My family and I have lived near the beach all our lives. We've gone through many a beach umbrella and know what to look for when shopping for one that will last. First let me say that not everyday at the beach is terribly windy but it only takes one windy day to destroy a slightly flimsy beach umbrella, canopy, or cabana. I spent a few days shopping, reading reviews, and watching videos before I purchased this "cabana." It was on sale at the time and that was a nice bonus. It arrived on time and we'll packaged several days ago. We finally took it out yesterday and love that it comes with it's own carry case. When we got to the beach it was a bit windy but not bad.. Yet. Pro tip: bring a small shovel with you so you can easily dig down about 24" before you place the base of the main pole and twist it down even deeper. If you don't want to chase your umbrella down the beach, do this first! Once we had the pole set nice and deep, and the sand was compacted well around it, we had the rest of the umbrella up and the "legs" and back attached and anchored in about 3 minutes. Very easy! We filled the pockets at the bottom of the legs and back attachment with sand and our cabana didn't move at all for the next 6 hours. This is surprising because the wind continued to kick up as the day went on, and it got almost unpleasant. We watched other beach-goers umbrellas flip inside out, get blown out of the sand and blow down the beach. This is a fantastic product, I highly recommend purchasing this canopy.

Had enough room, very easy to set up. Took about 3 or 4 minutes total from start to finish for my wife and I. Plenty of room for our stuff and a queen size air mattress. We're both 5'7 and stood straight up just fine (not hard to do 🤣) had some rain and it stayed dry. Only thing that I didn't like is the zipper on the door catches and the rain from the fly will come in when you open the door (very little). Overall, great tent for the money! Would buy again.

I have a hard top on my pontoon boat so I can't put the straps through the bars, so instead I had to use clips and I unzipped another part that had straps and connected it to the other side to hang it. It will due as a changing room or to use my portable potty in for privacy.
