Does this tent come with the stakes to hold it down in the sand? How is it held down? Thanks.

Yes it comes with the stakes,but I found it works better if you dig about a five inch hole then cover the stakes with sand . If the wind is strong.

You can use the tent at the beach, but make sure you have tent stakes that will hold it down in the sand. Wind is often a factor near the ocean, and if your tent isn't properly anchored it will likely blow away. I've never camped at the beach, but I'm sure someone makes tent stakes for those conditions.

Yes it does and even without them the bottoms onthe sides are mesh so the wind can blow through. I used this for a few days on the beach and didn't have any problems. If you're realy worried it also has tent pegs, but those aren't great for sand. We also had a small cooler that we had and moved it to the edge to stay out of the way and that might have helped, but we never noticed it doing anything.

I believe there are around 12-18 stakes (or so) included in the set, but in my experience, the stakes are perfectly fine. We've used the tent about a dozen times and have used the stakes in regular grass, sandy soil, and very rocky soil, as well as through inclement weather. The we have not had a single problem with the stakes being flimsy, bending, coming loose, etc.

Yes it even comes with stakes. I prefer to use different stakes because the stakes that come with it are cheap and bend. Spend about $15 dollars and get yourself some real aftermarket ones.

the tent itself is freestanding but the fly needs stakes to hold it out in position. I slept in a pretty heavy rain last summer on my Boundary Waters trip and stayed dry. Nice tent.

It comes with stakes. No mallet or puller. That "Kit" does not have enough stakes for this tent. Better to get longer steal stakes and a claw hammer for hammering and pulling out the stakes. Really depends on the type of terrain you are camping on and the weather conditions. We always use longer stakes in case of windy/rainy weather.

Yes it is a very sturdy tent that usually stays put wherever you put it. It comes with stakes as well.

It comes with something like 12 stakes i believe? It has 3-4 for each side as well as stakes for the rain fly. They are the lightweight compact aluminum kind. Great tent for the price.

It did fine in the wind. We had one day with strong winds that would make the tent bend a bit but it never pulled loose from the stakes in the ground. We didn't even used the sandbags.

No it doesn't. I actually bought the heavy duty tent stakes that are used for large tents at weddings/events/etc and some rope to anchor mine down. It worked great and you only need 4. It's probably about the same price as those cheap sand weights, but worked better.

Yes, the sandbags are attached at the corners and hold down the canopy, in addition to the stakes. it is a very quick way to set it up, just put sand in and your done. when you take it down, just dump the sand out and your done. we really enjoyed our canopy for the past year. I definitely would recommend it. i also put it up by myself, which is a nice feature since most require two people.

I use the tent without stakes but it's not that windy where I am. Also, if it rains, the water comes right thru. Cool, big tent as long as weather is perfect.

Number of stakes needed will depend entirely on wind. It's a large and tall tent, so it definitely catches air. I got caught in a strong wind storm a couple months back, and no amount of stakes would have kept it anchored. I ended up tying it to a tree, and the wind still almost flattened it.

This tent is not freestanding--it comes with about 8-10 stakes (I think!) which are definitely required. The central pole only holds up the very middle of the tent and the sides sag unless you spread the stakes far enough away from the tent.

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