Do the poles that go across the bottom have to be used? I want to use this as a cover for a cubicle, but those bars would get in the way.

They are two straps that keep the tent in shape instead of flat. If you could attach the corners of the tent to the cubicle, I guess you wouldn't need the strap to create the tension.

Yes, those bars are in tension holding the poles that form the dome together at the bottom. Without those the tent will be flat.

Yes. The bottom (or flat surface) has holes to affix to screws, but they need not be used.

No, you don't have to use the walls (I only used 2 walls. They come in 4 separate pieces). We anchored the legs into the ground to prevent it from lifting, and if your concerned about wind, you should probably too. This has proven to be a pretty sturdy tent. I am happy with it

I'm not seeing any type of loops at the corners of the tent like you would typically see on a normal tent which you would put stakes through. Instead they're closed tabs where the tent poles terminate into. So it would maybe be an issue.

The crossbars simply clamp down where you put them- there is no designated spot to place them, which is important for me because I have a rooftop cargo box that requires the bars to be slid to where its brackets are. I believe the safety rules are to put the bars as far towards the back as they can go to do the job. The bars are only put in place when you need to carry something up top. Otherwise, you take them off and store them. They have screw-down clamps on each end of the bar, and a "Key" which you use to lock the screw-down handle in place, but the key itself does not release the bar to re-position it.

I made a YouTube video here of the net (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM0OHq1ipM8) to give you an idea. The net can always be placed lower on the poles if needed, even if the poles are not adjustable.

Arthur, I'm very sorry. I threw away the end caps. My home is brand new and I did not want to drill holes to mount the caps. You will need end caps if you plan to use this bar for exercise. The rubber ends on the bar grip the doorway securely without shifting or slipping. I load up the rack with clothes and it works like charm.

I use bungee cords to secure pole to bleachers and use at my sons football games all the time. If you secure it well, even in strong winds, no problem. Works very well and set up/break down is fast. Sit in the back so you don't block any views.

Yes. The material is very waterproof. It is longer than the poles are high, so you can block the bottom with sandbags, rocks... One word of advice though is it does not breath. So if you block it off... and it is raining, it is really humid or you set it up on wet ground... your are going to have a lot of condensation on the interior walls and possibly the upper canopy based on the humidity or people breathing in it...

These bars need to be screwed to the wall. They can be "chained" together, though. Not sure if that answers your question, as it appears to be truncated.

It's just like a shirt hanger- slips right over the pole. You should be fine unless the pole is extra thick.

The bar is made of aluminum, so it should be ok (i.e. rust resistant). But it could certainly be blown around, etc. Frankly, if you're looking to keep it outside permanently, you might want to look into getting something more heavy duty if it doesn't need to be assembled/disassembled regularly.

I just tried to see if the large top could be used on the bottom. No! It can only be used as the cover of the Unit.

It depends on the size of the base. You don't want it hanging over on the sides.

I've always (for the last 26 years anyways) used sheets with poles, so I have an abundance of poles to use. I would definitely recommend using the poles in the pockets. If you don't have any, cut some small, maybe 1", PVC pipe about the length of the pocket. You'll be happy with the result.
