Could you not install the safety gate? AND to stabilize it could you stake it to ground ?

I have my safety gate installed. I have kids and was an important feature. The plastic clips are pretty difficult to install even heated to soften the plastic and both mine cracked. I ended up rigging an attachment the kids can not undo and it also allows the gate to open all the way. As for staking, you could if you have u clips. Its not necessary if you put weight in the ladder. I used 2 50lb bags of white marble chips and a funnel.

we had a couple of hinges that were broke, but the manufacturer replaced those and the safety gate was installed with no problems.. and we havent had any problems with the stairs.. we actually love them and they work great.. i am not sure if you could stake it to the ground or if you would even want to.. it doesnt need it..

we were able to attach the safety gate which doesn't touch the ground. It is hinged on one side and opens up but there is no way to keep it to stay open and it takes a bit of the step room as well as it hits you because it wants to close. We are installing a hook and eye thing to it to secure it open when in use and hope that will work.

If it is straight NO! Either zig-zag it to make it stand or put stakes in the ground to hold it.

I am not sure, but I wouldn't risk it. I would either clear a wide circle around where to place the place or, do as I do, place it on a low wooden platform.

You can set it however you want. The octagon is the most stable setup you can do for this gate. If you change the shape it less stable along the walls a child may push it over or pull it over. I have used it in multiple configurations with no problems but you notice the difference.

You really can't because there is nothing in the ends to hold in place like an actual gate. Unless you have the perfect fit for one panel I don't recommend using it as a gate. It's very light also. Could be easily knocked down.

You could but you would have to splice the wire and then the connection would not be rated to be 'in ground' I wouldn't recommend it.

With the equipment the manufacturer has provided, not a chance. Even on a lawn, the stakes are useless. I suggest doing what I did: If you have a couple of large boulders on your property, lay them across the rear horizontal frame. They will keep the net from moving, and they will not interfere with the net itself.

It would set up on a hard surface it has no spikes to anchor it to the ground just feet. It needs weighting down in any sort of wind - a sandbag or dumbell or something.

Yes, you can do that. You will need to brace it in any case so it doesn't collapse.

It's a pressure gate, so no. It wouldn't be safe. You need a gate specifically for the top of stairs which is connected to the post or wall.

The gate ends need to be on a flat surface so you would NOT be able to use on an angle.

To be installed correctly it must be drilled and screwed in place, but its easy to do. However you could extend it and lay it on the ground.

Not well - stakes go into the ground. Wouldn't be very stable without the stakes.

Probably not. It needs a very solid post underneath and the hardware that comes with it is for that exact purpose. We have ours mounted to a 4 x 4 inch piece of wood installed in cement. We really like it for lots of reasons, but you would have to buy different hardware to attach it to a gate or fence, and you might not be equally happy with the result

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

You would have to be creative to keep it from flying away, but I think it could be done with concrete bases or sand bags. Drilling into the concrete for little flush sunken anchors if it is your own concrete wouldn't be to difficult and would end up being even better than ground stakes.

No, it has no way to be anchored to the ground..... mine honestly didn't last long I would look around to try and get a better one!
