Does this need to be placed and set up on grass? I noticed that it comes with stakes and hoping I can set this product up on concrete

Any water slide like this needs to be set up on grass, for safety. This way if a child falls or slides down fast they will not be hurt.

We found that it was necessary to pound the stakes into the ground to keep it "grounded" with all the air going into it continually and kids jumping, etc. We didn't try to put it on cement. However, the ones you rent do fine on cement so I'm hoping it will work. Sorry not to be more specific.

I have not had to stake it in the ground. The water weighs it down pretty well. It would be best to place this on grass because the kids do hit the ground as they come off of the slide so the grass is a softer landing. Concrete may hurt them. And the lagoon may get holes in it from rubbing on the concrete. So, I would only suggest grass.

It can be set up on concrete but your are risking ripping it if it is played on roughly. I have had a couple of tips in my but they were easily repaired with nylon fishing line.

My daughter set it up on a hard gravel driveway without spikes and it seemed to work fine. The water in the pool seems to hold it in place. She did put it down on a tarp to protect the Inflatable Water Park from abrasion. Just need to understand that on concrete it would be harder than using it on grass. So far we haven't had any broken bones. Been using it for over a year. I would recommend that you also cover it with another tarp when not in use to protect it from breaking down the fabric because of sun exposure.

It needs to be on grass. Concrete would make the landing too hard when they come down the slide.

Not recommended for concrete. The friction will wear holes in the material and its very safe because if you fall you could seriously injure yourself. Recommend grass only. Hope this helps.

The video that came with the slide was informative. I believe they recommended to set up only on level ground and not on concrete.

Its better on grass cause it could ripped cause the water slide its plastic.

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

Hi: I recently bought this GREAT item and it comes with 4 long heavy metal stakes to put in the ground. I am im the mountains and we occassionally get high wind. The windmill has stayed in the ground. This could also be placed in concrete. This is a wonderful item and I felt the price was great compared to others that were not as sturdy made.

We have only set it up on grass. I think it will be fine on a hard surface. However the tent is light weight and you may need weights to hold the legs down. I think those can be purchased if not included. On the grass you can use stakes.

100% agree with the previous post. It was not designed for concrete installation, but that doesn't mean you could not adapt it for such a scenario. We had the same issue and changed our design so that the arbor would be off the edge of the concrete patio and over a new walkway which goes to our garden. The arbor, in our design, simply sits pushed into the lawn, but it is right up against the patio and we walk through the arbor to get to the garden.

I have 2. They are on top of a concrete slab. This works well for us. I am not sure if you need a ground cover with the If the po is on grass.

I don't see any reason not to set it on concrete except the depth of the plant roots you will be planting. If the are no longer than the shallowest portion (about 8-10 inches) you should be just fine. Maybe even better as I find some of our weeds in SE Tx, even find a way through black plastic!

It can go on the grass, probably won't be as stable without the floor kit. Also very difficult to put together yourself

It does bring stakes. You can put them when it's on the ground, but not when it's on concrete. What I've done is got a small weight and attach to two of the legs with bungie cords and it works fine.

We have ours on cement for bike storage. I would think so if put on grass and auger's used to secure.

It dan be placed on grass. THere is a bracket or end cap on each leg that allows you to nail or stake the legs down to the surface you are on with an appropriate nail or stake. It does not come waterproofed.

No, it will need stakes in order to stand up properly. It's also really big - I tried to fold it up in my living room and the footprint was nearly as big as the room.

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.

It comes with stakes that worked fine for me, although I purchased extra on the advice of others. You will need something to drive the stakes in the ground. Also a tarp for the ground is helpful. Easier to clean a tarp than the bottom of the tent.

This is a permanent setup. Place it in your yard and leave it there. Not appropriate for setup and take down, picnics etc.

It comes with some stakes and unless it's extremely windy, it should be fine. It also has some tie down lines.

We used this on the grass and it was perfect. Since we had to secure/anchor it with stakes (we purchased additional larger stakes), to use it on cement I think you'd have to find a substitute for this process.
