G4Free Large Pop up Beach Tent for 3-4 Person, UPF 50+ Automatic Sun Shelter Canopy Portable Outdoor Cabana Sun Umbrella

We wanted a beach tent but wanted something that wasn’t hard to set up. This one literally pops up. The stakes are also super easy to put it. Disassembling is easy too. It takes me 5 minutes to put it up and take it down. Very durable as well and holds up to kids going in and out. It’s also extremely lightweight and compact so easy to transport to the beach and back to the car. At the beach or pool it does provide wonderful shade from the sun but if it’s hot, it stays hot. We got a fan to keep cool and this keeps the sun off us. Definitely recommend and I’m super happy with this purchase and a great price. I’ll update if it doesn’t last through summer but so far so good!

We used this tent everyday on the beach for two weeks. It held up great in the wind and protected us from the sun. The pop-up feature makes it quick to set-up and take down. Folding it for storage takes a little practice, but once you figure it out, it's a breeze. Suggest practicing setting-up and taking down before first use.

We got this tent for the beach and it serves its job well. It was a sturdy tent, and includes enough anchors AND staked rope to make it hold up to almost any wind we faced, and we did face some. The stakes can be challenging to get into sand that may have shells in it, we almost bent one, but if you find a good spot it goes in okay. The only trouble I had was I was unable to effectively fold this thing back up into its small carry case. Yes, there is an attached instruction set to the bag, AND a separate instruction page included. I thought it was odd at first that the instructions only show how to pack it up, and not how to assemble it. But assembly is straightforward, as it almost pops into shape. Putting it back is a battle against that urge to pop back open, and folding and turning it endlessly isn't intuitive. In the end I folded it a few times and shoved it in its case like a hot mess.

The tent is easy to set up. Since it is lightweight, I struggled a bit to take it down because the wind made it difficult for the cover to stay inside the tent during the process, but that's not a problem. Two points that disappointed me were that although it has a ventilation net, the airflow is low, making it stuffy, and that only two adults fit comfortably (I am 5’5’’ tall and weigh 132 libras). Ps: Movie with 0.5x on Iphone.

This tent is absolutely worth the money! I was protesting carrying ANYTHING to the beach after years of having to help other people carry all their things. I was OVER it this year and decided to get this(along with a backpack cooler) and it GREATLY improved the dreaded walk from the beach back to the car after a long day. It took me a second to figure out how to fold it up, but after a few times of practice I got it down! Did great at the beach, and was spacious. Could absolutely fit a smaller family of 3 with room for cooler. Could squeeze if two adults and two small children. Its so light and easy to carry. May be easier to set up with two if its a windy day, but still doable with one as long as you have something relatively heave like a cooler to hold it down while you fill the sandbags.

If I could give this less than 1 star I would. I never write product reviews, but this one really got me upset so I wanted to share my review. We purchased this for our first family beach trip with our 5 month old. I read the reviews and they easily convinced me this was what we were looking for. Well I was totally wrong. Let me first say we never take an umbrella or tent with us to the beach, but having a 5 month old something of the sort was a must have. My husband insisted we get an umbrella, but you always see them flying across the beach with the wind, so that was one reason I thought this tent would work well. This tent is super flimsy, super thin and comes with no way to keep the beach breeze from blowing it away. With 2 people trying to put this up it was still impossible! (And we even practiced in our living room before we went!) This alone almost ruined our beach trip. Thank gosh the beach we were visiting had beach umbrellas we could rent.

We loved having this tent to protect our baby from the sun on our recent beach vacation. While large enough to cover two adults and baby, the tent is great in that when folded it fits in checked baggage. Its light weight and easy to carry to and from the beach and is super easy to set up as it literally opens itself once out of the bag. As far as storing back in the bag, you will need to spend a few minutes studying the poorly written directions (but decent pictures) to learn how to fold, but once you understand the process it's pretty easy. The stakes included with the tent are small and do not stand up to much wind. We had to use beach gear (cooler, bags) to keep the tent from blowing away. We plan to bring larger stakes from our camping tent next time we use it.

I took this on a beach vacation, and it really came in handy. It was packable in a large suitcase, easy to set up, and I was able to successfully take it down and fit it into the carrying bag every time I tried. It didn't always fold perfectly, but it fit in the bag even if it didn't look neat. I was drunk when it looked lumpy, so I might share in the blame. Just watch the video, and you'll be fine. When the wind blew super hard, the tent started to fold, but it came with sand bags to fill and bury in the sand, so guy wires had something to tie to since stakes don't work on the beach. 2 guy wires stopped it from folding. The base was always secure because there are sand bags attached to the base, and they're are easily filled and buried. I didn't get burned because of this shelter, and that's all I really cared about.
