If you use a few simple 4x4 pieces of hardwood, you can use a rubber mallet to hammer the stainless steel anchor stakes into the wood, and then affix the support poles into the anchor stakes. This will keep the product upright on hard (non-pourous) surfaces. Go to the website www.thewallup.com to see different setups with the video that is shown.

No. It has to be anchored. Its difficult to set up. I bought 3 of them and ended up giving 2 of them to Goodwill.

I used it inside, but I would not recommend on wood floors. There are not any stakes, just pins that hold the panels together.

I have not used it outside. Given the low price and free shipping, I'd give it a shot. You'd have to weight the legs or lay it down when not in use if you have wind. You MIGHT think about some silicone to squirt around the connections and beneath bolts as you tighten and then over them once it's done to prevent rain and splashes from getting in and rusting it right away. Also, it's light enough that you could pick it up and move it inside when not in use. Another thing, you could leave out the middle section and make it shorter for kids so they don't pull on a towel and pull it over. None of these things tested, just mentioning them as ideas.

Yes, you can use it indoors and no it doesn't need to be anchored in any way. It stands up on its own and moves very little as we use it in our garage.

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 you could use it indoor as the poles hold it up and it would not need to be staked.

It has a stake that goes into the ground. I have never left it up for a long period of time so I can't say of it would stay up in the wind

no its too small and the range is not great..... must have zero wind... better for indoor practice.... very stable

It comes with stakes that worked fine for me, although I purchased extra on the advice of others. You will need something to drive the stakes in the ground. Also a tarp for the ground is helpful. Easier to clean a tarp than the bottom of the tent.

Since it is recommended to stake the building when it is at ground level, it would seem even more important to stake it if it sits on a roof. I couldn't address this issue based on personalexperience, but the fact that you would have to deal with additional wind at that height wouldworry me.

Haven't tried outside... I imagine it would work fine if there wasn't much wind. Works great though....

It will stand up fine on a concrete surface and is very stable. It has been my experience that staking is mainly for windy conditions. Again, from past experience, if it is not staked, medium to high wind can cause it to lift, roll, flip and damage the frame. I would not leave it up unstaked in wind. I do leave mine up all the time; however, it is nestled and secured between 4 posts at the corners. I hope this helps and best of luck!

I would not bother setting it up if the winds are high for it will pull it up from the ground. The strongest winds I personally tested mine in was about 15-20 mph. I wouldn't really recommend it though.

Ours is in the garage. I believe that if it has stuff in it (of course the heavier things toward the bottom) that it would stand up to a good bit of wind. I don't think I would stand it out in the middle of the yard but would put it against a wall or side of the house, garage, etc. Yes. It's very sturdy but high profile.

I have it in my garage it moves a tiny bit once in a while and hasn't been an issue that I thought would need to be sand bagged. It comes with strips of fabric attached to the corners so you can stake it to the ground if outside. Or maybe tie it to sand bags. If it were outside I would think it should be staked down. I will also use a tarp under it when we use it outside so the ground doesn't get it dirty or puncture. If on a tarp it would move around more. I hope this helps. If you have more questions please ask. We love it so far. I defiantly recommend it.

This house is heavy enough I don't think wind would be a problem unless the wind is really really strong. I guess u could put a couple of bricks under the "sink" or rig up a tie down like for a tent if u were really concerned

The spikes work only on open ground, not a floor or wall. My answer: not to my knowledge, without using one's imagination. I have the same problem because my Powerwind is on a patio deck. lI hold it down with one had if necessary.
