Pretty good size, easy to setup, good price.
Selected this as an option for holding down water line temporarily. Ordered the 100 pack and indeed received 100 at a wire thickness of 5mm. The length of the wire itself may be a bit over 9", but the seller description and image is somewhat incorrect. The stake length is closer to 8.5" (see image).
I like how big it is and how easy it was to setup. The material feels kinda cheap so becareful not to rip it.
The mini shibumi is a great alternative to an umbrella. It is very lightweight with a quick setup. The mini can provide shade for 2 people. There does need to be a breeze for it to work but they sell a wind assist attachment. I haven't needed to purchase that yet. It's expensive but so much easier than hauling an umbrella. The expense will be worth it if it lasts.
I bought one of these for my tent to help protect the floor. It was a good investment. During my canoeing/camping trip it it protected the bottom of the tent from sticks, rocks, and other issues. It stopped moisture from seeping up through the ground. It fit perfectly with my tent, there were no issues. The only time it was slightly problematic was during a big storm. It gathered water along the edges and built up puddles. Not ideal, but it happens in rain.
We have used the tent 3 days at the ocean. We are happy with the space underneath without a center pole. A few things we learned: You need to fill the sand bags more than you think. One windy day we even buried the bags completely in sand which held great when other tents were blowing around. We angled all the poles slightly inward which helped brace it more. The more you stretch it the better it seems to resist the wind. You can fit full height chairs, all the photos I’ve seen had low chairs or blankets so I was worried the height would be a problem.
Bought this based on other user reviews. I was very nervous about buying it, but the specs and look told me that it would be great. Just went camping in Yosemite for 2 days and found that it worked great. It was solid and easily fit around the picnic tables with 2 feet to spare on even the longest ends. See included pictures. It was easy to put together and pack up. It was awesome to be able to sit there with thousands of bugs around me outside of the tent and yet have very little bugs in my face. I hardly wanted to leave the confines of the tent. For awhile, the sun hit the tent directly and there was no wind. I baked in there and it was miserable. The mesh held the heat until a light breeze came through. So don't look at the whole thing as a 100% protection from sun either. My other negative points are as follows: From the top to the first magnet, there was a 1 inch gap that let it bugs on a somewhat regular basis. Wish there were a way to fix that. Bugs land on the screen and start crawling and then they reach the crack and come right in. After leaving for a day, there were probably 50-6- small flying bugs buzzing around under the canopy. So my first tip when getting this thing is to have a bug spray with you. You'll spray all over the under canopy to kill all the bugs, let them drop and enjoy the bug free space again. The other problem I had was with the uneven floor leaving gaps under the tent walls for bugs to get in. Having mentioned all these negatives, I would buy this tent again without hesitation. It is strong, held off 98% of the bugs and was so easy to get in and out of with the magnet enclosures. Update 8/11 I went back and read some recent reviews. I want to comment on some of their points 1) You could do the setup with 1 person, but it's risky. The tent poles are strong, but I wouldn't say they were so strong as to sustain heavy pressure while waiting for you to run around and adjust the test and poles as it's coming up. I suspect that some people do try to do it as a 1 person job. I'm confident that this would be the cause of 70% of the damage in setting this thing up. I'm a big strong guy and I admit that this tent demands a minimum of 2 people to setup so as not to apply excessive pressure on the poles cuz they do bend when the other 3 sides are awaiting for their poles. Even if you insert all the poles while the tent is on it's side and then tilt it up, I can see that the odds of breaking a pole or permanently bending one is pretty moderate.. See the pictures of my original post and you'll see that 1 -2 of them have a slight bend. But that's because the tent was on a slanted foundation so the whole tent was wanting to tilt backwards. The same is true about breaking down the tent. Get careless and your bound to break something. The tent box/bag it came in was already quite big. I think it's crazy to demand solid poles or the weight of the whole kit would be unmanageable. I think the whole kit is a good even balance of function and weight. 2) Stability - There are long strings that one is supposed to use to stability the tent on each corner in wind. I didn't set them up cuz we didn't have much mind. But I can see that it would be dumb not to use them. Again, from the pictures and comments of others on their reviews, it seems like they didn't make the effort to use the included support lines. 3) Bugs - I admittedly was surprised to see some bugs get in cuz I wanted a bug free environment. but, I think some people can too bent out of shape by even seeing a few since they did spend the money to buy this thing. I think a 100% bug free environment is unrealistic. You need to bring a can of Raid or bug spray to "refresh" /cleanup the number of bugs flying around every so often. The way I see it, there are so few bugs in the tent that when even of a few get in, it's extremely noticeable. If you want a bug free environment, stay in the car or your home. This is a great solution for the outdoors to greatly reduce bugs landing on you. This is not a miracle tent for "bug -free" I don't think any tent can be that. 4) I think the top part of the magnet closure is a real problem for me. The top 6-8 inches really doesn't close well and there is no solution. Some people suggest not setting the tent so tight so as to cause the pull that opens this gap. I would argue against that solution because I didn't do anything to "over-tighten" the tent and it still had the gap. It's so tight in that area that I don't even know if additional agents would help. The more I think about it, I think the only solution is to bring safety pins to close that part and deal with a lower entry or to sew that section closed. The magnets would have been nicer if they were 25-35% bigger. They are big enough to work and once you close the top one, the rest fall into place like an imaginary zipper is closing. So that's cool. But nearly every time you leave the tent, you have to pause and close that top magnet to get it to self seal. I feel that if the magnets were bigger and heaver, the tent would auto-seal without needing initial help to close. maybe if that first could of magnets were 40% bigger might solve the whole problem. Hmm, I think I'll mcgyver me a solution and try this myself. I don't work for this company, but I think there are lot of overly demanding customers that are expecting too much from this thing and rather than taking responsibility for their product abuse, are trying to poo poo a product that doesn't deserve the ridicule it's been getting.
Can’t wait to use this great tent this summer to get away from the bugs and still enjoy the outdoors! Very easy to setup and put away and big enough for the whole family to use!!
This product is perfect! The 8 sandbags hold the cabana down great on the beach. Set up is super easy. The bag is light for carrying.
Fácil de armar y desarmar, pero si traspaso la lluvia por los lados e hizo que se mojaran mis almohadas y cobijas.
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.
I got this before my vacation and it worked great 😊 very sturdy construction and heavier than expected but not a problem
It's about the time to enjoy some outdoor activities! Can't wait to have this tent set up on the beach. It came with a handy bag that holds all parts together and great balance of sturdiness and weight. As a 5-1 skinny woman, I can easily carry the whole package with me. The weight is Much better than I was looking for. Having the Instruction sew on the bag is quite thoughtful. No need to worry losing it over time.
My family and I went tent camping July 5-9th 2021. The same week Hurricane Elsa decided to grace Florida with her presence. It was a wild and WET week....outside the tent. Inside the tent it was dry as a bone! Not 1 leak the entire week! This stuff really REALLY works. I bought the concentrated bottle and mixed it myself. Our tent was 14x14 and we applied 1 full coat to the tent and rain fly. I still have ½ a bottle left. I put the solution in a spray bottle, stayed it on let sit for a few mins then wiped it into the tent with a rag. Took an hour to fully dry in the FL sun so it's not an all day task. I highly recommend this product!
This baby pop up fun shade is awesome! Very nicely constructed with lots of options. The bottom of the sun shade zips onto the rest of the pop up. If you set it up in sand, you can carve out a little area under the bottom and then add water to the bottom of the sun shade for baby to splash around it. Otherwise, it creates a perfect set up for baby to play or sleep in. Great quality, comes with a few toys and a small pocket to keep them in. I set it up on a very windy day and staked it in the grass which worked perfectly. When you are ready to go, the shade folds down easily and very compactly so you can take it anywhere. Perfect place to get out of sun and have a clean place for baby to play. Every kid loves having their own fort. Definitely recommend.
