I do not have a lawn or soft surface to shove the stakes into the ground. Can I use these without the stakes on a hard surface?

Yes. The stakes help prevent them from blowing away. If the location is prone to wind you may want to try weighing them down with a brick or rock.

These bait stations are designed to be placed on flat surfaces. While stakes are included to help secure them in grassy areas, they can also be placed on concrete or similar surfaces.

definitely yes! I covered mines with a brick as a precaution and they worked just fine.

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.

I set them in front of and in back of my apartment on the concrete and they worked great

No, there are no stakes for these little cuties. They are smaller than most sets. Still, a cute addition to a garden.

I use them on a concrete floor but do not have any objects on them. They may simply flatten out a bit.

Although we have never tried them outside, I would think they would be fine on a firm, flat surface like a flat driveway or sidewalk. Definitely would NOT work on grassy surface. Just remember to bring them inside when finished. The night moisture and dirt would probably be detrimental to the soft surface. The pins are very sturdy and our balls roll straight.

It comes with stakes only for securing in dirt. It would be hard to secure it on a paver patio.

You wouldn't need the fancy angles, and it would be relatively easy. I usually use left over field fence...don't have any. It was cheaper to buy a set rather than a roll of fencing!

Absolutely, No tent stakes are required however they would help if it gets windy.

If the ground was leveled and compacted...but wouldn't recommend they be used that way.....mine are in my outside shower on top of the existing decking

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.

The stakes are metal and are sturdy enough to shove into the ground. If the ground is very hard you may have to use something to get it started like a large nail or a round screwdriver. They are somewhat delicate depending on the terrain.

I used 24" rebar stakes for mine. But I was out in the desert and worried about wind - and not much else. Those 24" - 36" spiral stakes could work if you have soft soils.

Yes, stakes are provided. You can easily push them into the ground which prevents it from blowing over.

inside or outside. the pins that hold the sections together can be pushed into the ground outside.. no stakes, just the long pins.

They are like any other paver. You will have to dig down the height of the paver to get it to lay level with the grass. If done correctly you shouldn't have any problem mowing the lawn.

I would say no unless you have hard earth and need metal stakes instead of the plastic ones

I have seen many of these this year at kids' baseball games on surfaces that are not conducive to driving tent stakes. I'm not sure how they are holding them down, but they are being used on gravel surfaces and at least a few on concrete.

We use ours in the garage... stakes aren't necessary. We've used it outside without the stakes as well.
