Are the stakes for the torches sturdy enough to pound in with happier. Are the stakes separate from the metal poles and inserted into them?

The poles come in 3 sections, the first one is threaded and screws into the bottom of the torch the next two just slip together. The poles have a pointed end and are real easy to either push in the ground or sturdy enough to use a hammer. I had no problem just pushing them into the grass.

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

I mounted my torches on my deck but I will say the three poles pieces aren't the sturdiest but they are fine to support the torches. I wouldn't recommend using a hammer I would use a rubber mallet to pound them and suggest pouring some water on the ground to soften it up first if it's hard other than that the torches are excellent I love them and I would recommend them.

Stakes are the cheap, heavy candy-canes. Definitely recommend buying new ones, if you're setting up in rocky areas I'd be surprised if the included stakes survived even one trip.

The poles come in sections and screw together. You can adjust the height by leaving a section out. I had problems with my poles as the screw ends (inserts) weren't machined very well making it time consuming to put them together. What should have taken only minutes to install took about an hour to assemble two torches. Some of the threads were so tight I can't even unscrew some sections. Another issue was getting the fuel caps off. Threads were dirty from machine work. Tried to get the greasy grim off with acetone, however it started to remove the finish, so use a lighter solvent if you have this issue. Other then that the lamps are nice

The poles are inserted thru the sleeves on top of the tent in a big X. They each make a big arch and won't break!

They can definitely be frail, we bent several of them using the rock method when we couldn't find our mallet. I would use a mallet or your shoe to push them in. Better yet, go get the 12 in ABS plastic ones, we purchased those after these and they are beasts. They can be hard to get out of the ground so definitely use a stake puller (can be purchased for only a few dollars online or at a regular store) but that is a good thing, means it wont pull up and have your tent fly away in windy conditions! These have been retired to our backup pile for emergency uses only.

Yes. It comes with 2 stakes. One is for a hanging lantern and one screws into the bottom for use as a straight up light. Both good quality.

The tent comes with its own metal tent stakes. I did purchase some large nails to push between the spaces on the deck to attach the tent cords to, since we set it up on a deck and not on the ground. You will need a hammer or mallet to drive the stakes into the ground. You should not need to purchase the "tent kit" as this tent is quite easy to put up.

Durable yes but I have a couple that I have broken the bottom plastic stake on. I love the way they light up at night.

The windmill comes with metal stakes . Each corner had a spot for it, you hammer it into the ground. We have not had any issues with ours. We live in a windy area abd the windmill works great! No fall overs.

It does come with stakes. Depending on what kind of sand/ground u are putting them into is how well it stays put. We were at a lake and didn't have an issue with it staying in place.

The only way to answer that would be to overload the supports. I will say, the supports do adequately hold the lights provided, and would support some added pounds, if needed. But, the poles made to hold lights...

yes, BUT the Coleman steel stakes are highly recommended. Accompanied with a hammer they'll bust through rocks in the soil.

Yes, aluminum stakes about 5-6" long are included. They are threaded and screw onto the posts, which in turn screw into the body of the light.

it isn't hard at all. you just slide the pole through and brace with the outer poles. then stake it. to take it down you just take the outer poles out and the inserted pole acts as a weight if you want it to. be careful when folding the tent to put it away. don't force it.

Yes they come with stakes and the listed 15.6" height is the height above ground. The included stakes are made of metal and are 7"+ long. These are nice lights, all metal construction with a glass globe.

There are stakes that connect the pieces and each go into the ground so it's pretty stable.

The poles themselves are metal. The base is a heavy duty plastic that can be filled with sand or water.
