This is the best thing since sliced bread! Goes up easily, nice and roomy,very sturdy. no WAY will the wind take this tent with the sand holding down the 4 corners! No need to carry an umbrella, which always manages to blow away. This is THE one item you want for your beach days.Wish we'd known about it sooner.
A good solid sturdy umbrella. Requires a 30 pound base. Not the easiest to put together but worth the effort. It casts excellent shade and love the tilt mechanism. If it gets really windy I just lower the pole rather than closing umbrella. Because it is rectangular it doesn’t close like a round one. Am very pleased so far with this umbrella!
I really like this tent. I live on the beach so it gets daily use. I didn’t want to carry a huge traditional tent and umbrellas flip and never give enough shade. This is perfect it folds up small and light. I can set it up by myself in 5 minutes! Every time I’m at the beach I always get stopped by tourists to ask about it. I like how I can adjust the poles or add more poles depending on the sun.
