Rhino ValleyBeach Tent Sun Shelter, Beach Canopy Tent Sun Shade UPF50+ Protection with 8 Sandbags 4 Stability Poles, Outdoor Beach Shade Canopy for Beach, Camping, Fishing

We purchased this for a family beach trip and we were very happy with the product.Pros:-Very lightweight and compact for the size of shade provided-Setup was easy. With three adults helping it took about 5 minutes but I am confident that one person could have it ready to go in less than 15 minutes.-Plenty of shade! We had 4 adults, two toddlers, and an infant. We had plenty of room in the shade for adults to relax and left a corner of the shade clear for the toddlers to play in the sand. (This was with the 10x10 model)-Held up great in the wind! We had a steady breeze all day with some larger gusts. We even saw one of the traditional metal frame pop-up tents get blown down the beach with the larger gusts but our Rhino Valley Beach Tent held up great.Cons:-Might be too large for a crowded beach. This was not an issue for us, but if you deal with crowded beaches with limited space, the required footprint to secure the tent may be difficult.Summary:The Rhino Valley 10x10 Beach tent was perfect for our need and worked wonderfully. The provided shade kept us cool and the compact size saved my back from hauling it to the beach. It was sturdy in the wind and held up great. I would absolutely recommend this to someone needing shade for a larger area. A good tip for set up is to spread the corners to stretch the fabric pretty tight and fill the sand bags as full as you can. We used this method and had no issues even on the first set up.

Loved it- took it to the beach and the wind was ripping. Didn’t have any issues with it blowing off or worried about it falling over. Although you definitely need two people to put it up if it’s windy outside. I was able to put it in the washer on a gentle cycle afterwards too which was nice! I’ll be curious to see if I can get the poles in normal dirt/grass very easy as they are more flexible. Happiest with the size of the carrying bag. Perfect for limited space and you don’t want to take a rigid canopy with you.

Easy to use, but beware if using on the beach that it doesn't stand up very well in wind. Maybe with different placement of the poles or getting them deeper, but there was a lot of flapping of the tent and the bags would get pulled. I feel this may have been some user error but I think a heavier weighted pole would have been better. For the price though it was what we needed for some shade at the beach without having to carry a traditional tent. It was super light weight and packed up super small (like little duffle bag) with everything you needed, including shovels!!! So yes, if it's not too windy this is probably a great tent, just wish the poles were a bit heavier. It was easy to set up and take down.

First and foremost, setting up this tent was an absolute breeze. The pop-up design makes it incredibly easy to assemble, and I had it up and ready for use within minutes of arriving at the beach. No complicated instructions or frustrating assembly required – just unfold, extend, and you're good to go.Once set up, the tent provided excellent protection from the sun. The fabric is not only durable and well-made, but it also offers UPF 50+ sun protection, giving me peace of mind knowing that I was shielded from harmful UV rays. Plus, the generous size of the tent provided ample shade for myself and a few friends, allowing us to relax and enjoy the beach without worrying about getting sunburned.When it was time to pack up, the tent folded down easily into its compact carrying bag, making it convenient to transport and store until our next beach adventure.Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchased. It's well-made, easy to set up, and provides excellent sun protection. everything you could ask for in a beach tent.

In looking at and deciding to purchase this beach tent, I was dubious for several reasons. 1): Were the poles flimsy and would bend of snap easily in a strong wind blow-over or pushing the tent upwards with the poles? 2): Are the 8 sand anchors really going to keep everything upright in strong winds? 3): Is it going to be feasible to put it by myself if it is just my wife and me? 4): Is it really all going to fit nicely back into the carry case and fit in one of our larger checked suitcases?Well, let me tell you, all of these concerns were completely unfounded. This tent works fantastic!!We used it for the first time in Maui this week. On the day we chose to spend the day on the beach, all the islands were under small-craft advisories, with winds sustained @ 15-20mph, with gusts easily @ 25. It took a little practice and patience to get the right combination of set-up completed (pole placement, sand bags filled and positioned, etc). But once there, this tent didn't blow over ONE TIME!The trick/key to making it work under strong wind conditions is to load up the 8 sand buckets COMPLETELY full, to where they probaably weigh 10lbs. ea. Then, once you have the tent up with the poles in place, simply dig holes in the sand AROUND the 8 buckets, and bury the buckets in the holes, with then more sand covering them up.It sounds like a lot of work, but it wasn't at all. And, depending on how many people are under the tent, you can either place the poles outword more to create more covered sittig area, or move them in more to create some custom/adjusted shade areas.We had 4 adults and 2 toddlers under the tent, along with 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, and we all had plenty of room and shade. You simple have to move around every 20-30 minutes if you want to keep totally shaded since the sunshine obviously moves around. But all of that was easy-peezy, and never a problem.I highly recommend this beach tent to anyone who spends quality time on a beach. My wife and I would so pleased that we're gong to look for a smaller version just for the 2 of us since we travel to beach locations several times a year by ourselves. It really works and does the job.
