Can you set this tent up on hard top (a paved driveway)? or does it have to be set upon grass?

We set it up on our drive way, then used tent stakes and rope out in the grass. You could tie rope to sand bags, if you are unable to use tent stakes.

We set ours up in a parking lot. We use half cinder blocks around each pole to help with wind gusts. This has been a great tent which we have used for three events so far. Less expensive than renting one once.

Preferably on grass. Without having to buy additional equipment like wight downs and such. Not quite as nice or sturdy as it looks in the image.

I set mine up on the driveway. You can use Hilti anchors or you can put the legs in 5 gallon bucket, then fill the buckets full of gravel.

I have set this up on my driveway for many parties. I use 55 gallon drums filled with water at the corners to hold it down if grass is not near!

My tent is set up on a wooden deck. You can set it up on a driveway with proper screws for blacktop or cement etc.

Yes I did set it up upon a driveway, just use some kind of weight to hold it down,

I wouldn't recommend this tent in the snow or the wind. This Tent NEEDS to be staked down to stay up (not sure it would hold the weight of snow or gusts of wind. But is has a nice water proof base that comes up about a foot on the edges, so rain is ok.

The item can be used in a variety of location. Please be mindful of the soil, you may need additional anchors for the sand. Also, keep in mind the tent is not wind rated and we do not warranty weather related damages.

You can, but you won't be able to secure it to the ground. It is huge...way wider than the average driveway.

I set it up on grass with a 2 inch sand top layer; Its been up almost a year and its great for the limited investment!

We placed ours right on grass, but it is pushed up against the side of our house.

Absolutely you will be able to set it up. It is very easy very light. Take steps in the right order and it almost sets itself up. Do not stake down the tent until it is totally set up then it is very easy

Yes, this canopy can be set up on a concrete foundation. I have used them for many events on asphalt and concrete. Generally this tent comes with plastic feet that will protect the surface. One thing i would recommend is to use tie-downs and some sort of weight if the canopy will be set up in a location that has any sort of wind. We get large water barrels from our local event rental place.

I would NOT place this directly on any surface outside. But my daughter loves to take it outside. So we allow it on the GRASS only ... with something underneath to protect the plastic from rocks or sticks. I would suggest large towels or a plastic tarp to preserve the plastic coating.

I would definitely recommend a level surface, but it doesn't have to be perfect. Technically you could set this thing up on a flat section of grass.

No poles along bottom. We set up on our driveway as well, it spans the width of driveway and we anchor it into lawn on either side, kind of like you would do with a tent. I would not see so much of a problem on a small slope, depends on what degree of slope you have.

I haven't put mine up on asphalt, but I can't see it being any harder than on grass, which it to say super easy as long as you have 4 people. Two people can do it, but it is challenging, and the one time I did it solo I worried about bending it funny (It works best when you have a person holding each of the legs.) You will definitely want to put weights on the corners (stakes being hard on asphalt) because it doesn't take much wind to tumble the whole canopy. If it was me, I would probably use cinder blocks tied to each leg with cord. Having at least 1 tall person helps with putting the walls up because they attach pretty high. I hope this helps!

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.

Yes you can. I would avoid setting it up on wood flours as the tent poles might scratch the floor. Staking the tent down outside helps it stand up to the wind.

I don't see any reason not to set it on concrete except the depth of the plant roots you will be planting. If the are no longer than the shallowest portion (about 8-10 inches) you should be just fine. Maybe even better as I find some of our weeds in SE Tx, even find a way through black plastic!

The bottom of it sticks in the ground. If you push it down you could add tent states if you want but I do not think you need it.

I wouldn't leave it set up outside all the time. It's not super thick super hard vinyl, but it's sturdy enough that I recommend it. We have ours up inside all the time in the play room and have to add air to it every now and then. But if you wanted to occasionally use it outside on the grass? it would probably be okay.
