   Looking for that large coverage? THIS IS IT! It is huuugeee! Works great and gets the job done. Good brand…the color is beautiful. Easy to put away ad set up.

   The carrying case came with a hole from one of the umbrella spokes. One of the hinged on one of the ribs looked a little bent out of shape but still functioned. After using the umbrella once, that bent hinge broke and the rib poked a hole in the canopy. I can probably hack the hinge back into place with a mallet but the canopy is sone sort of plastic so sewing it won’t work. Might could glue it but repairing a product after one use seems sort of stupid. Probably not buying another. At least not from this company.

   This thing really is big enough to provide shade for two beach chairs plus assorted extra stuff (beach bags, towels, a cooler, etc.). It’s easy to carry and pretty simple to set up, though the directions are a tad oversimplified. It definitely provides sun protection! On a sunny, 80-degree day with light wind, the temperature under it was distinctly lower than in the sun (actually almost uncomfortably cooler, since we were dressed for hot weather), and someone who sat on the edge of the shade got slightly sunburned, but only on the arm that was in the sun. Used in umbrella mode, it did vibrate in the wind slightly more than the standard beach umbrellas around us seemed to, not sure why. Opening the mesh window helped reduce that. For reference, it comes in three pieces, one being the anchor that you twist into the ground. You then have the option to connect one or both of the other pieces to use it as either a shelter (with one side staked to the ground) or as an umbrella. The pins for the anchor are attached with string so you can’t lose them, but one of the strings was tied too short for the pin to come out and had to be untied and redone. The carry/storage bags seem decent quality and everything fits back into them pretty easily. When packed up, the umbrella is on the long side, stretching across basically the whole back seat of a 2004 Chevy Equinox. I like that the print is beachy without being in your face and the colors blend into a natural setting. The design looks welcoming and is easy to identify from a distance, and it’s convenient to have the versatility of using it as either a shelter or an umbrella.

   I took this out in moderate wind and was immediately afraid it would bend or snap. I think it’s too large and not strong enough for a beach day. I returned it immediately.
