If I want to set up any part of this tent in advance, would it be more stable with just the frame, & not the roof, or side parts?

It would be more stable as just the frame for any pre-set up. But I would like to add what my husband did to make it even more stable once the roof and sides are ready to go up, at any pole to pole connections he reinforced them with duct tape, but let the pole to plastic joint pieces be put together as normal. It makes the poles permanently long for storage purposes, but it was worth it for stability of the over all structure when in use. I hope this helps...

I have set this type of tent up in advance before. It unexpectedly rained and ruined it because the cover was on and it held water and pulled the whole thing down. It bent poles and broke connectors. If setting up in advance, leave the cover off and only put together the roof. Leave the legs and cover until right before event time.

I just put it together, I would not worry about tipping over, however if all you keep in it is light, you might have to but your foot in front of the base as you turn it.

I would honestly look at a tent cot from KampRite, if you aren't moving around much location wise, it is much better, off the ground, better to lay on and easy to set up.

The bottom of it sticks in the ground. If you push it down you could add tent states if you want but I do not think you need it.

It can hold a lot of weight for sure over 350+ but there is a bar that separates the right side from the left. What I did not like about it was when one person on the left would move ( or vice versa) the other person on the right would shift. It is not ideal. Would be great if not for the bar in the middle. Oh and if using in a tent put a blanket down under it cause it will put a hole in the floor of your tent. Hope this helps.

Not very sturdy, in my opinion. It has no extra loops to hold the tent to the ground. The two expresso rods (in the front) are not stable. I would guess with a little wind it would move easily.

I'm personally not running any fans but I would personally want to support the fan somehow how cause the tent and frame aren't the strongest but then again it might be able to support the fan just sitting on top of the tent

YesI am able to set it up and break it down by myself. Though it takes some time to do it because it is quite heavy. It's possible to do it alone yet easier to have someone help you. I enjoy how sturdy this tent is as I use it quite often at craft fairs.

I've set it up by myself before, but I felt like I was putting a lot of pressure on one pole when standing it up. If there is wind, it's definitely a two person job. I'd suggest "practicing" in the backyard before the first trip with the tent.

I would say not because the sides are adhered with 3M tape, not structural nails or screws. If you screwed the parts together with wood screws, perhaps, but I would look for a different product for this. The stability comes from the top.

That's what we use it for. The legs "fan out" so you can configure it based on where you have it. You can always bungee it to something or use some weights if you think it will be unstable. We keep them under our EZ UP tents so they work perfectly.

My tent is set up on a wooden deck. You can set it up on a driveway with proper screws for blacktop or cement etc.

It is best to read the directions first and lay all the parts out. It took approx. 45 minutes to assemble. The instructions advise the customer to put the tent together at home first before going camping, because it will take less time at the camp site. The time it takes to assemble is well worth the satisfaction that the tent gives. The top roof bars are color coded to help. Once the top roof area is assembled the rest of the tent goes much faster in assembling. Always anchor the tent with all the tabs on the bottom and always use all the guy lines. This will secure a very sturdy and steady tent. Plus when you assemble the tent always have the screen doors shut, this way you will be able to judge the looseness you will need in opening and closing the doors.

yes a lot of wasted space at top, but you wont find a better tent for STRONG winded bad weather! For two people it is actually very comfortable.

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.

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

Yes, very much so. It's coating is top notch stuff. You would need a pole or two most likely though depending on your tent set up
