Can it free stand without having an anchor tied to the top and slung over a tree branch? anchoring the bottom is not an issue.

I second the first answer. It isn't made too well, I am afraid. But if you need it for one season, the price wouldn't hamper one, I'd think. I had a different, sturdier model six years ago (unfortunately the mice got into the storage package last year and chewed up the material) but couldn't locate that brand anywhere anymore.

Zooey, but it cannot free stand. It has to be tied to a branch or some other rigid beam.

It's a standing base. The way it's designed wouldn't allow a hanging position.

Not at all. If it is going in a tight spot you can always build it in an open area and the move it then anchor it.

Dont things so. You need a tree located to certain distance or a hook, or something to hold the system

Yes, you can hang it from a tree outside however, you should probably not leave it exposed to the elements.

You can place it free standing. I did not need to anchor it, it was tight enough to stand on its own. However I must tell you that it warps a bit in a very warm bathroom

WE did not have to anchor it since after we put all our garden tools and equipment, it stabilized. Plus once put together it is really heavy unless you are expecting a tornado that even a truck can be toppled over.

I use mine free standing. That way it is portable. If you choose to secure it a bench would work fine.

Yes, it can be anchored. I also placed rocks around the base. I'm in Prescott Valley, AZ at 5200 feet and it's been withstanding the mountain winds, so far.

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!

No it does not have to be anchored. It is quite sturdy. The frame holds it in place. And you can move it around the yard as necessary

It could hang from a tree just fine. I have it hanging from a hook on our gazebo. It does need to be level, though.

I hung mine on a tree branch. Guess you could hang it on a patio with some type of hanger.

I don't think it would stand well without being secured. I used a hammer and the stakes come with the tents. There would not be enough tension to secure the pole. Hope this helps. I really like the tent. It worked well for me.

The instructions say it can be used standing up but don't provide an anchor. When lying down it gets very hot under it and using iŧ standing up provides some air flow.

Not really. It is not telescopic like the vertical pole...this is probably because if it expanded horizontally it could be put off balance and perhaps fall over if not used anchored. If you anchor securely you might be able to rig your own form of extension.

No , there is no way to anchor it in the ground , unless you make an special adaptation wit a sewing maching (like the tents for camping have).
