does this net work on cement or does it need to be staked down in the ground

It will if put something on back or the balls will roll out the back so no you do not have to. I don't use them because we have to move it around a lot my daugher is 9 so she hits off the tee and soft toss and will roll out the back when I put on the driveway

I have only used it on the grass, but I do stake it down so it will not move. On the cement I believe it would slide a little each time a ball went into it. It does have some weight too it, but if you put some kind of weight (maybe like a bucket with stuff in it) directly on the net on the backside that lays on the ground it would probably be fine. All in all I have had this net for about 2 years now, it was worth the money - I think I paid about $35. It has like a tent pole frame and I have broken a pole on it twice, I just sawed it off and stuffed back in the holder - has worked great both times I have only used it on the grass, but I do stake it down so it will not move.

We have this net in backyard and use it only for lacrosse work. It is not staked down right now so I had my son use his lacrosse ball against it and it did not move at all on the grass. In a basement, if it is a bare floor surface I think you would definitely have to place it on a non-skid mat of some sort and weight down the support sides with something. On carpet, it might stay in position better without weighting it.

We use it for baseball, but it is a very strong sturdy net. It does come with stakes for outside use.

We use it in the driveway quite often. Just get a bag of sand from your local hardware store and place on the back of the net. It holds it down just fine.

Yes you sink the pole around 12-14" in ground. Oddly the lower half you fill with. Cement for weight. Pretty easy install but two man job. 4 hrs

I would agree with Tina L. On the grass the legs tend to settle into the ground, do not slide and I would consider it safe, but unless there is a way to anchor it to the cement, I would not recommend it.

Not likely to work on the beach. It needs a hard ground to plug in the pegs that hold up the net. I am not sure whether you will find the hard ground on the beach, because of texture of the quick sand.

It has to be secured at the bottom. It comes with stakes for use on the ground. You would have to be extremely inventive to figure out a way to use it on a driveway.

Not sure I understand your question but - One side of the net attaches to a pole that goes into the ground, the other side of the net attaches to the outside of the trampoline (the safety bars). You play on the ground, in the space between the tramp and the pole.

There are 3 plastic stakes per net, that are tied on with elastic cord. You can remove them by undoing the cord. Also included were a separate set of metal stakes, which are fully removable. The goals are very light and I use the tied stakes to hold down the net on hard surfaces by just placing a brick (or any other heavy object) on them.

The pole comes with a tube that should be installed in the ground in cement. The kit comes with instructions very easy to install.

Yes you set the anchor in the ground, cement and bolt your goal and pole to it. When you move you un-bolt it and just buy another anchor system because it stays in the ground.

The net we purchased worked great. I already had preformed holes in my concrete so the poles just fit right into the existing holes. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes, you definetly will need to anchor it into the ground. We attached 2x4's to the bottom and cemented it into the ground. It only took a few minutes.

It does bring stakes. You can put them when it's on the ground, but not when it's on concrete. What I've done is got a small weight and attach to two of the legs with bungie cords and it works fine.

I have it in my garage it moves a tiny bit once in a while and hasn't been an issue that I thought would need to be sand bagged. It comes with strips of fabric attached to the corners so you can stake it to the ground if outside. Or maybe tie it to sand bags. If it were outside I would think it should be staked down. I will also use a tarp under it when we use it outside so the ground doesn't get it dirty or puncture. If on a tarp it would move around more. I hope this helps. If you have more questions please ask. We love it so far. I defiantly recommend it.

Do you mean to hook into the ground? You can either set it up on concrete (little feet) or into the ground (pegs.) In either case you probably need weights. I used a gallon of water attached to each leg.
