Does the set need to be anchored in the ground?

I would highly recommend anchoring it. It is fairly light weight because it is blow-molded plastic. Upon initial setup I did not anchor it and we had a couple windy days that resulted in the play-set being blown a good 3-4 feet away (it did not tip or break). Since putting anchors in it has not moved and I feel more at ease when the kids are playing on it.

We built it in an indoor room first and it did fine. Outside it needed to be anchored due to uneven ground.

It really should even when you have it on even ground the set will settle some and then start to move when kids are playing on the set

I don't think the wire anchors would hold it in place in sand. They need to go into firm ground.

From reviews I've read from others, they have anchored it. There are holes in the bottom of the posts for that.

Well for me, I say into the ground for stability and safety. Unless you can anchor it down other wise and it won't be there for a long time. If its a weekend thing, sure go ahead. For longer than that, I say anchor it down into the ground.

Depends on wind. But it comes with some anchors that you could tie down or push in the ground. I have used mine on a rock patio and just put some bags of pool salt on the legs for safety. I have only used anchors once.

Yes it is secured by anchors . Needs to be on level ground and will be fine . Easy to assemble .

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.

Probably not as they need to be anchored to the ground tightly with a couple stakes at each end.

Yes you set the anchor in the ground, cement and bolt your goal and pole to it. When you move you un-bolt it and just buy another anchor system because it stays in the ground.

We have not found a need for the anchor kit with our set. I swing on it at the same time as my 5 & 7 year old and the swing set does not move.

On the set I have, the instructions direct you to place it next to the set, probably because of the safety net on the swing set, but the trampoline is completely free standing, not connected in any way to the swing set. It is stabilized by large hooks that you drive into the ground. My kids love this set and I found it very easy to put together.

No, but the way the structure gets set into the ground is with stakes that just go straight down, no horizontal anything. So, you could set two side by side and against each other while tying the posts together with something. Visually this might be a problem since the middle of the combined set would be thicker than the end posts but might be just fine as plants start to grow on it. They are extremely easy to put together and from what I can tell so far, will look like "new" even over time

Yes. You need to anchor it using something, even if loading with smaller items.

No - I just put it together with the pieces in the set. Sometimes if the set has a tree or something else in it that is not attached - I attach it fully or partially on an edge or empty spot. EH

It needs to be attached to the ground. So you can if you nail the corners down

We had to use wiring to strengthen the ties into the ground. That worked for us. Hope that helps.

I put mine on wood floors, they haven't moved, but i have my bench and my weights on them all the time, not sure if they are acting like anchors.
