 this shade tent is the best August 8, 2006

We bought this tent to travel with our newborn to the beach and it is amazing. the setup is quick and we are the envy of all beachgoers. It is lightweight and well constructed. I highly recommend this to all who desire shade and comfort.
Easy to use. MUST HAVE for children. October 18, 2007

We got this for our Hawaii vacation. It is extremely easy to set up. It takes two people: one to hold the fabric and the other to guide in the poles (2 separate poles). We did a practice run in the living before our trip to make sure we knew how it was done. On the beach, it only took 5 mins to assemble and 5 mins to take down. It provides excellent shade protection for babies, children, and adults. The fabric floor also helps minimize sitting in sand. We got a medium and it was plenty of space for 3 adults and a baby. It packs down into a nice size case of its own. On the plane it can be checked into a large suitcase. We'll use this again and again for afternoons at the beach and the park all summer long.
Large version was perfect. July 16, 2009

Purchased the large version and thought it might be too big. Amazon didn't have the medium version available for Prime shipping.
The large was perfect for Newport Beach where there is so much beach it never really got totally crowded where people were laying out in 2 or 3 rows of people like on smaller beaches. This means, everyone that was there sat right along the shoreline so the large tent really didn't stick out. At a smaller beach, I'd probably not use this tent since it would probably be an eyesore and keep some people from seeing the beach.
We used it 3 days in a row, all day from morning to night. The wind picked up pretty well towards the late afternoon and it stayed put. I HIGHLY recommend filling the sand bags with damp/wet sand (heavier) and digging a decent 1 to 1.5 foot deep whole to bury the bags in. Even consider mounding sand on top of the spot if the wind picks up. I also staked down the front corners with fairly long plastic stakes (Not included. It includes skinny metal stakes.) Whether the windows were open or not, it stayed down nicely.
It does need quite a bit of fiddling to get the stakes through without tearing anything. But, if you are patient you'll have no problem even in the wind. Some people suggest using a ziplock bag when filling the sandbags to make cleanup easier. I did this every time and it seemed OK for cleanup but maybe not a huge difference. It possibly made filling the sandbags a little easier since the bags sort of acted like a funnel while I put a some of the ziplock into the sandbag and the sand funneled in (hard to describe, you'll see).
In the end of our trip, it survived the wind, kids, sitting in chairs inside of it and general wear-n-tear. No apparent holes or rips. Nice.
I'd consider the small or medium for smaller beaches and shorter visits. It took me a good 15+ minutes to set the large up by myself with light/med. wind. But, that included filling all 4 bags, digging 4 decent holes, filling the holes, setting up tent poles (push, don't pull) and properly staking down the corners. I'd still probably stick to a standard beach umbrella for shorter trips to smaller beaches so I minimize setup time and also don't annoy people behind me when I arrive by blocking their view.
great beach shelter October 10, 2007

We took this on our beach vacation. It was so windy that even after up, the wind was blowing sand through the mesh windows. Yet, the tent stayed up, although it was a bit flattened on one side by the constant wind. we put wet sand in the pouch anchors and they were buried.
I recommend setting this up at home initially. Just to see how it works. It's much easier to put up at home then it is at the beach while trying to keep it and the parts and directions from blowing away and keeping track of children.
So far, so good! July 27, 2007

We've only used this once and actually used it more as a rain/wind shelter at Lake Michigan/Sleeping Bear Dunes. It is not difficult to set up with 2 adults and worked well for us. It is also lightweight. We look forward to using this on our upcoming trip to Nags Head, NC.
