Can this tent be used indoors without having to stake it down?

Yes you can. I would avoid setting it up on wood flours as the tent poles might scratch the floor. Staking the tent down outside helps it stand up to the wind.

There are stake holes for tent stakes. When we use it on our deck we secure it with these on windy days. It is so easy to put up we don't leave it up all the time.

The material that the tent is made of is not very thick so I wouldn't poke a hole in it. There are no loops or anything like that inside and if you want to hang something in it then you definitely want to make sure that you tie it down with the stakes. You can certainly use those 3M sticky-back hoops but I would put it low as not to weigh the top down.

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.

Not sure about that. There is a vent in the top that might allow dust to enter if blown in by heavy winds, but other than that, no more so than any other tent. Also, it's got a large profile to wind, so if that's your concern, might be an issue.

Sure, as long as you bring the tent inside after use. It is not waterproof.

Sure it will stand fine without stakes. We have used the tent for basement 'camping'. Of course if used outside stakes should be used, which are easy to press in.

No. The tent is made to be light and portable. For use just for dog shows or indoors for a few hours. None of the fabric tents would hold up long in the weather.

No, you don't have to use the walls (I only used 2 walls. They come in 4 separate pieces). We anchored the legs into the ground to prevent it from lifting, and if your concerned about wind, you should probably too. This has proven to be a pretty sturdy tent. I am happy with it

yes, one person can easily set up this tent. I would set it up once inside before setting up in the wild, for practice.

We have only set the tent up once. We set it up without staking it. If we did not stake it down we lost a little space on the corners. But it is big enough that it would not effect us.

Yes it can, however be aware that there will be no way to anchor the tent, so it may be a bit unstable in windy conditions

There are holes in the base. They can be used to stake the tent down on grass, but you could screw it to a deck. I have two sets of weights that I use (they wrap around the legs of the tent), and they work great.

Yes, we have to use tent stakes to keep it flat. Also, it isn't waterproof, so your butt gets wet if it's rained in the last 24 hours.

for the most part it is a free standing tent, but it does have a few tent pegs that help square up the floor. if your going to put air mats for the kids to lay on in the tent you could probably get away with not using the pegs.

No,you have to stake it to a firm surface in order for to stand up. Amazon has indoor fencing available.

Yes I don't see why not. When I first received the tent I set it up in my basement prior to my camping trip to make sure all items where includes and tent was ready. Stood up in the basement with no issue. As long as you have the room for it!
