How many stakes does this tent take to set up? How many stakes for the tent itself . . . how many stakes for the guy ropes?

10 or more. They dont all use guy ropes. Probably 4 of them dont use guy ropes. Of course it comes with the cheap metal ones that all tents come with. We use the larger yellow ones that anchor into the ground better.

Actually only 4 stakes are needed to hold the (bent poles) tent upright, but that would be without any wind conditions. I believe it has 10 total stakes that can be used; 4 on each side and 2 for pulling the end cords to ensure the curved poles are as tight as you want. You can actually get the poles pulled pretty tight with just 1 stake in each corner of the tent, but you should only do that in mild weather. And like Joe McD says, you then have a rain fly to use and stake down.

I do around 20 outdoor shows a year and I have no problem setting it up by myself. Trick is to push from the middle of the tent and push up so the canopy extends out then it makes it easier to snap the top part in.

It's not a tent...it's a canopy and has no sides. It does come with stakes, but in loose sand, they probably won't work well.

Hello; This item comes with standard stakes to put around the base of the tents side walls and it has heavy duty black stakes to use on the perimeter poles of the unit. Please review the pictures that were provided in the listing to have an idea of what the large stakes would look like.

4stakes, one on each corner. 8 if its windy, there is loops on the corners and middle too. Drive stakes inward towards tent to prevent from pulling up

Just staking it down completely (8 pounts around the perimeter) is pretty secure. If you're expecting really strong winds then you can add guylines from the top corners. The wind fastness ultimately depends on your stakes and the soil type.We camp at a beach on Lake Superior a couple times a summer and have had strong onshore winds (strong enough to rock our trailer) and this tent with the extra guylines had no problem staying up.

yes, one person can easily set up this tent. I would set it up once inside before setting up in the wild, for practice.

It comes with it's own stakes, but I would recommend purchasing sturdier stakes, as the included are somewhat thin. Also, a mallet would be a handy tool to purchase, which is not included with the tent.

Yes, my husband and I consider this a easy/quick set up and take down screen tent. You put it up with "bendy" poles that have the elastic cord connecting them. All you do is unfold the poles and slide them through the loops on the tent. As you slide the poles through the top loops you snap them into place along the sides. There are hook type loops on the bottom four corners of the tent that secure the poles in place has you "pop" it up. There are stakes that you can use to secure it to the ground, but if you have no wind you do not have to use them. Hope that helps :)

The stakes are needed to pitch the tent. This tent will not stand on its own.

This type of tent will collapse without the staked out guylines, though you might be able to tie out to something heavy. The set up works way better when you can keep the lines tight.

It's like setting up a tent... It's a little tricky, but can be done by one person. Definitely easier with two!

First time I set it up it took me about an hour. I've only set up two other tents in my life and those were small ones. Second time it took 45 minutes in pitch black holding a little flash light in one hand. Third time it took me half an hour. Its fairly easy in my opinion and I consider myself a beginner. There are just 3 collapsible rods across the top, 6 poles for the sides and the rain fly to set up. After that you put up the optional room divider and connect the light/fan. I plan on writing an excellent review for this tent I just haven't had time.

yes, this tent is pretty easy to set up, but it is NOT sturdy at all. ours blew over within first hour of having it up and after weighing all posts down w/ cement blocks and tying it down w/ ropes, it still bent and blew over, now, totally non-usable. I wouldn't recommend this tent unfortunately.

Katherine.....it take 5 stakes for the tent. I own this tent and i can tell you we beach camp. It is a very strong tent. We had a rain storm with 30 to 35 mph winds for 7 hours. The tent bent in the wind BUT never broke or leaked. We had the rain fly staked in four places and it held up as a package. Very good tent. Hope this helps.
