Beach Tent, Beach Canopy Sun Shade with UPF50+ UV Protection, 10x10ft, Includes 8 Sandbags, Sand Shovel, Ground Pegs & 4 Stability Poles, Pop Up Sun Shelter for Camping, Picnics, Backyard Fun

The media could not be loaded. Have used the tent twice now. One day was very calm winds and one day was very strong winds. I am impressed by this tent. I can't speak to how durable it will be yet, but so far so good. WOULD LOVE TO REVIEW LARGER VERSION.Set up:Set up is very simple. There are many videos that show best practices, but here is the basics. Stretch it out on the beach. If it is windy, fill one corner full of sand and then the opposite corner, etc. Stretch them all out so there is decent tension. Once all the bags are filled, cover with sand. Then insert the poles under the tension of the cover. You want to try to face it into the wind, but even when the wind changed direction we didn't have any problems.Day 1 (little wind)Not much to talk about, provided nice shade. Easy setup and take down. Light. Was enough for 4 adults to sit under. You could fit more if squish or have small children. Very comfortable day.Day 2 (12-13 mph winds). I was at Light House Beach in Hatteras on May 27 (see video) so you can look up historical winds to see if I am BS'ing. It was very windy during set up, but I thought let's try it and see how it does. Was very pleased. During setup the whole thing flew up so we had to fill up one bag to anchor and then the other bags. The difference in setup from the non windy days was that we set the poles at an angle. You have to set a slight bigger opening into the wind and brace the poles into the wind / <---. The other side we set slightly lower. It took some adjusting to get the 'flappiness' down, but finally got it good enough. Was impressed as it got hit by gusts that it didn't budge. The bungees also did NOT pop off which was also nice. Made it comfortable for all of us. Finally had to leave because the wind picked up enough that sand was starting to pelt everyone.Final thoughts:I was impressed, would like to review something larger for groups of 6-8 to see how it does. Again, this is only two uses in, we'll see how durable it ends up being. That said, if you are buying for a few uses on a vacation, I would recommend. Will try to update at end of trip.

I admit I'm that obnoxious person who usually won't write Amazon reviews, but will always read them before making a purchase. But in the case of this Vibemo Beach Tent, I'm inspired to spread the word about how great this tent is!Most of the other reviews have covered the main positive features of this 10 x 10 tent that gives ample protection for at least six beachgoers, along with keeping your cooler out of direct sun. But here's my two cents. We just returned from a week in Anna Maria Island, FL and set up the tent at least five times. By the third time, we were set-up experts and got the tent in place in under four minutes. It's key to roll out the tent fully, fill the eight bags with sand, THEN position the poles under the tent. I'm no engineer, but even this 70-year-old woman who made a D in high school physics figured out how to adjust the angle of the poles to compensate for the direction and strength of the wind. The instructions suggested digging holes for each of the sandbags, but we found it just as effective to throw more sand on top of the bags after filling them rather than trying to dig holes for each of the eight bags. The eight-bag feature really adds to the stability of the tent and anchors it against the wind. A couple of other reviews stated the tent didn't withstand moderate wind speeds, but we didn't find that to be a problem for us.I support so many other reviewers in the praise of ample sun coverage of the tent, the compact and lightweight storage bag, along with easy set up and take down.By the end of the week, our tent still have the Gulf Coast, sugar-fine sand embedded in the fabric of the tent no matter how diligently we tried to shake that sand out before packing it away. I thought the instructions were a little vague on care/washing of the tent, but when I returned home, I took a chance and washed the tent in my washing machine on delicate with just a small amount mild laundry detergent. To dry, I spread the tent out in the grass in my back yard. This washing/drying procedure worked beautifully and I packed away a clean, sand-free tent.Obviously, I don't the lifespan of this tent long term, but I'm sure it will hold up for several years for our bi-annual trips to the beach. I was looking for a good, reliable, easy to use beach canopy priced around $100, and with this one currently on sale 50% off, I recommend you jump on this deal if you are in the market for a great beach tent!

We used this for the first time yesterday. The material is lightweight as expected. It was easy to put up. Compared to our normal canopy that we put up, it was much easier to transport to the beach. Not heavy and easy to carry. There were just two of us yesterday, but could comfortably fit three if you don't have a lot of coolers or beach bags. We did have to adjust it several times as the wind shifted to avoid collapse. We bravely left it for 45 minutes to walk up and grab a sandwich, came back to it collapsing. The major con is that we got roasted in the sun. We kept sunblock on and still got burned substantially. It was a UV index of 11 here part of the time. This is rated UPF50+ which is a good rating, but it's almost see-through so I do question the accuracy of that. It's decent and I'd buy again, but beware it's not going to block the UV rays as well as other options.
