Do the stakes hold well in sandy soil?

I installed these just before the ground froze for winter. They took a little pressure to push in and seemed to back out slightly over the winter with the freeze/thaw cycle. To be honest, I'm nervous about removing my sand bags now that it's spring and the soil is loose. I'm not sure I trust them to hold. I bought two sets and have a 15' trampoline - two on every other leg.

If you had all the sandbags full and maybe use the stakes as well it would be ok... We used this on Myrtle Beach with just the sandbags and sand around the bottom floor without any problems. We didn't use the stakes on the beach - it has a bottom that holds your stuff also that helps to hold it down..

It comes with stakes only for securing in dirt. It would be hard to secure it on a paver patio.

Yes! The set comes with metal stakes. Each leg has a small hole at the end specifically for this purpose. It is fairly sturdy without stakes but it's easy to knock over if you hang a heavy lantern on it. I stake it most of the time, but I'm lazy by nature and it hasn't ever fallen over when I skipped the stakes.

They come with stakes, but we didn't use them. I would advise using them if it is windy. It did just fine and no issues not using them.

It does not have stakes - there is no "bottom". I actually built up a little hill of dirt and place rocks of varying size on the sides of the mounds. I flattened off the top and set the well up on it. It sits rather close to the house so it does not really "catch" too much wind - it hasn't moved an inch!

It is not free standing. My only concern would be keeping the stakes down in sand.

Hmmmm. Sadly never used these at the beach yet despite it being a staple of my party circuit. The stake is not that long but since the pole is light I would imagine it would still work. I could see gusty winds creating an issue though.

It did well. It comes with sand bags and they were easy to use to anchor it down along with the stakes!

I am using the torches on my deck, so I don't know about the ground stakes.

Mine is slightly sheltered however I only staked down the 6 posts by driving large tent stakes. Stayed in place for three months and a few storms.

No stakes, just sit on flat ground. Quality of these peoples products is very good. I bought one then turned around and bought a second one. Heavy enough with or without dirt not going anywhere

Yes they stay on the ground because there are tie down stakes that are included with the set

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.

Yes, stakes are provided. You can easily push them into the ground which prevents it from blowing over.

Yes, if you use the stakes that come with it. I live in the high desert and have no problem as long as I secure it.

we take ours up every year, mostly because we till the soil before winter. The only problem with leaving it down too long is the stakes rust and dissolve away, the material seems to hold up OK.
