Do you need tent stakes or are they included?

They are included. Not the greatest quality but they got me by on my first trip out.

There are 6 stakes included. 4 for each corner and one for the back of the rain fly, and one for the front. They are standard non sharpened stakes with the small hook shape. These will tend to bend a little if they are hammered into very hard ground. Another note: I was able to go through airport security with these, where as the Coleman stakes they were in the bag with were confiscated, as they were sharpened stakes (but of much higher quality)

There are stake holes for tent stakes. When we use it on our deck we secure it with these on windy days. It is so easy to put up we don't leave it up all the time.

Stakes are not supplied (if they were, they were too puny). You definitely need stakes (ones appropriate for the sand if you are at the beach) unless there is no breeze (and when have you been to the beach with no breeze?). The sand bags may help you hold the shelter in place while you put in the stakes, but otherwise, the shelter is a very effective sail. There is a carrying bag with the product. The bag is large enough that it is easy to stuff the shelter into the bag.

Comes with stakes. But I also bought the Coleman alten bag.It has a hammer, more stakes(I always end up bending, breaking or losing one at the worst time) and most important a stake puller to get them out of the ground and a neat little broom and dust pan to clean out the tent of any leaves or sand before you break camp. Makes the wife happy. Nice tent for two.

Number of stakes needed will depend entirely on wind. It's a large and tall tent, so it definitely catches air. I got caught in a strong wind storm a couple months back, and no amount of stakes would have kept it anchored. I ended up tying it to a tree, and the wind still almost flattened it.

Yes, stakes are provided. You can easily push them into the ground which prevents it from blowing over.

It comes with stakes. They're the slim L-shaped aluminum stakes you usually see as pack-in stakes.

Yes, aluminum stakes about 5-6" long are included. They are threaded and screw onto the posts, which in turn screw into the body of the light.

The tent comes with all the stakes u will need. However, if ur looking to upgrade to better stakes, u will need ten.

It does come with stakes. Depending on what kind of sand/ground u are putting them into is how well it stays put. We were at a lake and didn't have an issue with it staying in place.

Comes with all stakes needed for standard camping. If you are going to hard grounds or in difficult weather you may wish to get the metal ones but not really necessary

It comes with stakes. No mallet or puller. That "Kit" does not have enough stakes for this tent. Better to get longer steal stakes and a claw hammer for hammering and pulling out the stakes. Really depends on the type of terrain you are camping on and the weather conditions. We always use longer stakes in case of windy/rainy weather.

I believe there are around 12-18 stakes (or so) included in the set, but in my experience, the stakes are perfectly fine. We've used the tent about a dozen times and have used the stakes in regular grass, sandy soil, and very rocky soil, as well as through inclement weather. The we have not had a single problem with the stakes being flimsy, bending, coming loose, etc.

I recommend always using stakes. Helps keep tent perimeter tight - and using the top guys keeps tent stable. We do most of our camping in the Eastern Sierra Mtns or in deserts of Southern California. Never know when the wind will come up. Why take a chance?

Mine was all inclusive. That being said, I upgrade the stakes. The standard metal hook stakes are not very reliable during major storms. Have had this tent for years and use it frequently. It was a good buy for my family.
