Does the frame need to be staked into the ground? or could it be used on a driveway or concrete floor (i.e. in a garage in the winter)? Thanks.

I'd think that you have to put some sort of anchor on it unless you're throwing nerf balls at it. you might be able to put it next to a wall or put some weights on it to hold it in place. Never tried it but the grandkids loved it.

The one I have is clear plastic mesh (heavy duty). Legs are meant to be anchored to the ground, but I just put is up in my yard without anchoring it with no problems. You can set it on concrete.

We have it free standing in the garage on a concrete floor, unattached to the wall, and it works greatIf you wanted to attach to wall for safety, that would probably work fin as well.Hope that helps

The legs have a flat pad that would sit nicely on concrete. The problem would be to anchor it down something you must do if there could be any wind at all. From experience it acks like a big KITE.

Hello, yes this can be used in a garage. We used it outdoors on the fence and it worked very well.

As others have said, it is possible to stand it up without using stakes, but only if the ground is relatively hard. I have tried it on my grass without staking it in and it was leaning back too much so I had to stake it in. A driveway should be fine, barring any wind, etc. This is a great screen. Highly recommended.

it gets staked into ground. works well. very light, easy to assemble and disassemble but strong winds can knock it down sometimes.

It can be placed anywhere at all,but if you live in a cold weather climate,you will have to insulate it somehow to keep it from freezing,of course.Maybe even build an insulated box around it.We put ours in the garage.

I wouldn't put it outside because it is so close to the ground. We have ours in our sons bedroom and he loves it!

It will stand up fine on a concrete surface and is very stable. It has been my experience that staking is mainly for windy conditions. Again, from past experience, if it is not staked, medium to high wind can cause it to lift, roll, flip and damage the frame. I would not leave it up unstaked in wind. I do leave mine up all the time; however, it is nestled and secured between 4 posts at the corners. I hope this helps and best of luck!

No, this unit does not need to be staked. We bought it as a birthday gift for our grandkids, ages 2,3,4 and 6. They absolutely love it!!! Any of them can ride on it with no problem of tipping over.

It could stand in concrete so long as it does not need fastened down. It also has stakes.

As long as it's covered and protective by rain or snow ... You should be OK. It's not adapted to be laying on the ground outside for sure. It truly works like a charm. Hope that helped. Happy shopping!

Must be staked. Even then it will blow over in a light breeze. Wasn't worth the money I spent on it. Replaced it with Cabela's privy shelter: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Privy-Shelter/1322157.uts?productVariantId=3017943&srccode;=cii_17588969&cpncode;=41-48059898-2&WT.tsrc;=CSE&WT.mc;_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z;_mc_id1=03290415&rid;=20

It can be placed on hard pavement. However, to prevent any wind related movement or damage, I highly recommend using weights on each leg. Even when possible to use in ground stakes I use leg weights.

They come with metal pegs you can drill into the ground. We use it on our concrete driveway, drilled holes into the concrete and inserted the pegs, securing them with a washer. It's held down very securely.

Yes, I would recommend weighting the frame down with sandbags (or something similar). It is pretty stable without the spikes on grass but could see it sliding around if they hit the posts or crossbar if installed on a hard surface like concrete and not weighted down.
