how many stakes are needed/included?

Ours came with 14 stakes. However, I always take extras and they came in handy when we camped by a rivermouth. There was a very strong wind coming across the lake and the fiberglass tent poles are so flexible that the side of the tent facing the wind was pushed down half way to the ground, even fully staked. So I had to tie ropes about midway up the poles and stake those down to keep the tent upright. For $100, though, it's a decent 6-person (really, 4 comfortably if you want to have things in it with you) tent. If you think there may be windy conditions, I would pack extra stakes and rope or guy lines. You get what you pay for... Ours came with 14 stakes.

Number of stakes needed will depend entirely on wind. It's a large and tall tent, so it definitely catches air. I got caught in a strong wind storm a couple months back, and no amount of stakes would have kept it anchored. I ended up tying it to a tree, and the wind still almost flattened it.

Yes it comes with the stakes,but I found it works better if you dig about a five inch hole then cover the stakes with sand . If the wind is strong.

Yes, stakes are included. It looks as though you could cut it with a hacksaw or similar, but I just ran mine to the edge of a section (where my bed meets my neighbors (no fence there), and let the edge of the section determine the end point. Digging a line deep enough to sink it was the most challenging part -- a good edging tool helped.

Hi. It comes with stakes and you need to use them. You also need the guide lines. This tent does not stay up without it so that means you need good soil too. I tried using this tent on the beach and ended up with it laying on top of me. Hope this helps.

I didn't purchase any additional stakes. The ones that came with it worked fine for us.

It comes with it's own stakes, but I would recommend purchasing sturdier stakes, as the included are somewhat thin. Also, a mallet would be a handy tool to purchase, which is not included with the tent.

yes, all four corners plus the middle of each side and tie downs. 8 stakes total.

It comes with two 3 piece stakes. Mine stayed up okay, took two people though.

I have not noticed the stakes being flimsy. I don't think you will need to replace them. If so it's probably about 10 or so stakes.

They come with stakes. I love them just snap together and your ready to put them in.

I haven't used it for a while, but I don't recall if it has stakes. I do remember that it is very sturdy and well balanced.

Dear Ms Ratkowski: Thank you for your email. Please note the stakes included with item # 17502, "Garden Border Set" attach to the bottom of the border. If the packaging contains Styrofoam there may be a hidden compartment or two pieces of Styrofoam taped together containing the stakes. The border is used for gardens, walkways or to create a raised flower bed. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us again. Thank you for contacting Collections Etc. on Amazon.

Stakes are included. I mostly made complete closed circuits for beds but you could leave it as a square end or cut with a saw or shears and then file smooth and even touch up paint the bright edge if necessary. I suppose you could also fold an end and hammer it flat with non-marring tools.

I believe you can get them from the source of your purchase. Best thing to remember when securing a pole/stake that long, is to grasp it down low at the base where you are inserting in the ground. If you hit something solid it will keep you from bending the pole/stake. My dealings with the source I purchased the product has always been very positive and they work with you. I sure they could assist you with getting additional stakes for purchase. Hope all goes well.

I bought 18 20" rebar stakes.. and 8 ratchet straps. But the screw in stakes would be best.

16 total, including the two for the awning. However, the stakes that come with the tent are very beefy - I see no need to replace them.

Yes it even comes with stakes. I prefer to use different stakes because the stakes that come with it are cheap and bend. Spend about $15 dollars and get yourself some real aftermarket ones.
