Ultimate Super Wide Beach Shelter / Tent - UPF 100+ upto 4 persons

Just what we wanted! Ample space and ample shade. Full ventilation with doors open but privacy with doors closed when needed. Other people deal with fallen umbrellas and bent poles, but this thing (when properly weighted or staked) isn't going anywhere!The floor is a mixed blessing because it's impossible to keep the sand out of the tent, so the floor does not ensure a clean space. But the floor does add stability and makes the whole thing easier to deal with than the non-floored shade we used to have.If you've ever set up a tent, you should find this extremely easy. I still recommend doing a dry run at home because you want to be familiar with the procedure BEFORE doing it in the wind. The instructions say "direct the front of the tent in desired direction", but the front and back appear the same to me.Pros- poles feel sturdy (only used once so far)- comes with skinny pin type stakes for corners and bigger plastic stakes for guy lines- ample outer pockets to weight with sand- multiple interior pockets for lotion, glasses or cellphones- sewn-in exterior pockets to hold guy lines when not in use- super light for its sizeCons- zippers are light and get stuck at corners, but not too big a deal

Very sturdy even in high winds. Can be a bit confusing to assemble especially in windy situations. Recommend doing a practice run so you understand how it all goes together. Tie string on top is a good marker to orient yourself. Our Great Dane uses the tent and the tent floor has held up. We roll up the side openings and tie off when leaving open.

I'd put it together first chance you have just to practice, but it's very easy. Similar tents cost over $200. It did pretty good on the Oregon coast with light to moderate wind. I filled the sand bags and buried them, it seemed to me that would work to keep this down under higher wind. The zippers seem a bit cheap, but I didn't have any issues w/this product. I have just used it once, but feel I have a few good summers left with it.

This tent is awesome. Way bigger than I expected. Easy to assemble, I did it by myself. I do recommend a practice run setting it up before using it in the sand. It was perfect.

I can honestly say that it stood up to extremely high speed winds, but we used umbrella stakes to tie it down. It's easy to set up, a little harder in the wind, and easy to take down and store. I wish we had had better beach conditions to use it in, hopefully next year.

Great size, plenty of room for our family of 6, but it's already starting to tear upon the second use. One of the tabs that holds down the poles tore completely off, and there's a tear growing on one seam. It's just not going to hold up over time. One of the poles was broken upon arrival (the elastic cord pulled out of one end) but we were willing to overlook it since the tent really is cool and fits our needs, just wish it was a little more sturdy.

very poor qualityThe design concept is great,however very cheaply made.just wasted 80 dollars.two of the black corner straps where the poles go into just ripped out .and all around there were uncut threads all over the place.had to be careful when using the zippers, that the threads would not get stuck in the zippers.poor workmanship.only used it twice it ripped on the second day.

Defective product. The first time we tried setting it up, the stiches ripped from the fabric (that holds down the 4 corners) and made it impossible to set up. It's useless now. We did not get a chance to use the tent even one time because of the poor quality in which it is made. Buyer beware.
