can this be used indoors or does it need the ground stakes to secure it?

Ground staked for it to be secured but the stakes will pop up and the net will continue to fall..

It can definitely be used indoors. We use ours in the garage when the weather (or now season) doesn't permit.

I use mine indoors. My son is kicking a football into this and I put a 3 lb ankle weights on the front leg. It does not move. I figure a football being kicked should simulate the most force against it. Hope this helps.

I have used it in my garage with my 7 y/o son. It does need something to hold it down. I used my SCUBA diving weights. Just about anything will work.

You need something to hold it down otherwise it will tip over. If you move it indoors you could always lay something over the frame to keep it from moving such as cat litter bags etc

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.

It comes with stakes which are needed for outside. If you got plastic feet at the hardware store to stick in the bottom, it would probably be stable enough to stand on a level floor on its own. However, if anyone bumped into it wouldn't stay in place.

You don't need to ground it if you are planning on using it indoors. However, it should be grounded if used outside.

It is really not designed for indoor use as the post that holds the sections together are designed to dig into the ground for stability. There are others out there that would work better for indoor use.

I have ours inside the garage, but would imagine it would be fine outside if you were able to anchor it down. It has scew holes for anchoring.

Come with stakes but they are not real sturdy. One of mine bent but I was able to get it to work. Guess you could probably find some different stakes for it at the hardware if you want to. I read that somebody had done that.i

It is staked into the ground. As far as inside, it would need to be stabilized for it is quite wobbly on its own.

It's has its own base and will stand on its own using that alone indoors. The base has holes in it to bolt/screw it to your patio if using outdoors where wind could be a problem.

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

The stakes are metal and are sturdy enough to shove into the ground. If the ground is very hard you may have to use something to get it started like a large nail or a round screwdriver. They are somewhat delicate depending on the terrain.

No ground stake needed just an ext cord or outlet. I attached mine to the outside of my chicken coup. Very easy to set and very dependable.

Is possible to set up indoors without stakes. However, for us it was not a durable tent. We bought this for my 15 year old daughter to sleep in because she s a "rough" sleeper. It barely fit a twin air mattress and the second night camping, she woke up with a startled kick and broke a tent pole. We ended up trashing it and buying a cheapie tent at Walmart on the road. That lasted her the rest of a two week camping trip and is good for the next.

We use it on the ground but it probably could be used on a deck. I would guess the wind could blow it down if you don't have it anchored.

It comes with a stake to put in the ground and could stand some wind if placed on a table

Depends on wind. But it comes with some anchors that you could tie down or push in the ground. I have used mine on a rock patio and just put some bags of pool salt on the legs for safety. I have only used anchors once.

You can stake it to the ground but I would purchase stakes from a hardware store. The ones that come with it aren't great in big wind.
