The PROS:
- very easy to set up and take down, very lightweight for transport
- good size, comfortable for 2 adults
- has several features with windows, zippers, screens, etc., to be set up properly depending on the conditions.
- good shading inside although I doubt it provides a protection factor of 50 as it seems somewhere. A factor of 30 is more reasonable.
The CONS:
- Lightweight construction, especially the fabric which wears out first at the seams.
- Quite vulnerable to wind, does not stand stable with gusts of wind. With moderate wind, it definitely needs additional support with ropes that will secure the poles and anchor them to large stones or serious stakes. The stakes provided for the 4 corners are simply useless.
- Quite hot inside when the sun is high.
In conclusion, it is a good purchase, but if intended for the beach with wind (which beach in Greece during summer doesn’t have wind?) then it needs additional organization with 4 ropes. Otherwise, it won't hold up.
3 summers and it is flawless, with no wear at all! I had no idea about tents before and it is indeed very easy as they say for setting up and packing away!
Bought this year for the beach. Tested for 10 consecutive days with wind and didn't encounter any problems. Easy opening and closing. Very satisfied with the time I've had it.
I received this tent as a gift, which I needed as many times at the beach, both myself and other people in the group had issues with the intense sun burning us. I tried it immediately as I was given the gift at the beach.
1. Setup: Easy, fast, simple (very satisfied). Maybe in windy conditions it becomes a little more difficult to avoid breaking, but with a little care nothing happens.
2. Wind resistance: Despite the fact that there was quite a bit of wind (not very strong, but it was quite intense), the tent had no issues during setup or during use, however compared to a test I did later at home, it definitely requires a little attention with the wind. Still, nothing terrible, generally just with the weight pockets it had in the corners it held up fine.
3. Temperature: When the sun hits it, it can raise the temperature a bit. With both doors and windows open, this problem does not exist, but as it is natural, the more you close it, the more it increases. I haven't had to close them all yet. However, it is definitely better than sitting in the sun in the middle of summer.
4. Space: Three adults can sit comfortably inside with bags, or four with one bag each. For two or one person, it easily becomes a tent. You can comfortably lie down at 2 meters in length (I am 1.80 and my girlfriend is quite shorter, so comfortably) and each person can put a bag at the edge.
5. Packing and size in the bag: Unfortunately, it takes up almost as much space as a closed umbrella in length. I think a little less than a meter. For someone with a car, this is not an issue, for me with a motorcycle it is a bit of a problem. However, it is lightweight and has two loops up and down where I will adjust a strap to wear it crosswise, so it's a small inconvenience. It just doesn't fit in the hiking bag I would like underneath. Packing is generally easy, the more you do it, the easier it gets. Even one person after a little practice has no issue.
Finally, for its price, it is very good, although the quality of the materials is not jaw-dropping, it is a good lightweight practical tent that can easily support a few people and maybe even do something more than just provide shade. I will come back as I try it out.
It sets up in half a minute, takes down in 2. A very good purchase that I would make again. We put the baby inside, my wife sits with him and they have plenty of space. Worth every penny.
Very fast to open, close even by one person. It is not pop-up, it has poles and pockets for sand around and for pegs in the 4 corners. Ideal for 2-3 people and their bags inside!
I bought it to get rid of the umbrella as much as possible! I bought it based on the reviews but also based on the umbrella I have from the same company, which is a dog.
Well, setting it up is a matter of 2 minutes. Actually, it takes more time to wrap it like a sausage to put it in the case than to open and close it.
I also place a double straw inside so that the tent doesn't need much shaking afterwards to get rid of sand, etc.
It is spacious (for what it is), meaning... it comfortably fits 3 adults with a backpack each. Personally, I use it with my wife and my two children (2 and 4 years old). It easily fits all our belongings.
In terms of quality, as I mentioned, because I have the umbrella from the same company and I am very satisfied, I believe that this one will also be of good quality.
The two downsides I found are the following:
The pegs it has are small and thin, so on windy days I don't know how much they will hold. Of course, I will go to a store with iron colors, etc. to see if I can find something similar but longer and a bit thicker to be complete!
The second downside is that when the sun is directly overhead, i.e. during noon hours, essentially half of the tent is in the sun. During the rest of the hours, obviously you can turn it a bit here and there and you're fine.
That's why I wrote that I will get rid of the umbrella as much as possible because definitely (for me who wants shade) during noon hours you need an umbrella to put in front. Unfortunately, this tent does not have a "canopy" like some others.
That's why I gave it 4 stars.
Other than that, it has two openings that can be used as doors and it also has two windows with mosquito nets, please!
For its price, I believe it is very good!
The tent opens and closes very easily and is relatively spacious.
The fabric is relatively thin.
When folded, it is somewhat bulky but light enough for transportation.
It has a handle only for hand carrying, but at both ends it has 2 loops where I can attach a strap to carry it on my back.
For its price (34€) it seems to be an extremely good purchase.
It was purchased a year ago and has already been used several times in various conditions!! To be able to stand in the air, it is necessary to buy ropes to tie the joints!! The pegs it contains do not help much on their own!!!
I wanted something easy for the beach because the sunbeds are gone, but unfortunately I didn't think that I'm going on vacation to Tinos where it's always windy. However, every time I can use it, it's fantastic
I bought this tent to "accommodate" 2 adults and 2 children (6 and 2 years old) along with 2 bags of beach toys and 2 backpacks with bathing essentials.
I had a very bad experience with another "pop-up" type tent that opened in a second but couldn't close at all, so I threw it away.
This one is very easy to use, it opens in 2 minutes at most with one person and also closes in 2 minutes at most with two people.
In the pictures, it looks smaller than it actually is because we didn't believe that all four of us could comfortably lie down inside.
Our practice was to open it, put the bags and backpacks inside to stabilize it initially, and then I would put my own stakes with ropes to make it more stable.
You should know that its own stakes that go into the 4 holes of its "legs" are relatively fake and bend with the first wind, so you should have 4 of your own stakes with ropes to tie them to the "joints" of the 4 poles.
Additionally, you can also put 4 large stones on top of the pockets for sand (when I put sand inside the pockets, their weight was not satisfying and the tent couldn't hold).
With all the openings open (2 "doors" and 2 "windows" with screens), the tent is okay in terms of air circulation and satisfactory if you close one "door".
For additional shade, I would also put an umbrella near the entrance, which I would secure with a base-hammer.
The only problem I encountered was its cleanliness after use because it fills up with sand, pebbles, and whatever else the beach has, and since the "doors" have the zipper 5 inches from the ground (I assume for water avoidance reasons), the tent needs to be turned upside down to get most of it out.
In any case, I have been fully satisfied with its use, it provides space, shade, the "fabric," the joints, and the zippers seem to be of good quality, it is very easy to open and close, and when closed, it fits into its very practical bag that even a 6-year-old can carry since it is very light and compact and doesn't take up space in the car.
At €38.97, which I bought it for on July 25th, it is the definition of value for money.
Buy it without hesitation!
It is quite spacious and cool. Of course, if it is hit by the sun, the temperature rises. I haven't tried it in strong wind yet, but in light wind, it had no problem. In combination with an umbrella, it is perfect for the beach. It can be set up instantly by one person. To pack it up quickly, it takes two people, but it is not difficult or time-consuming. It is ideal for families and its price is just right.
I have had it for two years and I am very satisfied! Definitely value for money! I have tested it in strong winds and it withstands, just if the wind is against, I close it for any possibility, if no one is inside.
It opens and sets up in a minute. If it's windy, it takes two extra minutes to put sand in the pockets. The first time I had difficulty in packing it up, then it was a piece of cake.
If it gets wet, it needs to be washed, so that the zippers don't get damaged by the salt.
4 stars because the zipper in the carrying case broke with the second use.
It can be set up in a minute. Even children can set it up. It withstands the wind if you use the pegs, but I haven't tried it in very strong wind. I am satisfied with the product. It also has plenty of space.
The tent overall is very good, easy to set up and take down. The 4 rating is because the frame does not withstand any wind, not even a slight breeze. Always have ropes and pegs with you for securing the frame. (The ones in the packaging are only for the 4 bottom corners of the tent.)
Very good product. It sets up in 2 minutes, with great ease. We enjoyed it very much on whichever beach we went. Tip: with a thin mattress or something similar 149×200 cm inside, it turns into a comfortable tent / shade, to enjoy your whole day at the beach. However, be careful as it is sensitive to the wind.
I bought it too after reading the comments... It is very easy to install and dismantle, spacious and as cool as possible. In terms of durability, I set it up once and everything was fine. The second time, with a wind of 3 Beaufort, one support broke, rendering it useless... It's a shame, it had good potential.. For me, it's not worth the money at all
Comfortable to set up, not the same when it comes to packing. You will definitely need a rope so that the wind does not bend it. Due to its easy opening, its legs have many joints, which means that they bend with a slight breeze! Finally, its seams are a bit of a joke. Very sloppy workmanship...
Very good shading. Comfortable for two adults along with our belongings. For now, we have tested it with moderate wind and the sandbags were sufficient. As for the quality of the materials, it seems good, but it will definitely show over time.
Good overall.. easy to set up with one person, and easy to pack up if there is no wind. If there is a little wind, it can be easily packed up with two people.
Unfortunately, if there is wind, it folds easily, and the pegs come off easily. It definitely needs to be tied with a rope somewhere high to prevent it from folding and better pegs.
Good for putting your things in and for two children it's fine... beyond that, it needs a supplement and an umbrella for more shade...
In strong wind, however, it folds by itself...
It takes a little time to gather nicely and be able to fit in the case...
Difficult to clean at the end when you have to rinse it from sand...
Very user-friendly and convenient, it can be easily transported, opened, and set up comfortably by one person, and it closes and folds just as easily. It is quite spacious, provides great shade, and its openings help keep it cool, always to the extent possible and depending on the weather conditions.
It opens very easily, it also closes very easily.. I can say in comparable times with an umbrella.. 2 people fit comfortably together with beach chairs. It withstands the wind even in intensities that good umbrellas have issues with.. Personally, I set it up together with an umbrella next to it, so the combination for 2 children and 2 adults is more than enough. Inside the tent, we put mobile phones, wallets, etc... With 38 degrees at noon and the sun hitting it, if you leave the windows open and even half of the third side open, it maintains a relatively cool temperature.. On days that are around 30 degrees, it is very cool.. One of my best purchases, I was helped a lot by the reviews of others, so that's why I decided to leave a similar one myself.. I recommend it as a supplement along with an umbrella for families..
