I had decided for this tent, I was assuming that you insert the rods into the ground - and the tent thus fix in the ground. But unfortunately, my childhood memories are probably not as compatible with the nowadays to be purchased (favorable) Tippi. The plastic bars which you put together have indeed passed, but are not perfectly straight - but bend obvious ... seem a bit too long ... You have the tent, since it does not come with herring, etc., so in windy conditions to safety or tie up somewhere, otherwise it is flying at wind of it. My son (4) like the tent and with a heavy older ceiling it beibt also in lighter wind gusts stand (ceiling but then has to be taken out in the rain, as the tent only by two small Velcro straps in the middle and at the bottom of the " door "can be closed down - or drying the ceiling after the rain ...). All in all, a cute tent - only were my expectations and ideas a little different ...
