stake it down.

I don't think so --- my boyfriend put them up and I think it is only if you want it to be lower

There are tabs on the bottom of each leg that can have a stake driven through them. I buried 4x4 posts in the ground (lengthwise, cut to length and flush with the ground) and screwed the legs to it via the tab holes using deck screws.

what you see in the picture is it. You have to force the two bottom stakes in the ground or if you build a stand I guess you could drill holes andl drop them in a wood board.

If you had real level ground you possibly could use it outside, but the way the legs are made you could only use on level ground.

The legs do not lower but it came with another set of legs to be used if you wanted to set it on a table.

There is no floor to it, so if your deck has space between the boards that could be an issue. There are loops to stake it down with, so if you could stake it in some way, I think it would be fine.

Yes, it has a stake that screws on the bottom. Because they're a little tall and top heavy, bumping them will cause them to lean slightly. However the stake keeps them from falling over. I've been very pleased with mine.

No way, not unless you are 6'5" and can reach the ground. Its awkward to sit with your feet on the bottom rung for a long time. It's not natural like having them out in front of you planted firmly on the ground.

You could use 2 hoop stakes one for each side kind of like the Crockett hoops to stick in the ground. It may work for support.
