Red Suricata Family Beach Sunshade - Sun Shade Canopy | UPF50 UV Protection | Tent with 4 Aluminum Poles, 4 Pole Anchors, 4 Sandbag Anchors | Large & Portable Shelter Tarp

So being the guy who is usually responsible for setting up all of the “beach stuff” before everyone actually goes out to start the day, I have finally found an answer to getting time to enjoy the beach myself. Years of hauling bulky and heavy “pop up tents” (that always break) always gave me trouble trying to set up and on top of that having to haul tent leg weights down to the beach to keep the tent from blowing away was always a pain as well. This summer I wanted to change up the dreaded beach setup routine. And change it I did. I found this product and although it looks a little too simple to be real sturdy, it held up perfectly and was the easiest setup I’ve ever done. The first day it took me 10-15 minutes to figure out the best way to set it up and remain sturdy, then from that day on it took me 5 minutes to set it up every day after. Breakdown is a breeze as well. The shade provided was perfect as it can fit 4-6 beach chairs easy. It also had its share of wind running through it. I wouldn’t recommend on a severely windy day, bit was impressed howWell it did with a good 15-20 mph ocean breeze. Since we had a large group I actually purchased 2 and we set them up sided by side. I had a whole bunch of people walk by and could here them say, “oh that’s a nice setup.” Yes it was... no more struggling with metal tent frames that ALWAYS bend and break. The tear down at the end of a tireing day was a snap! Just one word of advice, after several days of use check the plastic balls on the top of the aluminum support poles, as they are screwed on and can loosen, I had one fall off (luckily I found it in the sand) but tightening these every few days is not a bad idea. If you happen to lose the plastic balls the support pole will rip through your canopy fabric if you don’t realize it fell off. (Problem can also be solved with a drop of blue locktite). Thank you for the owner of the company reaching out to me personally to see how I enjoyed the product, it is truly a great idea and fabricated well.

So, Pro's and Con'sPro:1. Easy to set up, takes about 5 mins if you're by yourself while using the tent stakes or maybe 10-15min.s if you're at the beach and using sand to weight the corners down.2. Pop-up poles are awesome to work with since you can fold them for easy carry and the bottom end is pointed so you can drive it down the ground and not worry about getting sand inside it. Also, the top part has a rubber ball kind of, to prevent tearing on the material.3. The cloth/tarp is made out of spandex material so its breathable and stretchable. While it does provide shade, it does not totally block out the sun. It's a whole lot comfortable underneath it though rather than baking under the sun.4. I love how they provided tent stakes so in the event that you're not at the beach and you don't have sand to fill your corner bags, you can stake it down and still secure it.Con's:I can't see any as of now, I have had it for about a 3 weeks now and only used it once. The product itself does not seem cheap and looks and feels solid. The poles and stakes are made out of aluminum so its strong and light and does not rust and corrode. I will post an updated review after a year and see how it holds up. For the meantime I'm pretty impressed and happy with my purchase. I hope this review helped you. Thanks for reading!

Great product. The shade provided was big enough to fit 6 adults in chairs and a few kids playing in the sand - all within the shaded area, whether in the morning or middle of the afternoon.This is so much lighter and easier to bring to the beach than other large shade canopies.Set up was very easy. I could do it alone with no problem - simply fill the sand bags, stretch it out, then place the poles in the corner.Having 4 poles was great - only using 2 poles would have allowed the covering to move in the wind more, which would have reduced space for sitting comfortably.It held up without any problem in the wind, while one of our cheap beach umbrellas kept blowing away.We used it every day, almost all day long, for a week on the beach and it looks like it will last several more beach trips without a problem.There were only a few minor drawbacks. I wish it were taller, but this is about as tall as any similar products available. The material does allow some sun through - enough that you can still see shadows - so it limits, but does not block, the sun exposure. The balls on the poles are rather small and cause a lot of stretch in the material at the points where the poles are placed. It didn't seem to be in danger of tearing, but I still may place a foam ball or tennis ball over the plastic ball to help spread the pressure.
