   We already have a 10×10 pop-up canopy, but sometimes that too cumbersome. Bought this one for smaller day use. It’s really easy to figure out how to assemble, and setup/takedown is quick. The carry bag is great, with backpack straps along the length and a sturdy handle on one end.

   Within the first two months, it was the shade for digging at Crater of Diamonds State Park, a shade and quick change booth for dance performers at Toledo’s Old West End Festival, and shade for an SCA fighter at two events. The Society for Creative Anachronism martial artists tend to share huge canvas day shades, usually historically approximate, but sometimes that’s simply too much for vehicle space constraints and needs several people to put up. While it’s obviously modern, this was also small enough to tuck amongst the guy wires of other shades, using the otherwise wasted space.

   I bought this for the beach but actually my first use case was sun protection while doing some irrigation system repairs. Very easy to set up and take down. Very happy that I bought this.

   Worked well. It did move some in strong winds, but overall did what I needed. It was good for shade while not in the water.

   I’ve been using a much larger 10’x10′ pop up canopy for years for my RC helicopter hobby needs. I now prefer this much smaller and an compact sun shelter for several reasons. 1. This smaller and more compact sun shelter is much lighter weight and takes up less room in my small Honda CRV than the heavier and bulkier 10’x10′ pop up canopy. 2. This sun shelter works better for me protecting me and my equipment from the sun. Since this sun shelter has side walls, it protects me and my equipment from the sun regardless of how the sun shifts position in the sky throughout the day. With the 10’x10′ pop up canopy, I have to shift my seat and the tables looking for new shaded areas, as the sun shifts throughout the day.

   This is a great little sun and beach shelter. One person can easily assemble it. It is light enough to pick up and move around once it is assembled. And it does not have a floor so you get to sit on the grass or sand and not worry about your beach chairs poking holes through a fabric floor. And it has screens on both sides with covers that can be raised to allow a breeze to flow through if you wish. Also the back can be raised for even more air flow if desired. I plan to get a 2nd one for its original use since I modified the 1st one I bought to use in my honey bee apiary during the summer robbing season. When there are not many flowers blooming, bees are on the look out for other weaker hives to rob of their honey. If I need to open a hive and spend some time inspecting it, robbers show up and try to enter the hive which can lead to robbing if they get away with it. I needed some way to exclude the robbers. This shelter was large enough to go over my hive with enough room for me inside to work with it. I modified the shelter by attaching a fabric screen to cover the front entrance and by sewing up the two rear seams. Now I can place the shelter over each hive and leisurely inspect it without worrying about robbers. When I am done, I lift the shelter off the hive and tip it on its back to let the bees that have accumulated at the top of the shelter escape and move on to the next hive.

   This was just right for us. I purchased this to use at the beach in particular. Good quality. It is compact and easy enough to transport and assembles fairly easily. We set up 2 beach chairs inside with plenty of room to also spread out a beach towel and lay down to take a nap, or to move around and stand up. Adjustable panels on the sides roll up to allow air flow when you want it, and they secure easily when you want some protection from the wind. Included are sandbags that can be filled and attached to the bottom to hold everything in place on a windy beach. We have used it 2 times and so far, so good!

   This portable Coleman backpack sun shelter is easy to assemble and very spacious. I haven’t used this on a beach yet, but I am very much looking forward to using it on the beach. This thing is pretty big, but not obnoxiously large. It can easily fit two full-size reclining beach chairs in it, with plenty of room for a cooler or other supplies. The walls can provide as much or little shade as you want. Portability is a big plus, as the bag turns into a “backpack”, with two shoulder straps, however it’s definitely not the most comfortable thing (but the convenience is nice). I really, really, disliked having to put this thing back in the bag though. It probably takes me twice as long to put it away as it does to assemble it.

   My wife and I were looking for something that would protect us from the sun when we go to the beach. This had passed the test. It did not take up much space, it was easy to set-up, folding it back up was easy with two people. We did not use the stake that were provided, but bought sand spikes, which held the canopy in place all day in very windy conditions. Great purchase!

   Compact and lightweight, but when I read 7×7, I assumed that was top canopy measurements and the footprint would be larger. It’s just too small for what we need which would be to put our food, coolers, camp chairs, and sometimes ourselves under while raining.

    It’s easy to set up and has several configurations for airflow. Really wish it was more water resistant or came with a rain fly. It will withstand a few minutes of light mist but it will seep through and pool heavily in the corners.
