Honestly I love this shade tent -- we spent a lot of the summer and fall at the beach and this held up for a full five months of heavy use and is still going strong. It zips up all the way (great when it unexpectedly rains) and also has withstood pretty strong winds, and fits two low chairs, two adults, and a dog with no problem. The folding is a little tricky the first time, but I took photos when I originally opened it up and now repacking it into the bag just takes a minute or two.

My son absolutely loves this! It was easy to set up and his mattress fits great in it.

I have a Gazelle T4 overland tent which comes with great stakes. When we decided to camp at the Outer Banks, NC at Cape Lookout. I wanted to make sure I had the correct gear also. I did buy another set of sand stakes on whatcampingtent.com a week before but wasn’t sure they would do the job. I looked on whatcampingtent.com again and saw these. I got them because I knew they would work in loose beach sand. The other brand I was hoping they would work. At Cape Lookout the wind is nonstop and the sand is what you would expect at the beach. 35 mph wind gust with zero issues and I only used them on the guy lines. The quality is definitely great. They cost a bit more but it’s worth it. My girlfriend has only camped a few times over night and I didn’t want any tent problems in the middle of the night so she wouldn’t have a bad experience. Piece of mind is worth the cost.

Fits over a mini van door (without interfering with the door sliding mechanism) & well designed

Easy to set up and easy to take down. It was good as a beach cabana, but I don’t know if it would survive extreme conditions if camping overnight in the rain because the material is thin. However, it’s worth the money, and I can always throw a light tarp over it in an emergency.

Just as I expected
