Using this for the first time at a baseball game. 40 degrees out and super windy. This tent is a game changer. My husband and daughter were even able to take off coats and sit comfortably because the wind was gone and sun warmed it up in it. Everyone else is bundled in blankets and coats and wind whipping. Would definitely recommend and already have!

I was looking for a hardcore lightweight tent for 10 day river fishing expeditions and this tent got er done. Easy to set up, lots of room, packs small and light. Shedded extensive rain. A few design overlooks in my view: no gear pockets inside; vestibules are small and fly door must be fully closed to prevent rain from hitting tent, which prevent airing out if you have to pack it wet; fly zipper has several velcro closures which in my view are overkill and prevent you from unzipping fly with one hand if you’re in a hurry to ditch gear inside in the rain. For these reasons I rated it 4 stars.

Picked this up during the Prime day sale. This is a fantastic beach cabana for the price. Comparable products can go over a hundred bucks, so this is great if you're on a budget. It's not heavy, it's easy to set up without help, and it can sit two people comfortably, although I use it for a solo cabana. Provides tons of shade, especially with the side panel. I dig a hole for the main pole so it's buried a bit deeper, I secure the legs with the metal stakes, and it's held up well in the wind so far. Like others, the two parts of the main pole are now stuck together after the first use. Twisting it down into the sand forced a lot sand up inside the center. This is the one con I can think of: having to bang tons of sand from out of the bottom of the pole when you're taking it down to put away.

Got it for my next camping trip, ease of set up. seems to be well made and stable, forgot to take pic after I unpacked it, but it folds up nicely in this little bag, pretty compact.

I purchased this tent based on the claim that it keeps more light out and for the long rainfly. It does both of these things. It is pictured (right) next to my Coleman Sundome (left) tent purchased two years prior. Both are about the same size, but the skydome does have the superior darkness and a larger rainfly. Size and setup time are about the same.

Absolutely impressed this tent Setup was a breeze, and I managed to do it in just 5-6 minutes all by myself. I even set it up in my backyard for testing before our camping trip. Though I haven't tried it in rainy weather yet, it's incredibly spacious for our group of four. The ventilation from the large mesh windows kept us comfortable. Waiting for our next camping trip, looking forward to using it! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a durable, easy-to-use tent for a group of four!

Works very well held up in the thick snow. The picture of the next morning with it sagging is only because I didn’t sleep in it that night with the stove going the snow would’ve never settled on it. It’s got plenty of room for two people.

Had it for a year now and it has held up fine, zippers are good and no leaks. Only giving four stars because I don't feel confident it will keep me dry if I was in some bad weather. This due to the low tub floor. It may just be me because I have not had it in heavy downpours but it is something I consider if I am taking this. But again no issues, its decently light and I can fit my dog in there too if needed. Holds up well to wind but I do try to chose my sites well.

This beats my red sport umbrella hands down. Light weight easy to put up. I purchased this as used in December 2020 for $87. After looking at all the different manufacturers and prices all over the board I realized all are made of Lycra. Some have cords for the sandbags some use Lycra. So why spend $160 vs $87 or $119 (current price). Bottom line this works. We had 15 to 20 mph wind and it held up. The first day I stretched it and it-was flapping slightly in the wind. I was afraid I would rip it if I stretched it further. Next day I REALLY STRETCHED IT. And it didn’t flap in the wind. Make sure you fill the bags to the max. Even fully filled the bags will move inward when you install the poles. Grab the TOP section of the poles not the middle or the bottom to prevent breaking or bending the pole and place 1-1 1/2 ft. from the corner. Then push the poles vertical. Easy for one person to put up. I found it easier to install the bungee around the ball when the pole was chest high and then put the pole vertical. I was concerned about sun protection since you could see the clouds thru the canopy. My wife didn’t use sunscreen the entire week and got a light tan. So yes it provides sun protection. This is lighter than my red sportbrella and easily fit 6-8 people comfortably. I also measured the distance between the poles when erected. I purchased the 10x9 model and the poles were 11ft apart on the long side and 8 1/2 ft on the short side. You can also install on grass using tent stakes or concrete using bricks,rocks or anything heavy. My poles were sturdy so I don’t know how people break them. Probably holding the bottom or middle when installing. Why carry a 40 pound large bulky pop up that needs at least 2 people to set up? Did not have any rain so I cannot comment on waterproof. I know it’s not completely waterproof but how much will be revealed in future usage. Only downfall I have found. Some of my wife’s purses are larger than the carrying bag for the Umardoo! I also prefer the bungee cord design vs the all Lycra new design. I hope this review is helpful for people on the fence about purchasing one. A lot of people stopped by and asked about it, took pictures of the Umardoo logo to purchase from whatcampingtent.com. You can spend a little or spend a lot for the same sun shelter. You decide. Would buy again definitely.

I am very satisfied with this product after all I had some misunderstandings with receiving some items that got shipped separately. But I am very pleased with customer service and the item.

This is an interesting approach to creating a tent footprint: cut off a chunk of Tyvek House Wrap, add four grommets and sell it as a footprint. It's so crazy it just might work. I started camping back in the days when you either got your gear at Army/Navy Surplus or you made your own. This footprint reminds me of those days. This is literally a chunk of Tyvek House Wrap usually used for underlayment on house construction. It's light, sturdy, waterproof and fairly inexpensive. Cut down to size for a two-person tent it makes an effective ground cover. I tested the waterproof claim by pooling water on it for 24 hours with zero leak-through. I also tried to puncture it by placing it on ground with sticks and rocks and then stomping all over it very un-gently in my hiking boots. No splits, tears or punctures. On the plus side, it's very light weight but has enough body to make it easy to lay out even in a wind. It's tough. You won't puncture it on sharp rocks. It's not fireproof, but it doesn't burn when exposed to open flame. It melts ( I tried it). And, as mentioned, it's completely waterproof. There are a couple of negatives: It seems pretty expensive for what it is. A similar, but solo size on another whatcampingtent.com page costs $13. If you know a builder you can probably get a chunk of the stuff for a few bucks. And it's noisy. If you roll around a lot at night you will hear it grumbling under you. Not a big deal unless you're a light sleeper to start with. Bottom line: a simple, effective, but fairly expensive way to get some additional protection for the underside of your tent, come rain or shine.

Withstood four days of heavy rain and wind gusts over 45mph! No leaks, no condensation. However two days after that, I awoke to the weight of the roof laying on my back!! Seems it has developed a slow leak, it starts to Sag after one hour and five mins later it's deflated. This has been going on for three days now. I'm homeless, living off grid for past 3 years. I have a 10x6.5 ' similar style tent that I just moved back into. Video shows how it performed in the storm; 2nd photo shows it sagging(the top of both ends have been tied to a tree so it's not completely laying on the ground, last photo is of my old tent, I had to move back into today(2/19 -2/20 ten inches of snow is expected. 2pm now and WOW it's coming down here in Virginia

I ordered a 12x12.. it definitely met my expectations in terms of size… I use it on a windy day at the beach the sand bags provide help to keep it stabilized along with a nearby tree

This beach umbrella with the adjustable universal clamp was the real MVP at the zoo! I clamped it right onto our wagon, and let me tell you—it was so easy to set up, even with all the chaos of getting everyone ready. The clamp held on tight the whole time, no slipping or wobbling, which was perfect for keeping my baby cousin shaded and happy. She was loving life under her little portable shade, and everyone kept stopping to ask where I got it! Shipping was crazy fast, so I had it in time for our trip with no stress. If you need portable shade that’s easy, sturdy, and a total lifesaver on sunny outings, this is the one.

Easy to set up and take down. Did good with staying in place most of the day but anchors came out with high winds so I put grocery bags filled with sand in the pockets and it worked out great. Really Iike that it has these inner pockets on each of the side flaps. If you are someone that needs more air circulation to stay cool these probably would not be recommended during peak heat hours, but I was fine with the vents open on each side.
