Yes it can but you will need to use some sort of weighted bags or blocks to anchor

I have used it on our bluestone patio. I don't think it would put an imprint in hot asphalt, You could use small square pieces of plywood under the feet. If the concern is the wind because it can't be anchored, I've seen a number of different size ballast bags that use either sand or water for weight.

Yes, we set it up on asphalt all the time. We use tent weights to hold it down on windy days

It can be set up on just about any surface. How you secure it to black top is up to you.

I have not done so with this specific item. That said, it should behave like any other pop-up or garage canopy on a hard surface -- you'll want weight bags (or drywall buckets full of concrete or bricks) or another method of replacing staking it down.

Yes. This can be set up on asphalt or cement. The best tent I ever bought.

I have used this tent on asphalt several times. If its windy you will want to use large nail spikes in the foot of the legs to hold it down. We also use cement blocks for the other tie down ropes. Works great and super easy to set up and take down.

The Giga Tent can be set up on asphalt. In fact, that is how we use it.
