Assuming theres not wind, will the tent stand up on its own on a hardscaped patio ? Also how could it be heated ?>

yes it will stand up - it is very heavy duty and it not a "pop up" style. with any wind though should be staked but can use sand bags for weight as well. Use can use patio heater in it as long as you leave one end open

Yes, This tent is very stable in a slow wind also. The heating question is up to you,we used electric heaters.

Yes, it's a sturdy tent for the money. The poles are what I would call a mid-Guage but definitely do the job well. I wouldn't do chip ups on them once erected but they are more than adequate for holding the product nicely for a lengthy time. I'm not sure I'd use anything that produces a lot of heat because the material will melt with direct heat is applied. A couple small electric heaters on the ground in the corners should work as long as they are aimed inward. The tent will hold the heat since the material is not breathable. Hope this helps..

we used our tent on the driveway in front of the garage. then we strung ropes out to the grass and staked it down. you could tie ropes to sandbags on your patio if needed.

It's like everything else you have to do on your own: It could be done but it would be really hard. It's not intended for one person to do. I'm not fond of this tent, having used it for one camp of a week's duration. It did the job and held up to a pretty good windstorm, without guy lines, but it's just not a great tent. You can put it up alone but you'll be throwing poles before you're finished and I think there's a risk of tearing the mesh because it flops around a lot while it's going up.

Yes it gets extremely hot. You can put under a patio as long as you have at least 18 inches, but that also depends what your patio is covered with.

The wind would be a problem, having camped on a lot of beaches myself. You will need something more than the type of stakes provided to keep it firmly connected to the ground. You could buy really long stakes or weight the corners. It's a great lightweight tent but if the wind blows hard, I would expect to have problems.

This screen tent is sturdy and roomy. We really like it. It will set on a patio fine but if it is windy you'd want to tie it down some how.

yes, you need some kind of canopy frame to use this tent. Also, a strong wind will pick the tent up, so it must have some way to keep it secured to the ground.

I'd be a little concerned about it if there was any wind. While you can stake it down I don't know if it will hold if it was windy. Hope this helps.

It will stand up by itself. Windy conditions it should be secured with the stakes.

Since the tent is not free standing, it is a little difficult to get up by yourself. I would put the stakes in first then the pole.

this is a child's tent, made from lightweight fabric, similar to light kite material. I have no clue why you are asking this question, but it is not a closed tent. It's meant to be played with indoors. It could not withstand the outside temp or any wind. Its flimsy, but strong enough for a couple of little kids. But it probably would not holdup with rough play, and it would not be big enough to put sleeping bags in, etc. I don't recall the size, but it is no bigger than 7x7 or so.

The top does get hot, I don't think it is recommended to put under a covered patio, however we did and it has not been an issue. We left it on overnight under a canvas with about 2 feet clearance and it did not catch fire...However I don't recommend that practice

Hi, Well I put mine under a patio with only one side open.. Its a beautiful cage.. so I really dont know how it would hold up if it is out in the open.. maybe if it is under a patio it will be ok.. but I live in Cal. and the weather is alot different here then in NJ.. So I dont think I am much help..

I think the tent is well made , BUT I it would not hold in 50 + MPH wind That is a very high wind you are talking about. You will need a tent made for high wind and harsh weather I hope this helped

Seems like a pretty sturdy shelter. For wind I wound add some extra tie-downs and use screw in stakes. Having said that I am not sure any shelter will stand up to a lot of wind and snow.

We lowered it to halfway down on windy days. You have to squat down to get under neath but we were sitting in chairs anyway so it didn't obstruct our view. It will work as long as you don't raise it all the way. It's really a great tent but if it's super windy all the time you are on the beach I prob wouldn't bother.

Possibly, if you don't have heavy winds or snow. I'm in central AL, and I love the coverage of this tent. We set it up on our cement carport in preparation for a yard sale the following day. That night, heavy winds & rain blew it over, but we did not have it staked into the ground. 2 of the 6 support poles bent, but we were able to make it work for the 2-day sale. I think if you adequately stake it to the ground, it would make a great pool/patio cover. The poles seem to be replacible w/PVC pipe. It's a decent tent, just not for those of us in the tornado-prone South or frequent snowfall North.
