I have only concrete and bricks as floor on my backyard. do I have to stake to the ground in order to make sure it is safe for my kids? 2 and 4 yrs ol

I'd go with a different model by bounceland. Jungle or Royal palace. Much safer and sturdier. Put a tarp under it to keep from ripping.

We've taken ours out into the yard for the kids to use, but only on very slightly uneven ground. Anything more than that and it would be unstable and prone to tipping.

I would highly recommend using cement. My kids swing climb and do crazy stuff on this swing set and there is never a safety question about whether the swing set can tolerate the wear and tear. I would not feel safe using this set without the cement foundation.

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.

Hi Laurelic Kids slide onto ground base is thick enought. Ours is on dirt. Must make sure no rocks or twigs underneath.

They can stand around the edge of a concrete pad(in the dirt), but, not on concrete. There are pins that slide between each panel that would drive downward into the ground. If you did not drive them into the ground, they would probably blow away or fall down.

I don't recall if there were any type of footings (such as rubber or plastic) that would work well on a floor. Since I used it outside, I just pushed the ends right into the dirt. It might slide around too much or scratch a floor without any footing material. Probably should check description of what's included in the box, or go for it, and get creative...it would definitely be beautiful with some kind of pots (you could kind of hide the pots with various decor) filled with climbing roses/jasmine/tulle, etc. Good luck!

They come with metal pegs you can drill into the ground. We use it on our concrete driveway, drilled holes into the concrete and inserted the pegs, securing them with a washer. It's held down very securely.

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

I use bricks/branches to for leveling and used bricks instead of stakes for stabilizing the top (half the time I don't need anything other than adjusting the base slightly forward or backward to make the screen level. Do not leave out if windy as it will turn into a sail however it is the last thing I worry about if it starts raining. I even sprayed down the screen once to clean it.

I don't know about that. Mine is on the ground. I built a decorative brick retaining wall around it.

It's cushy, but not cushy enough for brick. The instructions also say not to put it on concrete. We have a concrete patio, though, and my plan was to put it on a few towels to protect it, but in the end, I opted to put it on the grass.

It is a very thick plastic. It does not go into the ground but if you have any type of wind you will need to tie down securely. I used tie downs plus cinder blocks around the edges. I have tied down a gazebo (on concrete) using cinder blocks as well. Good luck.

Hi Heidi, I think you could do that. I have mine in my yard, but I have not had it staked down as we like to move it off the grass to mow and to shift it around so that it does not mess up the grass too much. If you need to keep it still you could always put some weight on the back (like a 5 gallon bucket filled with dirt) of each corner. Hope this helps. --Matt

If you have no wind where you are at you would be safe but if you do I would at least screw into the dirt. We drilled ours into a concrete pad. The poles are hollow and it's a large canopy-not something you would like flying around your yard..

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.

Yes, it is pre-drilled and cut. I put it on a deck. I don't see why you couldn't put it on the ground. You might want to pour footers--4 hunks of cement going down below the frost line--so that it doesn't sink into the dirt. I don't know where you live or how wet it gets there. Mine's been up a year and I really like it.
