those who used this for the playa, did you find you were able to stake it to the ground well

Yes, but it really depends on the type of stake and the firmness of the ground. I used 6 inch spikes, 3 in each leg. The surface it is presently setting on is a soft soil glassy area so I tied sender blocks to each post as well. It has been quite stable in winds up to 30 miles an area, I'm sure it could easily handle more.

I ended up purchasing 2, 20 foot 2x8 and using lag bolts screwed the brace of the legs to that. Then I purchased 8, 4 foot pieces of 1/2 inch cement rebar and welded a washer in the top of each 4 foot length, then I drilled a 9/16 hole 5 feet apart on the 2x8 and pounded the rebar through the holes all the way into the ground.

Yes, on each foot there is four holes to be used for staking. I used 6" nails I bought at the hardware store and my car port has not moved an inch, even with all the bad storms we have been having. Just a hint, zip the door up if you know it is going to be windy. That thing will take off like kite with the door open. Hope that helps! Oh and buy the extra bungie cords to strap the tarp to your poles. They are needed.

Yes. Works fine. Staked 3 so far. Just keep punching it until you get the desired movement. No hammering required.

The tenants that had rented a house that I own had used small rocks in the yard as a decorative garden. In time the rocks became part of the soil. I did not have any problems using the tiller. I did have better tilling when I pulled the tiller toward me for hard clay.

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.

You don't need to stake it to the ground, this thing is HEAVY, it stays where you put it.

My opinion - I doubt it very much as it is basically 'a tent' . There is no weight at the bottom to hold it onto a surface, that is why it is staked. If and I mean if there is NO wind it might stay put for a time but once the wind starts I think it would take flight. Hope this helps.

I needed to stake it down to start with but then have been able to remove the stakes after it has been there a while (I needed the stakes to put down more hose!!) I used the U shape stake for putting down landscaping fabric - but in my very loose garden soil longer stake would have been easier but they did the job with a little frustration - but the hose is working GREAT so far, I put them 12 inches appear to get full coverage for my raised garden beds.

Yes, you could stake them in the ground, if it were soft. The flags are kind of small and I could see the plastic sticks breaking or bending easily if the ground was very hard.

yes, I loosened the dirt up first then spread seed and fertilizer and finally rolled the Curlex and staked it.

Yes, it comes with stakes and has rings that they fit through to hold it down on the ground. We used it outside this summer with a tarp underneath it and instead of bringing it in and out we bought a small tarp to put on top of it when not in use and it held up very well.

We used the spikes it comes with, but it did blow over once so we added 2 U Bolts pounded into the ground on each side to secure additionally.

I actually found it worked less effectively on the beach and better in the yard by the community pool at my condo. As I recall, I was able to just use my Hand and body weight to push the stake into the ground- no extra force required.

I had no issues. I did buy extra stakes and used two to tie down the 2 ropes in front of the tent on the beach. I was VERY happy with the tent.
209360
yes but you need to tie it down with rope and get better stakes to keep it from blowing away

I used a 1x1 stake into the ground, painted it black and used zip tires to secure the skeleton to it. You could also use a piece of steel.

yes.i do it all the time.if you stake one corner down before you start to set it up,it make it easier.

Yes, If you stake it! We don't use it now; My 9 year old daughter can kick it with all her might and it has been ok. But maybe next year we might need to stake it.
