This Beach Cabana is very easy to set up. You just undo the elastic band and toss is away from you. Be careful that it doesn’t spring open in your face. The tent has a single window in the back with a double zipper and ties so you can roll up the flap. The window opens from the top so you can crack just a part of the window if you want. There is no awning or extra shade for this tent. It is big enough for an adult to lay down or for several kids to play in. The bottom has a single seam. None of the seams are taped as it’s a sun shade not a rain shelter. There is a single seam in the top. There are loops on the front edge to connect something but there was nothing else in the bag. The loops are also on the back. They may be useful to attach a tarp for additional shade. The hardest thing about this tent is figuring out how to fold it back up and get it in the bag. But, once you understand how to fold up this type of tent, it folds up quickly and easily into a circle and goes back easily into is carrying bag. There are instructions included on how to fold the tent properly. The tent came with standard L-shaped tent stakes as well as ropes to secure the tent. You need to make sure that it is well secured as it is so lightweight it will be picked up by the wind and rolled if not secured.
