Does this screened shelter hold its shape without the guy ropes?

Yes, We have been very pleased with purchase. Some locations we found we needed a 12x12.We cover picnic tables at camp sites.

Yes. It is a very good addition to our camping trips. Up in about 2 minutes. WOW

There are no guy ropes. What you may be seeing is the frame that sets the shape. It is pegged down for wind and to hold the door panel down when opened. I replaced the package pegs with heavier ones from a sports store but that was inexpensive. Hope this helps.

I don't even know what the ropes are, so I will answer yes. I just put the thing up in 30 seconds with a few stakes and it has been perfect for the past 4 months. It has been up the whole time. Best canvas I've seen.

The guy lines are merely additional protection against the canopy being blown away or collapsed in heavy winds. It does not need them to hold its shape. You will just want to make sure you at least stake down the 4 corner loops. If you know it is going to be particularly windy, go ahead and stake down the guy lines as well.

We rarely use the ropes for support unless we're in windy conditions. It stays up just fine!

Hi! It does. It was great! It comes with a little mat for the front, the rain cover, stakes and rope attached to the tent which came in handy just recently when I used it by the beach and it was windy. We were able to use the ropes to tie around a tree for extra hold. There are plenty of stakes, but you will have to supply your own mallet and you may want to buy bigger and sturdier stakes, but I haven't. So far, the stakes have worked well for me. Hope that helps. =)

No, but it is definitely a cover saver, no stress folding and hanging on a bar

No, it has elastic sewn into the bottom edge to keep it tight. It also has D-rings along both sides to add straps or rope.

Seems like a pretty sturdy shelter. For wind I wound add some extra tie-downs and use screw in stakes. Having said that I am not sure any shelter will stand up to a lot of wind and snow.

The shelter is eay to put up. Be warned, the frame is not stable, if there is any wind the frame will bend!

No guy wires required... The screen house stakes to the ground on all 4 corners at the base of the poles and in the middle around the house on all 4 sides.What I do though is run small nylon rope off the corners at the bend to the peak run them out and stake it there with tent stakes.This is a pretty sturdy screen house with out guy wires but of course I like it staked down well.

It did fine in the wind. We had one day with strong winds that would make the tent bend a bit but it never pulled loose from the stakes in the ground. We didn't even used the sandbags.

It does come with tent stakes to make it more steady in case of wind or if you just prefer to tie it down.

No. The top is meshed-material. It is very sturdy and with a great zipper. You can remove (unzip) the entire mesh. I think even with a tarp over it, though, wind and rain will come in on any side since it's webbing material. The bottom portion is also zipped and is waterproof nylon/vinyl-type material. It cleans up very well. I take it apart (easily unzip) and scrub and spray the bottom outdoors. It's primarily used for a sleep-tent at night, indoors. Or when I need to leave the cat alone in the house. It has made life great for the whole house and the male cat.

It did not but I don't think it would be hard to anchor it in the grass - attach loops to the corners and use tent stakes?

They have a pretty deep corner pocket, so I suspect that it would hold form even without the poles. The poles just add extra security.

It has u shaped anchors that can go into the grass, kinda like tent pegs would. We have used it without them though and it stays up just fine, as long as it's not extremely windy.

I have not had a problem with mine and I've had it for several years. The shelter is made pretty well and is of the same quality as many camping tents. Set up and take down is a snap.

Sure it will stand fine without stakes. We have used the tent for basement 'camping'. Of course if used outside stakes should be used, which are easy to press in.

Metal (definitely not fiberglass) and I highly recommend this shelter! Love it

It has nylon ropes built into each point, which we liked better than a previous shade sail that had heavy metal eyes and turn bolts for attachment. I have 2 Coolaroo Shade Sails up this year and they have held up to some pretty strong winds without any problems.
