Kit de piquets pour gazon/terre pour structure de tente de 3 m

When do I need stakes rather than weights?

Whenever the ground will take them. On grass or soil a driven steel stake anchors into the earth itself, which holds harder than ballast sitting on the surface — and there is nothing to fill, carry in, or pay freight on. Use weights or water bases instead on pavement, concrete, and indoor floors, where stakes cannot be driven and are usually not permitted.

What is included, and why is anchoring not optional?

The kit is heavy-duty steel ground stakes sized for our 10' tent frame; the tent frame and canopy are sold separately. Wind is the single biggest risk to an outdoor tent, and an unanchored canopy is a sail — it lifts at the weakest corner, and once a corner lifts the whole frame is being levered. Anchoring every leg every time is what keeps a tent standing through an afternoon gust and what keeps it from becoming a hazard to the people around it. Steel stakes also survive being driven into hard-packed ground season after season, where lighter pegs bend.
