Does this unit need to be staked to the ground or weighted down in order not to tip over?

No it doesnt! I have it on my backyard that has woodchips, its very stable.

No it doesn't. I haven't had any problems with it tipping over or anything. But I have 3 yr old twins so they're pretty light, but they're dad & I play on it also& still no issues.

No, this unit does not need to be staked. We bought it as a birthday gift for our grandkids, ages 2,3,4 and 6. They absolutely love it!!! Any of them can ride on it with no problem of tipping over.

No, it does not. My great grand children have had theirs for several months now. They have used it by going around at top speed (to the point of abuse) and it does not even come close to tipping over. We have had it both on the lawn and the concrete driveway with no problem. The biggest concern is keeping non-riders out of the way when it is in use.

It will function without being staked or weighted, but for peace of it is of course better to do so. One thing you should know is that the product dimensions with thetomorrow recommended fall zone is 18' by 18'.

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, but it is small and compact, unlikely to tip over. Move important is - NEVER USE HIGH HEAT. Use low or medium. High will trip a breaker or burn a hole in the wall.

Very solid! The all wood construction and pedestal type footings keeps this from tipping-- it is heavy, and has not ever tipped with our use :-)

It will stand up fine on a concrete surface and is very stable. It has been my experience that staking is mainly for windy conditions. Again, from past experience, if it is not staked, medium to high wind can cause it to lift, roll, flip and damage the frame. I would not leave it up unstaked in wind. I do leave mine up all the time; however, it is nestled and secured between 4 posts at the corners. I hope this helps and best of luck!

I guess it depends on wind conditions. If it is not windy, no need to secure it. If you are concerned about wind, you could place something that weighs a few pounds, like a small sandbag on the feet.It is really pretty sturdy. We have used ours several times with no need to secure it to the ground.

It would need to be pushed into the ground, or somehow weighted down, to keep it standing upright. Mine has been fine by simply pushing it into the dirt.

Yes, it is weighted. I have not had a problem with it tipping over, if you put shoes on one side.

well its pretty sturdy, you have to really hit it hard to knock it over, but I don't think it comes with a tip-over feature, I just turned it on and laid it on the floor and it stayed on ...so I don't think so.

The design prevents it from tipping. Mine is full and I've never had an issue. Would be difficult to tip it over, actually.

I have never anchored it to anything. It is such a nice sturdy chair, I feel it sits so low and have never had problems with it tipping or moving from where I set it.

Cecilia,I have had no problems with the rack and it is fully loaded. It has never tipped over but with that being said you should always distribute the tools so the weight is dispersed across the rack

It will just need to have metal stakes in the ground and the arch put over the stakes to keep it in place. It would tip over otherwise, as would most arches if not secured.

We have a mat under the bar on top of the bottom support bars that provides weight. We have never had it fall or tip over.

The bases are small but weighted well. I haven't had any problems with them tipping.

Yes, it has a stake that screws on the bottom. Because they're a little tall and top heavy, bumping them will cause them to lean slightly. However the stake keeps them from falling over. I've been very pleased with mine.

I really do not know if this unit has the feature your inquiring about. This is made as a solid furniture peace. If I had to compare I would says it's similar to an end table. Tipping over is not something the average user would have to be concerned about unless you intend standing on .
