I don't recall purchasing stakes, separately. I believe that they were included in the box. :o)

I didn't purchase any additional stakes. The ones that came with it worked fine for us.

It comes with stakes. It has everything u need. If u use on the beach just make sure you clean the shaft good before you put it away. If sand or dirt gets inside it's hard to get the pole out later.

Fill the side pockets with lots of sand once you get it opened and you should be set!

I would go with 8 smaller holes. With bigger holes, you run the risk of escape!

4stakes, one on each corner.8 if its windy, there is loops on the corners and middle too. Drive stakes inward towards tent to prevent from pulling up

It should include 3 types of stakes, heavy duty metal ones, skinny ones and plastic ones.

I use a rock. If you aren't interested in saving weight, I would suggest a cheaper, tougher, heavy, plastic tent stake that doesn't cost $2.50 each. They are bullet proof, while these need to be cared for.

As long as the stake are metal, you will be fine. Surveyors used to use simple steel spikes when marking boundaries. Now they seem to use wood stakes more. Hope that helps

It comes with stakes that worked fine for me, although I purchased extra on the advice of others. You will need something to drive the stakes in the ground. Also a tarp for the ground is helpful. Easier to clean a tarp than the bottom of the tent.

Yes, we just did a trial set up. The stakes are really sturdy so I would suggest a good mallet.

Hi jessi. These stakes work well in soft ground. I replaced mine with a couple packs from our local dollar store. for $2.50 I have six plastic stakes. FYI.:)

Actually only 4 stakes are needed to hold the (bent poles) tent upright, but that would be without any wind conditions. I believe it has 10 total stakes that can be used; 4 on each side and 2 for pulling the end cords to ensure the curved poles are as tight as you want. You can actually get the poles pulled pretty tight with just 1 stake in each corner of the tent, but you should only do that in mild weather. And like Joe McD says, you then have a rain fly to use and stake down.

PS. as for the ground stake, it's worth investing in metal stakes. They will be much more secure. Strong enough to cross two torches like an "X"

I believe it's 6 to 8. However if you buy the set of extra stakes kit from Amazon they go a great job.

I didnt buy any extra balls other then the like 20 i had from my other ball pit. it just depends on how many balls you want for the pool, id think 2-300 would be good. but idk

It is meant to be a fast-paced game and I think more than 5 would be a detriment. You would definitely need to supplement the chips with something so that you don't run out. I would suggest buying two sets if you think you will be playing with more than 5 on a regular basis. But as a best option, I would limit the number to 5 as I think the game would run long and possibly become boring with more than 5.

We just set ours up this past weekend. It comes with stakes (8) - 4 to hold down each corner along the floor, and 4 more attached to string and hooks along the upper portion (right below the arch) of the green house...similar to a tent. We have not had any high winds yet, but I assume it will hold up pretty well.

I wouldn't, you need longer stakes for a beach, the sand won't hold them well and wind is more likely at a beach I would try 3 feet stakes

There are two pockets where the sticks go into, front and middle. As for the stakes, if its windy us all of them but if not 4-5 is enough.
