is there any way to stake it down???

There isnt any additional flaps for staking down - however the padded bottom adds a little weight to it. We havent had trouble with it blowing away, yet. I usually keep our beach/pool bag in there too for extra weight.

No there was no way to anchor it. We were very disappointed with this product so it was returned. Also the bottom was much thinner than was advertised and did not give much sun protection.

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.

Yes, it is fairly quick to take this down, but much faster going up. Set up is just giving it a quick hard shake and it will pop open, insert the cross bars for the supports. Taking it down remove the support bars, line up the edges and give it a twist to get it back into it's circular shape to put it back in the storage bag. Make sure you stake it down well if you have strong winds though.

You need to at least put some rocks on the legs or something. A 308 will tip it over if it's not staked or weighted down.

I did not stake mine I placed mulch on top of the hose . only time I would think you would need stakes is a sharp angle. The hose is quite flexible, once it's layed out in sun to warm

We nailed it to a board and then put it in the ground and covered it with dirt to hold it in place, there should be holes on the bottom of the pole to latch it to something, this worked really well and keeps it from falling over.

You could stake it but is easier to use bricks which works beautifully. Do not use water or sand. Re water it always leaks. Re sand once in cannot remove and makes it very heavy and hard to store. Bricks are the way to go and they are dirt cheap. In humid climate screen fabric only lasts about 2 seasons.

it is a plastic stake, make you a starter hole before you put it in the ground and you will have no trouble

There are holes in the base. They can be used to stake the tent down on grass, but you could screw it to a deck. I have two sets of weights that I use (they wrap around the legs of the tent), and they work great.

Yes. I have never staked it to the ground. It pops up and stays in perfect form. If it's windy as long as there is something inside it won't blow away.

No there is no metal stake. It is made to balance on the base. It has a flat area on the bottom.

You can stake it to the ground but I would purchase stakes from a hardware store. The ones that come with it aren't great in big wind.

Right now I'm contemplating that very thing... and a small shovel is my best guess other than picking it up and shaking it out. If I had it to do over I'd get something else on a stand with a hand crank to tumble it. Dave

I used the stake. If I remember, it was separate and I had to attach it. If this is the same device I remember, I believe it did have holes in the back and a template as a guide to mount it. But, I did not use it that way.

It needs stakes...I think it could be easily knocked over if not held down somehow.

No...but you could get those tarp clamps at home depot, clamp it then stake it

Easily! It's basically 2 posts and 4 stake points. It'll be up and ready in about 10 minutes! Check out this video if you haven't already: http://youtu.be/vNF00424ZYI
