If I want to set up any part of this tent in advance, would it be more stable with just the frame, &amp; not the roof, or side parts?

It would be more stable as just the frame for any pre-set up. But I would like to add what my husband did to make it even more stable once the roof and sides are ready to go up, at any pole to pole connections he reinforced them with duct tape, but let the pole to plastic joint pieces be put together as normal. It makes the poles permanently long for storage purposes, but it was worth it for stability of the over all structure when in use. I hope this helps...

Not very sturdy, in my opinion. It has no extra loops to hold the tent to the ground. The two expresso rods (in the front) are not stable. I would guess with a little wind it would move easily.

I would say no because you are losing a foot on each side. The tent walls will not taunt up and you will have a droopy tent. This would cause your sides to potentially collect rain in the droops (?)and likely leak. But, you could always try it and get a new 10by canopy if it doesn't work. Use your 9by over your picnic table. &#128512;

I would honestly look at a tent cot from KampRite, if you aren't moving around much location wise, it is much better, off the ground, better to lay on and easy to set up.

My tent is set up on a wooden deck. You can set it up on a driveway with proper screws for blacktop or cement etc.

Yes. Give youeself a good 2 hrs to set it up though. Poles do not hold up well in windy confitions. It wad still cheaper than s rental though.

We have only set it up on grass. I think it will be fine on a hard surface. However the tent is light weight and you may need weights to hold the legs down. I think those can be purchased if not included. On the grass you can use stakes.

The tent holds up the poles and vice versa. The framework is a bit wobbly without the tent but you could probably use the guide wires to make it work. I have not tried it though.

The legs make a broad u-shape with the "u" against the tent bottom, and the loose ends stuck safely into metal bars that make the frame for the cot. It shouldn't damage the tent.

YesI am able to set it up and break it down by myself. Though it takes some time to do it because it is quite heavy. It's possible to do it alone yet easier to have someone help you. I enjoy how sturdy this tent is as I use it quite often at craft fairs.

Since the room is bigger than your frame area, if you have the patience, you could overlap the velcro on tent part to fit at the corner areas. It's alot of figuring out but once it's done, it's easier each time.

We have taken this tent camping a few times and absolutely love it! I have tried to pay attention to the size of campsites when reserving them, but so far it has not been an issue. On our last trip the small room that sticks out from the side (making the "L" shape in the tent) was on a bit of a down hill slope, but that did not affect the stability of the rest of the tent and didn't turn out to be a problem. So far we haven't encountered any problems, but the tent would be difficult to set up on a small space that is clearly marked out (e.g. with railroad ties or some other barriers).

It's pretty stable on its own but if you have wind other than light you should tether or use some other means of support.

I would say not because the sides are adhered with 3M tape, not structural nails or screws. If you screwed the parts together with wood screws, perhaps, but I would look for a different product for this. The stability comes from the top.

Probably if you want it to be stable. We didn't attach ours because it is in a very tight space and not going anywhere, but it is extremely wobbly!

I thank you for the reply. This will be much better then fighting with a tent.

Yes it can.It was very simple to but up because the poles just slide up and lock in the position(height) you want.I have a bad back and put the tent up myself in about 10 mins.
