Topnaca Lightweight Camping Tarp Shelter Beach Tent Sun Shade Awning Canopy with Tarp Poles, Portable Waterproof Sun-Proof 204.7x181 in/157.5x137.8 in for Hiking Fishing Picnic

Update ** 6-25-16I just returned from my trip to WV with just me and my dog. I can't believe that I camped beside the Williams river in the worst storms in Wv in the last 70 years ! This tent went above and beyond my expectations ! It never leaked even though it rained all 6 days ! The wind was up around 70 miles an hour and my tent sat in at least 3 inches of water at some points . One night my tent was bent sideways because of the severe winds and as soon as the wind slowed it popped right back to its original shape . The only water that made it into the tent and that was very little , was from splashing off the puddles and bouncing into the bottom from under the rain fly . I will post a few pics and a video to show just how great this tent really is. It also got several complements from other campers as they passed by on the trail . Ghosts always a bonus when a tent makes you look like a pro to other hardcore hikers/campers 100% best tent I have ever used in bad weather .Prayers for all in WV that have lost everything due to the severe storms and flash flooding .I received my tent today and couldn't be more excited. It arrived quickly and so far it has been everything I was expecting . It was easy to set up and take down and very well put together . You can tell from the quality that it will hold up great in even the worst weather. I will be going on a camping trip soon with my dog and my two older kids (16&14) and we will put this tent to the test . I will update how our trip went when I return. All and all this tent is light Easy to put up and it looks greet too. The little things matter and this comes with stakes that have a point so they slide right into the ground . The seams are all sealed and strong and it is very well ventilated. I will update as soon as we get back !

It was a little difficult to set up, but no worse than other sorts of shade tents, and it does provide a nice, big, shaded area. I also purchased 2 extra poles that collapsed to ~2-foot lengths, and some sturdier ground pegs.The whole package is light weight and easy to carry in the provided bag. The carry bag is big enough to hold the native contents as well as a hammer, the 2 extra collapsable poles, and the extra pegs. The ground pegs that came with it are soft aluminum, OK for soil, but no good for hard-pan. I haven't tried them on sand yet, but I suspect they are too short to work well in dry beach sand, especially with wind. The tie-down ropes come in 2 different lengths: 2 pairs of longer ropes that work with poles, and 6 pairs of shorter ropes for direct tarp-to-ground connections. The poles that came with it are OK; they have flat bottoms, and could use a larger rubber foot than they have; for sand I might want a very wide foot, something like the snow feet you can get for hiking sticks. The tarp is very light and casts a nice shade. It does shed water, and, like any tent, water collects in any low/loose spot in the canopy. When we first unfolded the tarp, I took photos at each step - those photos were very handy guides when we folded it up again!I've attached 2 photos, one using 4 poles for support, the other is what I call the garden-stake configuration. The 4-poles set up wasn't open enough for my intended purpose, so I added tall shepherd hook garden stakes to prop up the corners and a curved-top garden trellis to prop up the middle, which opened the space to what I was hoping for. The garden-stake configuration was up during a pretty wild and windy thunderstorm: the wind lifted some the tarp's tie-down loops off the ends of their shepherd's hooks, and the central garden trellis fell over, but the poles stayed up OK and kept the tent up. Next time, I'll figure out a way to secure the loops so they can't lift off the end of the hooks.Over all, I am glad I got this, and I'm looking forward to using it again.

Used this for shade and rain protection at the 2017 Summercamp Music Festival. This thing was easy to set up and held in 40 MPH winds during a severe thunderstorm (though I did upgrade the stakes, and I recommend that you do, as well).One of my steel poles folded due to fat and drunk hippy tripping over a guy line and diving into it with his shoulder, so I ditched the folded piece and re-tensioned the lines and it was all good. gave it a good slope that allowed for more wind and rain protection.Not a single drop of rain leaked through the material or seams.I am extremely pleased with this fly and I highly recommend it, but definitely upgrade your stakes, as I do with every tent that I buy.

I have to say that I am impressed with the quality of the Topnana nature hike 2!tent. When I opened the packaging I was impressed with the nice well-made bag to carry everything in. I purchased this tent to replace a one person tent made by a very well-known company which had several design flaws. The topnaca tent features some of the best material I have seen in any tent so far. The topnaca is quality all the way around from the sturdy aluminum poles which are lightweight to the double clips that clip onto the polls to hold the tent it self in place. The waterproofing sealing and taping of all the edges and the reinforcing of the corners add to the durability of this fantastic product. I cannot say enough good things about the quality of this tent. This tent weighs in at 3.7 pounds and more than comfortably fits myself my daughter and her dog which hike the Appalachian trail most of the year. We have been failed by several tents from many different companies. After several returns and much research, this one came and is such a breath of fresh air. From the top to the bottom this tent is ultra quality. As a seamstress I am very familiar with different types and qualities of fabric. I cannot say enough about the quality fabric, stitching, and materials that have been put into this tent. I can see this being our tent for years and years to come.I normally do reviews for companies for a discount. I DID NOT receive a discount on this fine tent.

Arrived very quickly and amazingly compact when rolled and stowed. Well constructed piece of kit, nicely finished and reinforced in all the critical places. Be aware this is a large canopy. Nice thing is there are several ways you can configure it depending on needs. Very versatile especially if you want to add a couple of extra poles. Well pleased with this purchase and would recommend!

The groundsheet feels robust enough without being too heavy. Eyelets appear good quality. The bright orange colour could help as a distress item.

Gave this a trial by fire wild-camping on Dartmoor and unfortunately tore at the edge when being used as a shelter. Luckily had a surplus poncho I could use as a replacement shelter although disappointed as I had high hopes for this as the material seemed light weight but durable. My honest opinion would be to go for something a bit higher quality as I was lucky the weather wasn't terrible and could make do with the poncho shelter for the night.Have requested a refund unfortunately.

I've used this a number of times now and in sometimes quite horrendous conditions! It's certainly able to cope with high winds and torrential rain. Excellent piece of kit for the money. The shape makes it a very adaptable tarp. Can be used as an airy shade in hot weather or you can pin the sides to the ground in wet and windy weather to provide a sheltered outdoor communal space. It also packs up small and is very light to carry. My only criticism would be that the poles are not really robust enough. I use a couple of old tent poles that are thicker and stronger.

The 2 person is more like 1 person an kit. Its a great tarp very light packs so small, tho im unsure how it will fair in high winds. as for its waterproof property who knows, im still ordering another cause at £8 its a bargain.Edit ( spent the night under this kept rain out well)Edit#2 got 4 person one also its huge brilliant seller brilliant tarp.
