Can this shelter be used on other surfaces besides the sand? I'm looking for something to use on concrete/hard surfaces.

It's not padded on the bottom so just remeber you're sitting on concrete and you will need to put something down and anchor it down. When you take it to the beach you use the stakes and you fill the bags on the exterior with sand, so just make sure you anchor it with something heavy. Watch out for wind! It's made well though - great for the price. We were very happy with this purchase but I haven't used it on a hard surface.

I think it could be set up in sand. The posts have small "feet" on the bottom and there are stakes to secure the tent.

Yes, this can be used outdoors. I add sand bags to each side for more support.

yes, it can stand on concrete, but depending on weather (i.e. wind) and how long you will have it up, you may want to have sandbags or something of the like to keep it weighted down.

We only used it on grass and sand. I think the fabric might not stand up to a child moving around if it were on concrete...

The tent is not fixed to the ground. You will need to purchase or make tent weights. I made mine out of PVC pipes and sand and tied them vertically to each post. Last week I used my tent for vending a flea market and it rained hard all day. It did not keep the rain completely out. Items kept along the sides were most exposed and wet. But in general, the tent provided decent coverage and shelter considering the severity of the weather.

I don't think you can anchor it to the ground in its current form. You could rig something up with real tent stakes and some cloth wraps. Two of the four sides on the top are mesh and the other two are the colored tent material. It doesn't come with a tent "cover" for the mesh sides but again, you could rig something up to block out the mesh. I hope that helps!

I really don't know.. We haven't used ours yet at the beach. I guess it could be used on a concrete surface if you put a blanket for comfort in there..

I wish I could help you, but we only used it on snow. But I would think it would work on hard packed sand.

Yes, first clean the area then use a putty knife and try to work it into the pin holes. Then cover the area with a thin coat and let it dry. It should hold up to sun and rain with no problems. It is not made for a walking surface. Good luck.

I didn't put mine in concrete. I think there were extra pieces that may be used for that, but I am not sure. Sorry!

Yes, but one thing to consider is this is NOT a free standing tent. This means the tent must be secured by driving stakes into the ground. On a Sandy beach I can imagine this being a big problem.

No this is not meant to be for outside. You would need a hard covered shelter. Amazon does carry these also. This would not stand up to any continual elements (snow/rain/sleet) on a daily-long term basis.

I would think you could use it. I used stakes to secure mine to the ground so as long as you can secure it can be anywhere.

No Karen, we did not use it on the sand. However, like anything else on wheels it would be ok on wet sand but I think it would be difficult on dry, loose sand. We did love ours, but we only used it on pavement and grass. It is strudy. If your dog is heavy, as ours was it could be hard. Think of a wheelchair on the sand. I hope that is helpful.

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.

It can be placed on hard pavement. However, to prevent any wind related movement or damage, I highly recommend using weights on each leg. Even when possible to use in ground stakes I use leg weights.
