Through the use of an ingenious ballast system the TopTent can be installed on nearly any surface with out staking it to the ground.  The TopTent can be installed on manicured lawns, golf courses and delicately designed landscaping without causing damage to turf or underground utilities.  Likewise it can be installed on stone, concrete or paved areas without the unsightly hassles of water barrels.  The TopTent is engineered to withstand severe winds, rain and snow loads making it a far superior choice when working in unpredictable and potentially severe weather conditions.
