I would like the same answer. These pieces are not cheap and I bought 3 panels and clipped them together, but I don't want to have to invest a lot more money to buy their posts.

We used our own posts to attach the pieces. We did not use the clips. My husband screwed the pieces together. Hope this helps! :o}

I buried two 4x4 posts in the ground and attached the panel between the posts. Just make sure the spacing between the posts is slightly wider than the width of the panel and always use stainless steel screws on cedar wood.

We used clips to hold the canopy up, but it wasnt failproof. I ended up cutting the canopy off completely even though now i wont be able to use it outside now.

you can buy extra sets of panels, they all interlock with each other. I bought 3 sets, I used them outside all together. Great products, works well.

The connecting rods that hold the panels together extend down into the ground a few inches. This has been secure enough to hold our two dogs (Boston Terrier & Scotty), although they don't really try to escape. If you have big dogs that might push extremely hard, you may want to supplement with some other stakes.

Yes, stakes are included. It looks as though you could cut it with a hacksaw or similar, but I just ran mine to the edge of a section (where my bed meets my neighbors (no fence there), and let the edge of the section determine the end point. Digging a line deep enough to sink it was the most challenging part -- a good edging tool helped.

The tent comes with everything you need regarding good metal stakes. You will need a mallet or hammer to put the stakes in the ground and I just pull them out of the ground with my hands and not a stake puller. I did purchase the heavy duty stakes here is the link to the item I bought from Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/SE-Tent-Green-Stopper-10PK/dp/B001AV3STS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1408137449&sr;=8-2&keywords;=tent+stakes Item - SE Tent Peg with Green Stopper (10PK). Hope this helps!

I just pulled them out by hand. No problem. There's a nice groove at the top. You could probably use one of the other tent stakes to pull a stuck one out by wedding into that groove perpendicularly.

It comes with the stakes; however, I didn't need them since I was putting it right next to a sidewalk. I left the ends square but a rounded edge would look good too.

There are tabs on the bottom of each leg that can have a stake driven through them. I buried 4x4 posts in the ground (lengthwise, cut to length and flush with the ground) and screwed the legs to it via the tab holes using deck screws.

I really cannot answer because I no longer have the installation instructions. The installation we did was not on a deck and involved the digging/pounding of very large metal "stakes" that each of the four posts are placed on.

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

I am using the torches on my deck, so I don't know about the ground stakes.

The stakes are metal and are sturdy enough to shove into the ground. If the ground is very hard you may have to use something to get it started like a large nail or a round screwdriver. They are somewhat delicate depending on the terrain.

It depends on the type of ground your setting up on, I would advise always bringing a hammer/mallet of some type. If you can't put the stakes in the ground you won't have a tent, this is not a setup in your living room for fun type of tent.

The panels are not really stiff. They are flexible enough to bend. I didn't have clips either. The panels just rested on top of wooden frames. I did cut them down in size a bit because the panels were too big to fit into the frames. Make sure there is some overlap on the edges of the frames and that they are supported on all 4 sides. It worked fine for me. They looked really awesome.

You'll need to accordion fold them up. It works. We folded up several folds and put the clip in the middle of the shade. Then we pulled the sides down to meet in the center and clipped the two sides together. Think of an upside down fan. It looks pretty but hard to explain. Doing this little maneuver, let's some light in while maintaining privacy. Reduces the amount of up and down of the shade.

You have to use the stakes. this is not a free standing tent with fiberglass poles.
