My 17 year old daughter used it in the house with no anchors and it worked fine

That may work. I would find some way to anchor it. I wish I could be more help I use it for out door application.

depending on how many kids you have and how aggressive they are with their bouncing you may not need anything. I know when we first set ours up outside we did not anchor it to the ground at all (although it is recommended) after a couple hours of bouncing we noticed it started to shift from the original position, but that was after the bigger kids got in on it, when it was just he littles (5 and under) they didn't seem to effect the position of the bounce house at all. If your kiddos are small and there are only a couple you could probably get away with no sandbags, if they are older, bigger and more aggressive then you will definitely need something to anchor it down.

No it has four pegs that you can easily push into the ground. Nothing like that is needed

No, I would not think so. It is perfectly fine indoors. If you decide to purchase, tell them Tiffany's goodies & giveaways sent you. They may offer a discount...maybe.

I would say it is way to big to set up inside but, if you did have the room I guess you would need 4 sandbags.

I have to be honest with you, my husband put this together and he rarely looks at instructions. I will tell you I went to home supply store and bought 4 50 lb. bags of sand to put in base (about $16). It was tough getting the sand into such a small hole, use a BIG funnel, yet still very time consuming! Any how, putting the umbrella into the base was not too hard. Dare I say trial and error? There's a pedal thingie on the base that you step on to rotate the umbrella from side to side. That's all I got for ya, hope it helps!

You'll need something holding it down especially with a reflector attached. The ideal situation would be for an assistant to hold it truthfully. I don't own any sand bags, so I can't tell you from experience how well they work.

Yes, you HAVE to fill it with one or the other. Sand is going to be heavier. If you buy the bags at Home Depot or somewhere, have them sit out in the sun for a day to dry out. Mine were slightly damp, and it took about 2 hours to fill the damn thing!!! Even with all this weight, it still practically falls over if you're doing a push kick or side kick or something. Punches, no problem though.

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.

I dont think it will withstand wind without some kind of support Even if you put sand bags on the legs I would think you should still tie down to keep it stable at the top.....

That is correct, you'll need two sets. Fortunately, they're inexpensive and the sand to fill them from a home improvement store is too!

I move them a lot, and have not had any problems either. Sandbags can work to stabilize them i windy conditions it needed.

Depends. We planned to possibly put two beach chairs in there so we would be shaded. That would work if they were low to the ground beach chairs. Definitely no more than 2 adult chairs would fit. If you just have adults sitting in there, then probably no more than 3 would fit comfortably.

Mine came with four bags but they are tiny. Maybe you can fit a sandwhich in them, but it would be tight!

not sure I have not put it together yet due to snow outside. However, kidcraft website says 12-14 bags of sand. I do not know how full that much sand would make it though, I would say probably at least 10 bags to make it deep enough to play with but not over flowing.

i put sand it makes it more stable , just use only three bags , but is just because is for my wife ,and shes only punching the bag to do exercise from her heart operation,so if you want to beat the bag real good i would put at least, four bags,but sand is better than water,Benny.

Cement/concrete would be too thin and probably set up and ruin the bags. Gravel may work. Sand is great, cheap and does not hurt customers toes if stepped in to.

Yes, sand bags might work since spikes will be out of the question on your deck. Due to the cold weather rigr now, I set my bouncy in the garage for the kids.

Mine is always set up in a lower portion of our deck so there is not too much trouble with wind, But... When I do need help, I put a small bag of sand along the inner supports .

As a rule for best support the legs should be opened all the way with sand bags, but no they don't have to open all the way. Remember safety first.

If you had all the sandbags full and maybe use the stakes as well it would be ok... We used this on Myrtle Beach with just the sandbags and sand around the bottom floor without any problems. We didn't use the stakes on the beach - it has a bottom that holds your stuff also that helps to hold it down..
