Do you think the legs with damage or puncture the bottom of a camping tent?

the legs have no sharp edges--they're bars, not individual legs. So without a hundred percent guarantee, I'd say not likely.

The legs make a broad u-shape with the "u" against the tent bottom, and the loose ends stuck safely into metal bars that make the frame for the cot. It shouldn't damage the tent.

No. The tent does have a relatively tough floor but if using a second waterproof material consider using a light weight tarp or poly and cutting it slightly smaller than the tent floor or use it inside turned slightly up on the sides.

I would suggest to either not hanging it so high up or having a ladder. I haven't had th luxery yet of camping in mine but that's th way I would go. I've thought about bringing a ladder.

Probably. I would be a little worried about the metal legs if they were in the rain, though.

I don't think it would damage it if you cut a small notch in the bottom. Hard to say without pictures.

The legs do not adjust telescopically to allow for differences in the ground. Gorgeous tent! We love it!

With the walls up, the tent was less sensitive to wind, although it was not windy when we used it. Will any tent, weighting the legs would be a good practice. What is used to weight the legs is a matter of where the tent is placed and how windy it is expected to be.

Mostly. It's not the highest end of tents I found, but would greatly recommend it for the price.I found I was not rained on after camping in light rain, but did find that the surface of the tent fabric was very moist on the interior.Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

There are pockets along the bottom that you put sand in to weigh the tent down.

Probably not. We camped that way in our early days and never wanted to use something good over the fire. They have a extra heavy bottom but not sure how they would work over the fire.

Mine did come with some damage. The covering on one of the pads for the leg raises had a two and a half inch tear. The box had a hole of similar size on it upon arrival. Will call tonight for a replacement part.

The bottom is in 3 pieces that sit on an inside ridge. I don't think legs would be advisable. 1 limited amount of space to attach them 2 if the bottom breaks then all your dirt will fall out

Sure. But the tripod-style legs could get in the way and cause a tripping hazard.

Yes, those bars are in tension holding the poles that form the dome together at the bottom. Without those the tent will be flat.

I would use a tarp of something that will help protect the bottom of the tent from sharp sticks or stones from poking a hole in bottom. Also helps in keeping ground moisture from soaking in to bottom of tent fabric. Also keeps bottom of tent clean and free of dirt and whatever. Doesn't have to be an expensive tarp, one of those vinyl tarps that you buy at a hardware store will work

I'd be careful of that ... it is an air mattress after all. Any sharp edges will damage it.

That would be a VERY bad idea. The floor of the tent is really nothing more than a medium duty tarp. The walls are a very light nylon and, I am assuming by the look and feel, fairly flammable. I wouldn't recommend it.
