Sun Ninja Beach Tent Sun Shelter UPF50+ - Easy Pop Up Beach Canopy - Outdoor Shade for Camping Trips, Fishing, Backyard Fun Picnics - Sand Shovel, Ground Pegs & Stability Poles

This is our third summer using the 7x7.5 sun ninja with 66” poles.Best and easiest sun shelter for the beach we’ve ever used!I bought a larger scoop which makes a big difference. My husband puts the poles together (I hate the sound of sand against the metal connections) while I fill the bags and stretch out the canopy. It takes us about the same amount of time.This shelter is up in probably 4 minutes tops! I’m going to time myself next time and report back! 🤣Only regret is we didn’t get the longer poles. At 5’2” I can easily stand under but my husband cannot. Not that he really needs to stand underneath it anyway.If we were to do it again we might get the larger size so we wouldn’t have to move as the sun sets, but it’s no big deal and is a good size for 2 people.

So much easier to handle than our metal framed canopy--no more sore back to just get it to the beach. It's light weight and packs away into small duffle. It works well on a normal Atlantic ocean beach day, if the wind picks up, then even with bags full of sand, you are at risk of it coming down (yes, I followed the instructions). My metal framed canopy handled the exact same wind without issue. Mine was on sale so it was a little less cost than our other canopy. Hopefully, we will get a few years service out of it. (For comparison, we are at 13yrs with our metal framed canopy.)

Best beach purchase ever!! I use it every time I go to the beach, which is usually at least 3 times a year. It’s easy to set up, but does take time to fill the corners up with sand - have your kiddos help which can make it fun. I’ve had it for 3 years with really no major issues, one of the poles gets stuck sometimes and won’t close all the way in one spot and if it does it’s really hard to collapse, but otherwise it’s still like new!

I’m giving this four out of five simply because I’ve used this only one time so I can’t say anything about longevity. However, I learned fairly quickly the key to windy conditions is all about pole placement and a lot of sand in the bags. This is literally a sail and if you place your poles closer towards the edge of the fabric and with a lot of weight from the sand you can allow the wind to work for you. You also don’t need all four poles in gusty conditions. We had two working in the front facing the wind and the wind did the rest lifting the back of the tent parachute style. Now if this material deteriorates then all bets are off. Fingers crossed. 😎

10/10 recommend! Incredibly easy to put up, extremely light and was not a burden to lug back and forth to the beach. Withstood the wind at the beach all day. Great sun protection for adults and littles. Provided ample shade and kept us cool and didn’t get sun burnt. Good quality and looks great!!

Fantastic purchase. Used it on on extremely windy day at the coast in Port A in Texas. No issues. Make sure to read the instructions and use the elastic bands on top of the poles. Also make sure to stretch the sandbags far apart to prevent future stretching that could cause the poles to fall.

Such a great purchase for the beach! Of course you have to fill the sand bags but once it’s up you don’t have to worry about it coming down with wind at the beach! The pole in the middle is functional and good quality! It’s allows the ceiling to be high enough to stand or sit under! My favorite part is the compact of carrying when it is taken down!

Things I like:1. The footprint is giant so you have a lot of space around you.2. Easy to set up.3. Light to carry4. My partner and I can lay together on a blanket without a pole between us.Things I don't like:1. You can still get burned under this thing and it is hot. The material does not block out all of the Sun. Definitely hotter than under an umbrella.2. I live in a really windy area and it doesn't hold up so well in high winds.3. Doesn't work in the rain.I'm glad I bought it. We bring it to the beach all the time, but sometimes it is not the perfect option. I do wish it was a little less hot under the shade of the material.
