Hello, does this tent require any stakes?

I recommend always using stakes. Helps keep tent perimeter tight - and using the top guys keeps tent stable. We do most of our camping in the Eastern Sierra Mtns or in deserts of Southern California. Never know when the wind will come up. Why take a chance?

They come with stakes, but we didn't use them. I would advise using them if it is windy. It did just fine and no issues not using them.

It comes with smaller metal stakes that come in a pouch that you can store in the bottom of the carrying bag. Works prefectly if you bring a small mallet which I also store in the bag and you're all set.... if you're considering it, I'd go for it. I thought I'd like it but it exceeded my expectations. It even rained on us and no rainfly was needed, the bottom is also reinforced with a double layer so you really dont even need a tarp for the ground.. Technology rules!

It does not to pitch it. But for it to be stable in high winds yes. You could get by with just staking the corners, but for it to be set up and used it does not require staking. You can pitch it and two people can pick it up and carry or turn it. The fly which comes seperately clips on and for security in high winds would need to be staked.

I believe that it would make it without them. However, It would probably move around quite a bit. We did a test run inside on a carpeted area (without stakes obviously) and the tent corners moved around with people moving on the inside. Also, without the stakes it would probably move quite easily with a gust of wind.

No, it does not come with stakes, but the legs are very sturdy. Thanks for your interest in the Bow Net!

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.

It must be staked at least at the four corners. Otherwise, the tent cannot be set up. Feel free to contact us with any other questions.

Yes the tent comes with stakes and rope to tie down. And don't listen to the other answers this little tent is awesome. I advise watch a YouTube video to learn how to fold it. Once I watched the video I can fold it up faster than I can unfold it

No it does not come with stakes. Once it gets partly full its pretty stable. But I had some garden stakes already so I used those when I first set it up.

It has holes for stakes to go in but I never used them. You might need to use string and stakes

Yes, it comes with stakes and has rings that they fit through to hold it down on the ground. We used it outside this summer with a tarp underneath it and instead of bringing it in and out we bought a small tarp to put on top of it when not in use and it held up very well.

This tent is not freestanding--it comes with about 8-10 stakes (I think!) which are definitely required. The central pole only holds up the very middle of the tent and the sides sag unless you spread the stakes far enough away from the tent.

Yes! The set comes with metal stakes. Each leg has a small hole at the end specifically for this purpose. It is fairly sturdy without stakes but it's easy to knock over if you hang a heavy lantern on it. I stake it most of the time, but I'm lazy by nature and it hasn't ever fallen over when I skipped the stakes.

Hi! It does. It was great! It comes with a little mat for the front, the rain cover, stakes and rope attached to the tent which came in handy just recently when I used it by the beach and it was windy. We were able to use the ropes to tie around a tree for extra hold. There are plenty of stakes, but you will have to supply your own mallet and you may want to buy bigger and sturdier stakes, but I haven't. So far, the stakes have worked well for me. Hope that helps. =)

The stakes are needed to pitch the tent. This tent will not stand on its own.

No stakes, just sit on flat ground. Quality of these peoples products is very good. I bought one then turned around and bought a second one. Heavy enough with or without dirt not going anywhere

No, it is not necessary to stake this tent. We used it as a mosquito net on top of a bed while traveling overseas.

No. The plastic are to cheap. You can use tent camping stakes. They work better.
