Are the "ground anchors" it comes with sufficient or does the set require extra stabilization?

I bought the extra set only because I wanted to make sure that there would be absolutely no chance of it tipping. It has been wonderful, especially through the high Oklahoma winds.

The ones that came with are good. But we got the extra ones as they were not that much and now it is very well anchored. This way we know for sure it will not tip.

I bought this a few years ago. The anchors it came with were sufficient back then. I feel that as my kids are getting bigger it needs a little more support. My oldest is 10, so he plays a little more rough than the younger ones.

You can anchor it to anything but I don't think the posts are suitable for anchoring in the ground. They are too short and hollow. I think in time they would settle and then lower your roof. Mixing the concrete for the footing was probably the easiest part of the whole thing. Don't know why you'd skip it.

No...everything comes included..and comes with support anchors and additional screws..i tossed them because i screwed them onto the stud. I pre-drilled the holes and then screwed in. It's solid!! 2 of my friends hung on it to make sure it held..so its safe to say int can hold 350 lbs. (mounted on the stud) hope that helps.

It comes with everything you need. The tie down stakes are the shorter ones but they seem to anchor it just fine.

The dome climber is heavy enough that you should not have to anchor it on level ground.We set it up on child safe rubber pellets and added 4 U shaped anchors.

Yes. The set has been great. The anchor works well especially for simulated pull-ups.

If you anchor it as instructed, it is very secure. You can use the anchors provided or bolt it down.

It is secured to ground by four ground anchors - one on each leg. It has been installed about three weeks ago and seems to be quite secure, I am pleased with the product

no anchoring is needed, I recall reading somewhere that the flexible flyer anchor kit doesn't work with this set.

This came with anchors that drive into the ground. We did not sink the legs and the anchors hold the swingset adequately unless our son who weighs over a hundred pounds gets swinging high. We have considered using longer rebar to anchor it but haven't done that yet. Also, we used a longer piece of lumber (actually, my husband glued two 4x6s together) for the top and added a glider and its great. Good luck!

I purchased this last summer. It comes with stakes and loops to put them through. I've had it set up on my lawn for the last several weeks (just using the stakes) and it hasn't budged, even when we had a brief hale storm. However, if you want to set it up on a deck, then yes you will need something to anchor it to the deck. Also, note it doesn't have a floor which makes sense when you think about it, but surprised me when I opened it.

The legs must be pounded into the ground a minimum amount of inches, that will anchor it securely.

It comes with anchors or you can purchase a 2x4, cut it into 10" to 12" pieces and insert them in the bottom of each post. We cemented the four legs into ground. It's very sturdy.

It could be because the anchors are a separate piece but it may move if it's windy or bumped

Yes, but ypu would want to anchor it so the wind would not blow it away - anchors are included.

Yes, there are metal sections that anchor the unit to the ground. They seem effective, but installation is tricky if ground is not level.

No, it is very lightweight and doesn't hold anything heavy enough to require the anchor.
