Does the screen HAVE to be staked down for Tee or soft toss batting? I have artificial grass so I don't want to stake through the weed barrier.

No, I have never staked it down. I think it is the manufacturer recommendation but we haven't bothered with the stakes.

I sprayed the screen with Off or some other bug repellent and it did an adequate job of keeping out no-see-ums. Think most of the bugs came up from the ground, so as the other respondent indicated, it's important to have the tent well staked and the bottom perimeter kept down (I used boards). I used the tent primarily as a painting shed to keep bugs out of my freshly painted projects and it did a great job.

You could stake it but is easier to use bricks which works beautifully. Do not use water or sand. Re water it always leaks. Re sand once in cannot remove and makes it very heavy and hard to store. Bricks are the way to go and they are dirt cheap. In humid climate screen fabric only lasts about 2 seasons.

I did not use a bottom. Just set it right on the ground and filled it with dirt. If your ground is uneven, you may choose to level it out a bit so it sits straight. The corner spikes do a nice job of holding it in place as the go into the ground.

There is not a screen on the bottom. I have not had a problem with tortoise digging under, but I make sure it's on very solid, flat ground.

The grass goes down near your feet. but not that much. I do love it. ALL grass cutters throw out grass.I do not ue the cover because I store it in the basement because I live in a Condo. MY BEST TO YOU, AL.

This screen is not strong enough to use as protection for close up front toss. I have not found a good portable for that. This screen will protect from further away if you stay 4-5 feet behind it.

i had the posts, so i just used them to cover my beans because i wanted to pick underneath them, but i suppose you could just lay it on top of whatever you want to protect.fyi - depending on what you are wanting to keep the deer away from, i have foundthat the weed barrier (for the ground) works the best. they can't stand walking on it, & you have abonus of no weeds, less water usage, clean product, no rot (pumpkins) & warms the soil fora product like tomatoes! ":-) i roll it up & use it year after year.

We always use ours outside. I just make sure to use a tarp underneath and attach the stakes it comes with at each corner to secure it into the ground if used on the grass.

No. Stake is plastic. You use one or the other. You choose how you want it to look.

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

We have used it without stakes on the grass, but it will move around a bit with every throw. I think it would be frustrating to use it on a driveway, unless you don't mind re-positioning it after every few throws.

For typical yard, very easy setup with the spikes that support the poles. I purchased this for use at my daughter's school, and where they were setting up for play at a particular area, we were not allowed to spike into the grass. We were able to improvise using small, heavy metal blocks that I looped the support lines over. I would guess on a sand pit area, you could probably do the same thing with stone blocks or something similar.

I live next to some animals, horses and cows. The screen will block some dust, however once the dust is in the air it will travel over the fence. I'd use a combination of fast growing shrubs and the screen for best results.

Mine only came with the smaller pitching target/bag. You can use with or without the pitching target. With pitching target, catches the balls in a smaller separate bag. Without pitching target, it's a batting screen/net.

the grass is propelled towards the operator and to the left .... most of it goes into the grass "catcher" that you should probably have attached....that way you can use the cut grass for composting. Compared to weed whacking, for example, having cut grass fall on your feet , if it overshoots the 'catcher', isn't going to be a problem

I am not entirely sure what this question is supposed to mean. The black plastic is hard and does not allow level putting. The green "grass" covering was not well glued on mine. I am unsure what else this questioner might be asking.
