If the tent has no frame, how does it hold its shape?

Four pegs hold the corners of the floor stretched out. A rope goes through the top, holding it up. The tent must be placed between two trees or posts (like a hammock). The Iincluded pegs are weak steel wire, suggest buying set of real tent pegs. Also the tent is designed to keep you warm, but in extreme heat I believe it can be turned inside out to reflect heat away.

It is bungie corded to the frame. I used extra tent stakes and never had a problem with it staying secured.

The bottom is open. You attach it to the bed like you would a fitted sheet. There are poles that go into the top of the tent to give it shape. Fits very nice.

It's extremely light weight, but provided there is enough weight in it, it will stay put.. I had it at Burning Man, where it was very windy, but, I had a lot of weight inside. It got very dusty inside, due to the extreme wind and dust (playa in the Black Rock Desert) but it held up. I had no problem with ripped seems. It would, in my opinion, make a decent, inexpensive kids tent. It's quite small, but perfect for 2 small people that like each other a lot, or children. It will not go back into the bag that it came with. That to me is also not an issue. I hope this helped.

It's not a tent...it's a canopy and has no sides. It does come with stakes, but in loose sand, they probably won't work well.

If you take proper care of it, the tent will hold up a while. Mine probably has a dozen trips on it, and remains in great shape.

This tent is not free standing, it has only one pole the goes right down the center. This tent has to be staked down to set up. But if you are using it for backpacking it is great I love mine. It has to be one of the lighted tents I have ever used. Hope I have helped!

Yes. Only the front is complete mesh, the sides are partial. There is no airflow through this tent.

It will hold a shape. It would probably stand on its own but it will need supported. It is made out of wire.

Scott, I bought two of these tents and if you have two people put the frame together without the legs and then put the legs on one side only that will take a couple of hours, if you then have at least four people to help guide the tent over the frame then you can be done in another hour. That is really taking your time and doing it right. This method also allows you to put it together without ladders. You install the other set of legs after you have attached the tent in the eves with the bungie straps.

All you're buying is the tent itself. No mattress or stand or bedframe. Hope that helps.

I think it would hold up pretty good. You "nail" the tent down to the beach with stakes. So the better you secure the stakes the better it will hold up.

Not really because the whole front needs to be anchored down to hold the rest of the tent tight. I might also mentioned that a gust of wind tore mine in half the first night I ever used it.

The legs make a broad u-shape with the "u" against the tent bottom, and the loose ends stuck safely into metal bars that make the frame for the cot. It shouldn't damage the tent.

It has a frame that you can detach for folding purposes. So it's very sturdy when the frame is in place!

No. It rolls up like a real tent. It has two, large removable poles that thread through the seams. It's smallish so it rolls up nicely.

I'm personally not running any fans but I would personally want to support the fan somehow how cause the tent and frame aren't the strongest but then again it might be able to support the fan just sitting on top of the tent
