After our pop up shelter finally died, we bought this bc of being tired of the origami hassle with refolding the pop up. Our camping tent has clips that make it super easy to set up, take down, and store and this shelter was the only one we could find with clip attachments. Super sad that the fiberglass poles are so flimsy and one was already broken upon arrival. Fabric is quite thin, zippers had split apart but we were able to rezip them, and the sewing was a bit unfinished in places. It was the perfect size and very light weight, but will be returning it and will keep looking as I can't imagine a replacement will be much different. Glad I wasn't at the beach before first opening it!!!

The portable sand shelter looks nice! I set this shelter up in around 5-7 minutes. The beach had around 10-12 MPH winds today, and the shelter never moved much at all. I am sure the shelter will provide some sunblock, but I cannot speak to how well. I had on SPF 50 today in the southwest. Overall, a nice shelter and installs easily!

We struggled to get it to set up snd to stay up in the wind in regular beach breezes. It worked okay but we had to readjust the poles as the winds shifted and it started to collapse. By day two, we decided not to bother. That said, if you do want to spend some time to set it up, the fabric was sturdy but easy to stretch and fill with sand, and it is a beautiful teal color.

Perfect for primitive camping. Not having to poop in vault toilets at campsites has been amazing lol.

This shade is working well for me. Positives include:
1. Reflective, opaque material so sun blockage is very nearly 100 %.
2. Light weight.
3. Pleasant shape - looks nicer than a simple tent.
4. As long as there is some slight air movement, the material doesn't heat up much, so it should last well.
5. Well-made eyes, loops and reinforcing.
The only negative I've noticed was some small dots where the white coating is missing and pinpoints of light are visible.

This tent is amazing for travelling light. We used ours as a sun shelter for our 18 month old, and it was perfect. It’s a simple pop up in an instant making assembly super easy! It’s sturdy once pinned down and doesn’t get too hot inside when zipped up. The pockets that line the inside we’re handy to keep all of the essentials in for quick access, and it’s just as easy to fold back down and into the bag.

It’s compact, light and the ideal tent!
