I want to buy balls and use the tent as a ball pit. Is the lip on the opening high enough to hold the balls in, or will the balls spill out?

That depends on how many balls you put in, but yes, it will hold them, unless of course the kids throw them out or thrash about too much ;) But in general, it will contain them.

Its Excellent. You can stakes to hold it down. The tent also has pockets on both sides, so you can put sand in there, and that holds it down. I have never had to stake it. I only put sand in the pockets and its been fine. Its a great tent.

No , opening are not large. I have had several parties and no spillage has occurred due to the design.

Hi Vicki,Did you install the steel poles around the sides of the tent that go from the plastic Y connectors to the steel pins in the stake locations around the bottom of the tent? If they fit it seems the floor would be flat on the ground and the stakes would go in. The stakes go at the same places that the side poles attach. The steel pins lock in the bottom of the side poles to pull the sides down. Ed

Once the zippers are open so the air can escape out, the easiest way I have found is to bring the two (2) fan bases together folding the 4 feet in and placing them in the bag first. Once that is done I collect what would be the top and sides first and roll those so the air can escape the bottom down by the fans. At this point the ball or material should fit in the carry bag.. You might have to push the fans to one side of the bag to make it fit. It took me 3-4 tries to get this down.... Make sure you unhook the screen and fold it separately. Keep it clean... HOPE THIS HELPS......

As a matter of fact, I purchased this originally as a ball pit for my son. 200 balls fills it up about half way. 300 may be a little more than what you need, but it should fill it up near the top if you do. I didn't go higher than 200 because of the nature of what kids will do in it, displacement is inevitable.

The tent and tube are separate so they both can fold up by themselves. You would have to pop the tent down. Not that difficult but you won't want to do that daily. My daughter in law keeps the tent up all the time. My grandson gets in from time to time with a few toys. Very cute.

Yes. The two sides are open and the other two sides have holes to push the balls through.

Yes, a tennis ball will sit on the flat top if placed carefully. No, the top doesn't pop out. I think maybe you are playing a relay game, and this would work.

It would hold balls, but not up very high since it has a doorway. But you could probably still get a 100-200 in there.

I would not recommend this tent for a game room. There is no bottom to keep it totally dry inside.

Yes. You can completely close the tent up. The door way is mesh and can work as a bug screen. The whole tent is a great buy. Very durable.

The rainfly fits well enough. It attaches to the support poles, but does not keep the tent from leaking. The only way I got it to shop leaking was to string a Noah's tarp over the entire tent. I will not buy another tent that doesn't have a rainfly that covers all the way to the ground. We didn't have a problem with this tent when camping in California, but here in Minnesota we get some nasty thunder storms that have high winds and horizontal rain.

Yes, I think so.... make sure it is set up right with no loose places where water will pool on the top.... great tent!

The tent does have a flap door that can be rolled open. The open circle on the side of the tent does not. That opening is for adding a crawl through tunnel in you want to.

I got this to use as a ball pit at the birthday party when my son turned one. The one year old babies played in it at the same time with it full of balls, no problem. I hope this helps

Not sure how to answer that. I can tell you that the solid fabric of the tent goes from the ground, up 2/3 of the wall before the screening begins and the fly comes lower. so sand would have to be blown up inside. There may be 2" - 4" between fly and tent body. Ive only had it up once so far and that was nearly 11 months ago. It has a overflap "pocket" design protecting the cable access for an electric cord to enter the tent.
