After our old standard tree pole beach tent broke beyond economical repair we wanted something easier to put up and bigger
This is perfect
Was up in sub a minute and even without using it before, back down and packed away I a couple of minutes
It’s also such a good size, can easily house 2 adults and 2 kids inside
Ordered this after much research and I’m delighted with it.
After deciding to spend Easter Sunday having a BBQ on the beach, this provided essential shelter for quite a cold wind.
The ease at which to pitch it was incredible, went up in about a minute, and once the stability bags on side were pegged down it was quite stable. The plastic pegs were a little hard to push in as beach was mixture of sand/stones so I’ll bring a set of metal pegs next time.
We were there for 6 hours and the dismantling of the shelter was exceptionally quick. It was down & wrapped up & in bag in about a minute!
Lots of YouTube tutorial videos to show you how to do it.
Delighted with my purchase & well worth the expense!
I have purchased cheap beach tents in the past and have always gone for the kind that have a floor mat at the front that also zips up to create a closed pod for chaging in, getting the children ready or for my wife to breastfeed when my kids where younger and they have always been great for the price, but the only thing that really let them down was the actual tent poles. Due to the cheapness of the tent, the poles where very flimsy and never really stood up to even the slightest bit of wind and in the English summertime, there is a lot of it and it renders your tent a bit useless as a shelter if it’s sagging in or folding over, so I decided that Is had enough of cheating out on a beach tent, as after all, it has to last some time AND look after your family from the various elements. I had kept my eye on this tent for a while, but had not bought it due to being a little hesitant about spending so much on a beach tent, but finally decided that my family needed something decent for our beach days, picnics, days out, etc… and I have got to say that I am glad I did and can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner! The tent itself is so well made and the poles are incredibly sturdy, the mechanism is fantastic and so quick, you can literally have the tent up in seconds and visa versa. The pockets on the sides for filling with sabf to further weigh the tent down are brilliant, and the fact that they velcro closed is genius, as when you are ready to go, you simply undo the velcro and shake the sand off, rather than having to turn the sand bag pockets inside out. The floor mat is very robust and large enough for a family to all sit on, the inside of the tent is a very decent size and the fact that the floor mat zips up is incredibly useful, especially for changing or maybe even just a bit if privacy out of the sun. I am really happy with this beach tent and will be suggesting it to my friends and family. We purchased the smallest one they do and it is easily big enough for my family of four, plus more people, bags and spare clothes. If you are looking for a great quality, sturdy beach tent that is light, easy to put up and take down, then this is it!!
Really like the relative simplicity of this. Looks good, light, easy to pop up and the family like it. Decent wind break, like the zip up the front. The windows are unnecessary – any rain, even drizzle, comes straight through and pools inside getting everything wet. Not looking for a camping tent and wouldn’t expect it to be heavy rainproof, just showerproof. but the windows are a mesh and the blinds flap inside so really it’s a rain collector!
If you want a windbreak and sun shade, great tent. If you want a bit of protection for your kit from a shower or two, look for one without windows!!
What i like bout this is the ease of use, little bit more pricey than your regular beach tent, however, it is so easy to put up … no messing around trying to thread poles through . Well worth the extra money and its light also , i would recommend .
We bought this beach tent for a recent trip to Cornwall and would highly recommend. Previously, we’d had a pop-up beach tent that was difficult to fold and broke after a week of use. This Easthills tent was so much better – pops up in seconds and you can put away almost just as quickly, it’s easy to collapse and fold up. The bag that accompanies it is really large so easy to put the tent back in, which is often a challenge. There are four big pockets inside for storing things and being able to zip the front up is very handy for getting changes on the beach. Size-wise, there were two adults and two kids (5 and 3) using it and there was ample space for us, our beach bags and a cool box. Would highly recommend!
Based on using twice.
Spacious Shelter that fitted 2 adults 2 kids and a dog tucked into the corner!
Protected us from the British drizzle perfectly and withstood quite a strong breeze.
Unfortunately we bought it after the heatwave but the black out lining would have been brilliant on a sunny day. It also allows the breeze to flow through.
Easy to put up. Read the instructions first!
Getting back in the bag. Read the instructions and push down on the red poles. When it’s breezy it’s not easy to pack away neatly but it will with some wrestling fit into the bag provided just not like it arrived.
Great beach tent. Easy to put up and take down only takes seconds, we’ve had other tents previously which are ok to put up but a nightmare to put away… this one is great and comes in its own carry bag.. Easily fits our family of 4 inside and the dog. We used the tent this august in Cornwall and it stood up great in windy conditions. Sheltered is all nicely when returning from surfing. The fact that you can zip up the front entrance and secure the windows so that you can change privately or warm up quicker is a really good idea. Highly Recommended
Only tried it a couple of times so fat but its great perfect for our beach days. Secure in the wind and plenty of room for us inside. Love the zip up feature to allow us to get changed with privacy whilst at the beach. Easy to put up/take down and fit back into its bag. We would recommend this beach te
Very easy to put up & take down, first time we used it was on the beach & we didn’t look like idiots trying to figure out how to use it!
Loads of room, fit 2 adults & 2 kids in easily when sat on the floor. Could sit 2 people in on chairs as it is tall enough.
Bottom of the tent is a bit thinner than I expected & felt we needed to be careful when moving around the tent so as not to rip it.
Overall a large, light & easy to use tent. Perfect for a beach holiday, would recommend.
We bought this tent for use on the beach and are currently using it daily while on holiday in Cornwall. Very easy to use, great size for the three of us to get inside when the showers come – although waterproof, rain obviously does come in through the mesh windows but we just make sure there’s nothing close to them when it does rain. Nice size for changing into/out of swimwear. Even had someone tell us they had ‘tent envy’ on the beach. We spend a lot of time at the beach and this tent is by far the best we have ever bought. Would recommend.
Larger than average beach tent, don’t expect an adult to stand up in it, easily sits 4 side by side (or 2 adults and 3 kids under 12). Easy to get up and down, also fits into the bag easily afterwards (not always the case with other pop up tents). Easy to transport in a car and carry over the shoulder to the beach (light). One minor niggle, which mainly down to the UK weather, is that it flexes quite a bit in strong winds, copes well with light winds in the SoF & Adriatic 🙂
Brilliant. Used it this summer in all sorts of weather, on the beach. Clever and well developed detailing. Super fast up n down. Bag could be a bit thicker. You may need a towel over the top in very hot direct sun, as there is quite a bit of glare in bright sun. Lots of demo’s on YouTube.
Does exactly what it says on the tin. Only criticism is that it is difficult to pack up and it lost a river on my first attempt. Still works well though, is a great, big shade!
Very quick to assemble by just pulling draw strings it the top of the shelter. As usual for these things it not as simple getting it down and in the bag but I would still recommend this product. Good storage inside but could have made the windows Velcro as they flap around in the wind when down.
Overall a decent purchase and does what it says on the ti
Just what I was after. Big enough to get 2 chairs in and shelter enough for a day at the sea with the very changeable weather on the north east coast. Well impressed with the quality. Very good.
Bought this because I like the beach but not the sun. Although I`ve yet to use it on a beach its been standing in the garden for over a week in all weathers. It`s big enough to accommodate two deck chairs and even a small table the ground sheet zips up making it secure to leave The blinds covering the mesh windows are not very strong the slightest gust of wind unhooks them ,but apart from that its well made easy to put up and take down. Money well spent and it even stops you getting we
Absolutely superb beach tent/shader. Really simple to put up and really sturdy,the sand bags are a fantastic addition and the light weight pegs hold everything in place fantastically. We’ve had beach tents before but this is by far the best, the carry case is also brilliant allowing plenty of room to pack the tent away once you are done. Overall really pleased and would absolutely recommend. I five stars.
Bought after a few cheap “fold in a bag ” type beach shelters. This one is really well made with a lot of thought going into the design.it only takes a minute to remove from its bag and to have fully erected.Really good sun protection , and the front zips up so you can get changed without embarrassment.It has useful sand pockets, which can easily be filled, to tie down the tent in windy conditions. These are easily emptied by releasing the Velcro sides. To fold the tent away is really easy and again only takes a minute. Overall a really good buy which will give years of service.
I’ll admit I was a little nervous when I first used this, as it was quite windy on the beach and I had no real idea how to work it.
I needn’t have worried – it was easy to put up (handy instructions in the carry case) and was more robust in the wind than I thought it would be.
Whilst others were struggling with their wind breaks or other tents we were all set up and could enjoy the beach.
The shelter from the wind and some reprieve from the sun was welcome and is a mainstay for our beach trips.
The ability to close the door fully was great allowing the kids to get out of their swimsuits and dried and changed was a real plus. They were nice and warm in it and the space allowed all three children to be in their at the same time.
I did think that people would be sniggering as we took the tent down (or be blown down the beach) but it was so simple. We were all packed away and ready to go in no time.
The only disappointment with this product is the handle on the carry case which is coming away from the material. I have contacted them about it but heard nothing as yet – which is a shame. You don’t expect that after a weeks use when you are only using it as it was designed.
I was concerned about some earlier comments that it was difficult to put up. It was so easy and quick and I love the idea of sand pockets on the outside to weight it down on windy days.
Ticks all the right boxes:
Light and convenient to carry, in bag included;
Very quick and easy to put up and to collapse;
Early days, but looks like it is robust and should last a long time;
Packs away neatly into carry bag;
Good size for a day on the beach;
Very pleased with this purchase.
Excellent product! I was actually looking at another brand and did some research on YouTube about putting beach tents up and found this brand. I am only 5ft tall and was worried about having enough height on me and strength to pull the strings to errect it. No problems at all! Went up with ease and it’s such a good size. Perfect for me and my daughter and we can’t wait to use it! Love it!
One of our best ever purchases. It was everything you promised and more.
>>>> Will definitely recommend so please continue to create the same wonderful product to the same high standard! <<<<>
A definite must have! Perfect shade whilst allowing air flow. Fit all our stuff and three of us with ample room left over during a brief rain shower at the beach. Heard everyone else run to seek shelter while we zipped up the front, had a snack and reopened when the rain passed!
Great for napping, having lunch, shade, rain protect. Wouldn’t go beach without it!
Felt very smug taking this to the beach last week! Not always does my husband appreciate my purchases, but this did indeed gain much praise.
Couldn’t be quicker/easier to assemble/dismantle. Easily the best beach shelter on the shoreline last week. Worth absolutely every penny & sister in law eager to purchase one also after witnessing how spectacular this shelter really is. So useful being able to zip the porch up to enable family to get changed into beach wear privately & easy to transport with a lovely roomy bag to put back into once finished using. Cannot praise this item enough, made our beach vacation much easier. Lots of lovely pockets to safely keep essentials, great shade for the pets to lay in.
Perfect for the beach, easy to put up and take down, literally seconds. Lighter than our beach chairs to carry, no problems so far, so would highly recommend.
This tent is so easy to put up and takes no time at all! Also easy to dismantle and pack away and very lightweight to carry which is handy. I was hesitant about spending 70 on this tent, but it is definitely worth the money and would recommend!
Not had it on the beach yet but popped it up in the kitchen. It’s big, but not too big. Love the pockets for pebbles or sand to keep the tent down. Plenty of space for changing in or just keeping out of the wind/rain (UK weather…)
The popping up/popping down is very, very easy – quicker than the instructions say.
This thing is great! It’s easy to put up (literally one person a few minutes), the anchor points are well thought out. Material seems high quality, the bag is a loose fit. Folds away just as quick as it goes up. I can almost hear the gasps of amazement from all the people who watch on the beach hoping for some comedy.
Basically someone took all the bad design points of other tents, fixed them, then made it.
Delivery was excellent. We owned a beach tent previously ( fabulously versatile product for sure) with the same erection mechanics & it was constantly awful to erect & pack away. It’s such a great item for garden, beach or countryside picnic etc, which made us look at the latest beach shelter products. Took the risk with the same mechanics which have been simplified. This one is larger than our last one & yet is lighter & smaller when packed. This will go everywhere we go. Get this if you can ~ you’l not regret it …. Stuart P.
Fantastic product, provides great u.v protection, ideal for young children especially. Really quick & easy to setup, folds up nice & compact into bag provided, would highly recommend for day @ the beech/ park picnic etc….
Great product so easy to put up and take down compared to a normal tent, well worth the extra money I. Comparison. Also it is big enough to use as a proper shelter in good or bad weathe
Larger than I thought and surprisingly stable given the pop-up nature, but the additional guy ropes help. Very roomy and perfect for our family of 3 to pitch on the beach for a few hours. The light blue colour also helps with the heat in the summer, and it has opening windows for added ventilation. We love it!
If anyone is looking for a beach shelter you can’t go wrong with this, spf50 protection, sand pockets to weigh it down, goes up in 60 seconds, can have the front zippered up for a changing area, recommended muchly! No more windbreakers and mallets and bashing stuff into sand
We took this tent away to France this summer. It takes seconds to open and about a minute in total to erect and pub. I’m amazed by its simplicity to allow you to set up and put away. The size is fantastic. It doesn’t look out of place being large but does provide great shelter. We had our picnic lunch covered. 2 spaniels and 3 adults. It’s a great space. We did use the front zip to change privately. It works well standing if you bend over- this is such a great feature and would allow possessions to be safe if you all left the tent unoccupied.
This compact small and easy to carry tent is a nice tent for the beach camping gardens etc, it can fit about 4-5 people and has windows for privacy, small elastic pockets for you to put your keys, phones, snacks etc, all around this tent is a good and an okishly priced tent, the only complaint is that it is to small…
We had been looking for a decent sized and easy to assemble beach tent for a while. After a lot of research we found the easthills large instant shade. This is the perfect size for my family of 5 and has been fantastic for the hot weather. I cannot stress how easy it is to put up. Would definitely recommend and will be sticking to this brand in future.
Very easy to put up and take down. The front zips up well and the sand pockets are good with the velcro to let the sand out. However I wish I had bought the silver lined one as the material is very thin and it feels hot when sun shining on it. The windows are ok but the covers don’t fasten flush with mesh so when it rains it just comes through mesh behind covers and wets inside.
Tent arrived quickly. The carrying bag was very thin and the strap was not sewn on properly. Contacted the seller who responded very promptly and despatched a new bag which is more suitable. The size of the carrying bag means that the tent fits in easily, you don’t have to be an origami expert to get the tent back in.
The tent itself feels well built and the velcro release sand pockets work well. Will have to see how the velcro stands up to repeated use over time. But at the moment is much easier than having to dig the sand out of the pockets.
So far happy days.
We had a couple of practices on the lawn first before taking it to the beach. On the first outing it was a very windy sunny day and we had a 2 year old Grandson with us. It was really light to carry and went up easily. Our grandson loved filling the pockets with stones. We got 2 standard folding camping chairs and all our stuff in. Because of the flaps over the windows it was airy but not cold. It packed up easily when we left the beach and the Velcro on the stone pockets was great for removing the contents quickly. It’s good if you need to put it up quick whilst watching young children and my grandson approves.
Perfect for beach day with the kids. We have a baby and this is ideal to protect him from the sun while still enjoying the landscape and the breeze. We also use it on the garden on BBQ days, but it is actually pretty big so it takes a lot of space.
Cheap and cheerful but not cheap quality.. its not high end quality either but its functional and does the job its supposed to do. I like it. I rate it good.
Absolutely fab! We struggled to find something big enough and this is perfect, only put up in the garden so far but going to the beach tomorrow and can’t wait to try it out!!
We’ve only tried this in the back garden so far but it was just as easy to put up as it was to get back into the bag but do yourself a (common sense) favour and note how it’s folded in the first place when you first get it out of the bag then just do the same when putting it back in again – it’s not rocket science.
This is a great size and the build quality looks decent for the money although the zips are more medium duty than heavy duty which I would very much prefer so take care with them IMO and don’t let kids mess with them.
For under 100 this looks to be a very good buy indeed but it’s not made of metal of course so you’ll likely need to look after it to get long-term enjoyment out of it.
We did lots of research as this is quite pricey for a beach tent but after our first outing to the beach with this tent I can honestly say it’s worth every penny! So easy to put up & down by one person, great space to get changed in privacy with plenty of space inside
Used this product today, it was easy to put up and fold away. Like others have said look at the way it comes out. When you come to put it back in the bag it’s so much easier. We used this at a social distancing picnic and we had lots of positive reviews on how good it was and they were thinking of buying one.
Beautifully simple to use, a very well designed product delivered with sturdy construction.
Used for a picnic with two adults and three children, everybody was impressed with how much space their was.
It would be five stars but only three because of the strap. It literally snapped after the third time we went to the beach! The tent itself is brilliant and very easy to put it up but it needs a more stronger case!
UPDATE!
Today (20/06/2020) I just received a parcel/Amazon delivery out of the blue and in the bag it was a brand new case for the tent so I’m changing my review from 3 stars to 5! Amazing customer service! Thank you for the case!
ONE of the best products I have brought on Amazon. Easy to put up..in less than 2 minutes and take down. Folds perfectly back into the bag..lightweight to carry.
I was worried about the tent on the sea front as it was very very windy. Need not have worried this tent stood fast!!.. did not buckle once ..kept the wind off us and kept us nice and warm. The size is great inside..plenty of room for 2 adults and a couple of children. I have a large family sp am seriously considering getting another for visitors and a big big day out on the beach. Dont hesitate with this product…its brillia
Haven’t used this yet, but it is very simple to put up and take down – which is the reason we bought it (since the last one we owned was a difficult ‘pop up’ tent) Looks very nice & a reasonable size for baby to play in whilst protected from the sun.
Space for 2 camping chairs plus 2 recumbent tweens + all our baggage. Not heavy to carry and bag design sensible for putting it away. Time needed to put up / take down very quick: it helps having more than one person in windy conditions – you would only buy it if there was more than one of you, I think – but on a still day then it would be no problem for one person. First day of use was in a stiff breeze and gusts of 20 mph+: we used the pegs with guy ropes and stones in the side pockets and had no problems. Note that it is not a “proper tent” (no flysheet etc.) and will only give limited protection from rain, but good for sun / wind. I felt a bit soft buying a beach tent at all but wife was recuperating from operations on her knees hence wanted a place to sit in a camping chair without sun or wind burn. Elder daughter also at a sensitive age and appreciated having space to change (the front does up for this purpose). Pricier than most tents but overall very happy with the purchase.
Absolutely brilliant. Only thing stopping me giving 5 stars is that the fabric and stitching doesn’t look as strong as it could be but I could be wrong, only time will tell. Very easy to put up and spacious.
Amazing! Easy to pop up, easy to put down (even in some light winds), and just what we were looking for (for dog shade).
Good for the beach, with sand pockets to weight it down and pockets inside to hold your phone, keys, etc.
In heavy winds this would be difficult (as with all tents) and the fold up size is much bigger than an equivalent carbon fibre pole type tent, but you make up for that in convenience.
This product is very easy to erect and is fantastic for the beach or on a picnic. I did have a small problem with it and contacted Easthills and their response and assistance was first class. Sometimes things do go wrong but if everyone had the same level of customer support that they do then those companies would benefit greatly
Good for beach use with 2 adults and 2 children. Easy to put up. More tricky to put down in a wind. Bag seam parted very quickly due to fabric not lined up on said seam.
I was a little dubious when I bought this beach tent as I have seen people struggle with similar items on the beach. I was extremely happy witht he ease of use of this tent. No exageration, I can erect it in 30 seconds and dimantle it in 1 minute.
I would reccomend it with no hesitation. Comes with everything you will need for use on the beach.
Used a few times on holiday in France. Big enough for 2 young kids and 2 adults to sit on camping chairs inside. Not too big tho so it takes up half the beach. Easy to put up after you get the hang of it. Seems pretty robust so all good after 3 weeks ownership.
Awesome beach tent, super fast and easy to put up and pack down. Size is good for two adults and a child to sit in comfortably. I’m 6’2″ and fairly overweight and it fits me fine. Great to be able to open up the sides for a nice breeze. Zip up porch does the job so you can change inside, just watch that you unzip the corners fully when using it as a front mat otherwise there’s a good chance you could strain and break the zip there. The bag is not as pictured, it’s a drawstring bag which is fine, just a little harder to get the tent into, but that’s no bother. Only given it 4 stars purely because the bag handle broke on the first time we took it to the beach. It might be because I was trying to wear it over my shoulder and I put too much strain on it but it wasn’t very securely stitched in. We usually take a parasol and a wind break to the beach anyway so I’ve found just lashing all 3 together with a piece of rope at both ends and using the excess in the middle for a strap works really well. Apart from the bag strap, this is an excellent purchase and I can highly recommend it, worth the cost and you certainly won’t regret it.
This is a very good beach tent. It is incredibly easy to put up and take down, if there’s no wind it’s a one man job. Lightweight. Good shade area. I have already recommended it to a friend with 3 children under 7.
Nice item, very quick to put up. Loads of space for family and belongings. Would recommend buying different pegs if using on the beach as the 1s supplied aren’t brillia
Just did a quick practice set up before going away later in the month. Very impressed with the beach shelter, very easy to setup; can’t wait to use it on the beach.
Excellent product – using it now for the first time on a slightly windy day on a UK beach, it was up and pegged down securely using the attached sand pockets and pegs in under 5 minutes, and is very stable. Loads of space inside and seems very well made. Couldn’t be happier with it. Hope it lasts as well as it performs!
In this probationary period (just received it!) I have given it 4 stars until I see how well it lasts but upon first inspection there is no reason why it shouldn’t last and deserve 5 stars. Upon receipt I immediately tested it out on the lawn and in a breeze so I had some wind to contend with. I followed the clear instructions precisely and methodically and was delighted how easy and quick it was to both erect and dismantle and pack away. Once up I was very pleased at how spacious it was and I loved the blue colour. The blinds for the ventilation windows, tho’ not fully, did keep the wind out sufficiently for me to not be bothered. I am 6’5″ tall which was obviously an advantage during erection and dismantle but simply tilting the shelter slightly on its side during the process would ensure smaller people would also have no problem. When dismantled and folded it went back into its bag without hassle. It’s a great beach shelter and I’m really pleased with it, plenty of space for relaxing in recliner chairs. Just follow the instructions carefully and you won’t have a problem.
Perfect on a North Devonshire windy beach in April. Was worried it would be difficult to put up and down and bulky to carry. It was a piece of cake and a great size. The pockets on the sides full of wet sand held it in place with no need to use the pegs. Zips up for privacy changing.really excellent quality. Had 2 low beach chairs in there and all our kit.
This is an easy tent to put up and down compared to the pop up tent we had which was such a pain when we went to the beach last year and caused much stress! Good size tent with lovely design of windows, sand pockets, zip up front for privacy. Only downside was product appeared dirty/used when first opening and there are two small rips/tears in the carry bag and a part of the floor is dusty/dirty. Maybe it was a returned item which was used? Or one not looked after in the warehouse… Would still recommend if looking for a good size beach tent.
Had previously bought a smaller version that was a bit small for 2 adults and 2 children jumping around.
This one (Deluxe XL version) is massive !!
Only takes a minute or so to open up.
Bit fiddly to wrap up as have to release the legs but still not a problem and absolutely perfect for beach.
we adore this!!! so easy to set up, was up in less than a minute and down in two. perfect for us to all sit in, two daughters, Me and hubby. great shelter from the wind, great shade, great to sit on instead of towels, we just loved i
Great beach shelter- very easy to put up and down. Plenty of room, but I think you’d struggle to get 2 people sitting on beach chairs inside. Great that you can zip up the door for privacy and to keep things out of view, overall a good shelter.
This is a great, sturdy and easy to set up tent. The door gives you privacy for changing and gives shelter from the wind, Sun and a light shower. Large enough to give me, my partner and the little one shelter keeping the same out of the sandwiches! Would recommend
Great beach tent – so easy to setup just by pulling the cords, well made, lots of features. Easy to store in bag once folded up (bag is not a zipped one per picture but a drawstring one which I think is fine). Worth paying a bit extra for the quality brand and thoughtful features (velcro sand pockets, zip up porch, large pegs designed for sand, large mesh windows with roll down covers, mesh storage pockets, reflective grey groundsheet (as opposed to black) to prevent getting hot in sun, and of course the easy-up/down mechanism!)
The tent arrived midday on the day it said it would. Extremely happy with the fast delivery service.
I was surprised by the length of the package and the tent carry bag did seem a fair amount longer than I had expected it to be.
I was a little bit disappointed that it wasn’t in the zip up bag as was shown on the ad picture, but was in a looser, drawstring instead, but I wasn’t overly bothered by it & it seemed to match the tent better.
Oddly though, upon opening the tent it gave off a rather weird smell, which unfortunately I can only describe as being a bit of a moldy kind of smell. But the tent itself looked brand new and was wrapped up as so too, so I’m not exactly sure why this would be the case. Maybe where it was stored had something to do with that.
The tent itself, I am so over the moon with!! So much so that the couple of unexpected things really do not matter in comparison to how I feel about tgis tent! I’ve left the tent open to air, and will be wiping the insides to freshen it a bit. It’s definately NOT a deal breaker.
The tent it spacious, it didn’t take me long to put it up, and it’s easy to take down again.
And it’s I find it light to carry!
Most of all I LOVE how it looks. Very Impressed with this tent! And CAN’T WAIT to take it out to the park on a sunny day with the kiddos!!
I highly recommend it, for any one considering getting it!
The shelter arrived promptly, was well packaged and a more than met my expectations. Love the shelter but wish they hadn’t changed the design of the carry bag from a zipped one to a tube with a drawstring.
This tent is perfect for the beach. There is loads of room for members of the family to stay shaded from the sun. For a beach tent it is quite expensive and it would be a tight squeeze to fit four people. It would be more comfortable for two adults or four children. It would not buy this tent for going camping. Water would get into it eventually during a heavy downpour. The zip on the tent is a little bit weak and won’t stand up to a lot of pulling or children being rough with it. It needs to be handled gently.
It is perfect for the garden and the beach on a sunny day. The children will love playing in it. It only takes a couple of minutes to put it up. It is very simple. It folds away very neatly as well. It comes with a storage/carrier bag which makes it easy to pack and store.
I was completely surprised at how easy it was to put up and put away again. It is cleverly designed.
Brilliant product but a pole was broken so had to send it back. Went to get another one and they were sold out!
After our old standard tree pole beach tent broke beyond economical repair we wanted something easier to put up and bigger
This is perfect
Was up in sub a minute and even without using it before, back down and packed away I a couple of minutes
It’s also such a good size, can easily house 2 adults and 2 kids inside
Ordered this after much research and I’m delighted with it.
After deciding to spend Easter Sunday having a BBQ on the beach, this provided essential shelter for quite a cold wind.
The ease at which to pitch it was incredible, went up in about a minute, and once the stability bags on side were pegged down it was quite stable. The plastic pegs were a little hard to push in as beach was mixture of sand/stones so I’ll bring a set of metal pegs next time.
We were there for 6 hours and the dismantling of the shelter was exceptionally quick. It was down & wrapped up & in bag in about a minute!
Lots of YouTube tutorial videos to show you how to do it.
Delighted with my purchase & well worth the expense!
Only popped up in my living room
Lovely size, can’t wait to use it at the beach
I have purchased cheap beach tents in the past and have always gone for the kind that have a floor mat at the front that also zips up to create a closed pod for chaging in, getting the children ready or for my wife to breastfeed when my kids where younger and they have always been great for the price, but the only thing that really let them down was the actual tent poles. Due to the cheapness of the tent, the poles where very flimsy and never really stood up to even the slightest bit of wind and in the English summertime, there is a lot of it and it renders your tent a bit useless as a shelter if it’s sagging in or folding over, so I decided that Is had enough of cheating out on a beach tent, as after all, it has to last some time AND look after your family from the various elements. I had kept my eye on this tent for a while, but had not bought it due to being a little hesitant about spending so much on a beach tent, but finally decided that my family needed something decent for our beach days, picnics, days out, etc… and I have got to say that I am glad I did and can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner! The tent itself is so well made and the poles are incredibly sturdy, the mechanism is fantastic and so quick, you can literally have the tent up in seconds and visa versa. The pockets on the sides for filling with sabf to further weigh the tent down are brilliant, and the fact that they velcro closed is genius, as when you are ready to go, you simply undo the velcro and shake the sand off, rather than having to turn the sand bag pockets inside out. The floor mat is very robust and large enough for a family to all sit on, the inside of the tent is a very decent size and the fact that the floor mat zips up is incredibly useful, especially for changing or maybe even just a bit if privacy out of the sun. I am really happy with this beach tent and will be suggesting it to my friends and family. We purchased the smallest one they do and it is easily big enough for my family of four, plus more people, bags and spare clothes. If you are looking for a great quality, sturdy beach tent that is light, easy to put up and take down, then this is it!!
I wish I’d seen your blackout one first lol but still very happy.
Only 3 stars for warmth and thickness but this should not be seen as a negative as it is a sun shelter. Would reccomend to a friend.
Really like the relative simplicity of this. Looks good, light, easy to pop up and the family like it. Decent wind break, like the zip up the front. The windows are unnecessary – any rain, even drizzle, comes straight through and pools inside getting everything wet. Not looking for a camping tent and wouldn’t expect it to be heavy rainproof, just showerproof. but the windows are a mesh and the blinds flap inside so really it’s a rain collector!
If you want a windbreak and sun shade, great tent. If you want a bit of protection for your kit from a shower or two, look for one without windows!!
What i like bout this is the ease of use, little bit more pricey than your regular beach tent, however, it is so easy to put up … no messing around trying to thread poles through . Well worth the extra money and its light also , i would recommend .
Love the product, however would be nice if it kept a light drizzle out. Overall very simple to set up and take down.
We bought this beach tent for a recent trip to Cornwall and would highly recommend. Previously, we’d had a pop-up beach tent that was difficult to fold and broke after a week of use. This Easthills tent was so much better – pops up in seconds and you can put away almost just as quickly, it’s easy to collapse and fold up. The bag that accompanies it is really large so easy to put the tent back in, which is often a challenge. There are four big pockets inside for storing things and being able to zip the front up is very handy for getting changes on the beach. Size-wise, there were two adults and two kids (5 and 3) using it and there was ample space for us, our beach bags and a cool box. Would highly recommend!
Based on using twice.
Spacious Shelter that fitted 2 adults 2 kids and a dog tucked into the corner!
Protected us from the British drizzle perfectly and withstood quite a strong breeze.
Unfortunately we bought it after the heatwave but the black out lining would have been brilliant on a sunny day. It also allows the breeze to flow through.
Easy to put up. Read the instructions first!
Getting back in the bag. Read the instructions and push down on the red poles. When it’s breezy it’s not easy to pack away neatly but it will with some wrestling fit into the bag provided just not like it arrived.
Great beach tent. Easy to put up and take down only takes seconds, we’ve had other tents previously which are ok to put up but a nightmare to put away… this one is great and comes in its own carry bag.. Easily fits our family of 4 inside and the dog. We used the tent this august in Cornwall and it stood up great in windy conditions. Sheltered is all nicely when returning from surfing. The fact that you can zip up the front entrance and secure the windows so that you can change privately or warm up quicker is a really good idea. Highly Recommended
So easy to put up and take down, packs away nicely. Recently used everyday for a UK beach holiday
Only tried it a couple of times so fat but its great perfect for our beach days. Secure in the wind and plenty of room for us inside. Love the zip up feature to allow us to get changed with privacy whilst at the beach. Easy to put up/take down and fit back into its bag. We would recommend this beach te
Very easy to put up & take down, first time we used it was on the beach & we didn’t look like idiots trying to figure out how to use it!
Loads of room, fit 2 adults & 2 kids in easily when sat on the floor. Could sit 2 people in on chairs as it is tall enough.
Bottom of the tent is a bit thinner than I expected & felt we needed to be careful when moving around the tent so as not to rip it.
Overall a large, light & easy to use tent. Perfect for a beach holiday, would recommend.
Super easy to set up and take down. Perfect for family use on the beach.
We bought this tent for use on the beach and are currently using it daily while on holiday in Cornwall. Very easy to use, great size for the three of us to get inside when the showers come – although waterproof, rain obviously does come in through the mesh windows but we just make sure there’s nothing close to them when it does rain. Nice size for changing into/out of swimwear. Even had someone tell us they had ‘tent envy’ on the beach. We spend a lot of time at the beach and this tent is by far the best we have ever bought. Would recommend.
Larger than average beach tent, don’t expect an adult to stand up in it, easily sits 4 side by side (or 2 adults and 3 kids under 12). Easy to get up and down, also fits into the bag easily afterwards (not always the case with other pop up tents). Easy to transport in a car and carry over the shoulder to the beach (light). One minor niggle, which mainly down to the UK weather, is that it flexes quite a bit in strong winds, copes well with light winds in the SoF & Adriatic 🙂
Brilliant. Used it this summer in all sorts of weather, on the beach. Clever and well developed detailing. Super fast up n down. Bag could be a bit thicker. You may need a towel over the top in very hot direct sun, as there is quite a bit of glare in bright sun. Lots of demo’s on YouTube.
Easy to put up even on a windy day. Good shelter for four to six children and adults. Other people on the beach were asking where we got it from
Does exactly what it says on the tin. Only criticism is that it is difficult to pack up and it lost a river on my first attempt. Still works well though, is a great, big shade!
Very quick to assemble by just pulling draw strings it the top of the shelter. As usual for these things it not as simple getting it down and in the bag but I would still recommend this product. Good storage inside but could have made the windows Velcro as they flap around in the wind when down.
Overall a decent purchase and does what it says on the ti
Great size and like that the front zips shut if wanted.
Easy to put up, take down and put away. No hassle.
Great beach tent, plenty of room easy to put up and take dow
Just what I was after. Big enough to get 2 chairs in and shelter enough for a day at the sea with the very changeable weather on the north east coast. Well impressed with the quality. Very good.
Bought this because I like the beach but not the sun. Although I`ve yet to use it on a beach its been standing in the garden for over a week in all weathers. It`s big enough to accommodate two deck chairs and even a small table the ground sheet zips up making it secure to leave The blinds covering the mesh windows are not very strong the slightest gust of wind unhooks them ,but apart from that its well made easy to put up and take down. Money well spent and it even stops you getting we
Can even be put up/down on a breezy beach!
Put it up on the garden, was a lot bigger then we thought, very easy to put up and take down, well worth the money.
Absolutely superb beach tent/shader. Really simple to put up and really sturdy,the sand bags are a fantastic addition and the light weight pegs hold everything in place fantastically. We’ve had beach tents before but this is by far the best, the carry case is also brilliant allowing plenty of room to pack the tent away once you are done. Overall really pleased and would absolutely recommend. I five stars.
Really good product. Really easy to put up and collapse.
Plenty of space to relax in.
Bought after a few cheap “fold in a bag ” type beach shelters. This one is really well made with a lot of thought going into the design.it only takes a minute to remove from its bag and to have fully erected.Really good sun protection , and the front zips up so you can get changed without embarrassment.It has useful sand pockets, which can easily be filled, to tie down the tent in windy conditions. These are easily emptied by releasing the Velcro sides. To fold the tent away is really easy and again only takes a minute. Overall a really good buy which will give years of service.
I’ll admit I was a little nervous when I first used this, as it was quite windy on the beach and I had no real idea how to work it.
I needn’t have worried – it was easy to put up (handy instructions in the carry case) and was more robust in the wind than I thought it would be.
Whilst others were struggling with their wind breaks or other tents we were all set up and could enjoy the beach.
The shelter from the wind and some reprieve from the sun was welcome and is a mainstay for our beach trips.
The ability to close the door fully was great allowing the kids to get out of their swimsuits and dried and changed was a real plus. They were nice and warm in it and the space allowed all three children to be in their at the same time.
I did think that people would be sniggering as we took the tent down (or be blown down the beach) but it was so simple. We were all packed away and ready to go in no time.
The only disappointment with this product is the handle on the carry case which is coming away from the material. I have contacted them about it but heard nothing as yet – which is a shame. You don’t expect that after a weeks use when you are only using it as it was designed.
I was concerned about some earlier comments that it was difficult to put up. It was so easy and quick and I love the idea of sand pockets on the outside to weight it down on windy days.
Very easy to pitch and collapse. Compact to carry definitely a recommended purchase!
Ticks all the right boxes:
Light and convenient to carry, in bag included;
Very quick and easy to put up and to collapse;
Early days, but looks like it is robust and should last a long time;
Packs away neatly into carry bag;
Good size for a day on the beach;
Very pleased with this purchase.
Excellent product! I was actually looking at another brand and did some research on YouTube about putting beach tents up and found this brand. I am only 5ft tall and was worried about having enough height on me and strength to pull the strings to errect it. No problems at all! Went up with ease and it’s such a good size. Perfect for me and my daughter and we can’t wait to use it! Love it!
One of our best ever purchases. It was everything you promised and more.
>>>> Will definitely recommend so please continue to create the same wonderful product to the same high standard! <<<<>
A definite must have! Perfect shade whilst allowing air flow. Fit all our stuff and three of us with ample room left over during a brief rain shower at the beach. Heard everyone else run to seek shelter while we zipped up the front, had a snack and reopened when the rain passed!
Great for napping, having lunch, shade, rain protect. Wouldn’t go beach without it!
Thank you!
A summer day full of fun. In the back garden or at the beach. This has been a blessing over the summer. A shad for my kids to play in the sun.
Felt very smug taking this to the beach last week! Not always does my husband appreciate my purchases, but this did indeed gain much praise.
Couldn’t be quicker/easier to assemble/dismantle. Easily the best beach shelter on the shoreline last week. Worth absolutely every penny & sister in law eager to purchase one also after witnessing how spectacular this shelter really is. So useful being able to zip the porch up to enable family to get changed into beach wear privately & easy to transport with a lovely roomy bag to put back into once finished using. Cannot praise this item enough, made our beach vacation much easier. Lots of lovely pockets to safely keep essentials, great shade for the pets to lay in.
Perfect for the beach, easy to put up and take down, literally seconds. Lighter than our beach chairs to carry, no problems so far, so would highly recommend.
This tent is so easy to put up and takes no time at all! Also easy to dismantle and pack away and very lightweight to carry which is handy. I was hesitant about spending 70 on this tent, but it is definitely worth the money and would recommend!
Not had it on the beach yet but popped it up in the kitchen. It’s big, but not too big. Love the pockets for pebbles or sand to keep the tent down. Plenty of space for changing in or just keeping out of the wind/rain (UK weather…)
The popping up/popping down is very, very easy – quicker than the instructions say.
Very happy with this beach tent.
Awesome. Easiest shelter to put up and down ever. An onlooker said how easy it looked. Plenty of room inside. Excellent.
This thing is great! It’s easy to put up (literally one person a few minutes), the anchor points are well thought out. Material seems high quality, the bag is a loose fit. Folds away just as quick as it goes up. I can almost hear the gasps of amazement from all the people who watch on the beach hoping for some comedy.
Basically someone took all the bad design points of other tents, fixed them, then made it.
Buy this tent.
Delivery was excellent. We owned a beach tent previously ( fabulously versatile product for sure) with the same erection mechanics & it was constantly awful to erect & pack away. It’s such a great item for garden, beach or countryside picnic etc, which made us look at the latest beach shelter products. Took the risk with the same mechanics which have been simplified. This one is larger than our last one & yet is lighter & smaller when packed. This will go everywhere we go. Get this if you can ~ you’l not regret it …. Stuart P.
Fantastic product, provides great u.v protection, ideal for young children especially. Really quick & easy to setup, folds up nice & compact into bag provided, would highly recommend for day @ the beech/ park picnic etc….
Great product so easy to put up and take down compared to a normal tent, well worth the extra money I. Comparison. Also it is big enough to use as a proper shelter in good or bad weathe
Larger than I thought and surprisingly stable given the pop-up nature, but the additional guy ropes help. Very roomy and perfect for our family of 3 to pitch on the beach for a few hours. The light blue colour also helps with the heat in the summer, and it has opening windows for added ventilation. We love it!
If anyone is looking for a beach shelter you can’t go wrong with this, spf50 protection, sand pockets to weigh it down, goes up in 60 seconds, can have the front zippered up for a changing area, recommended muchly! No more windbreakers and mallets and bashing stuff into sand
We took this tent away to France this summer. It takes seconds to open and about a minute in total to erect and pub. I’m amazed by its simplicity to allow you to set up and put away. The size is fantastic. It doesn’t look out of place being large but does provide great shelter. We had our picnic lunch covered. 2 spaniels and 3 adults. It’s a great space. We did use the front zip to change privately. It works well standing if you bend over- this is such a great feature and would allow possessions to be safe if you all left the tent unoccupied.
This compact small and easy to carry tent is a nice tent for the beach camping gardens etc, it can fit about 4-5 people and has windows for privacy, small elastic pockets for you to put your keys, phones, snacks etc, all around this tent is a good and an okishly priced tent, the only complaint is that it is to small…
We had been looking for a decent sized and easy to assemble beach tent for a while. After a lot of research we found the easthills large instant shade. This is the perfect size for my family of 5 and has been fantastic for the hot weather. I cannot stress how easy it is to put up. Would definitely recommend and will be sticking to this brand in future.
Very easy to put up and take down. The front zips up well and the sand pockets are good with the velcro to let the sand out. However I wish I had bought the silver lined one as the material is very thin and it feels hot when sun shining on it. The windows are ok but the covers don’t fasten flush with mesh so when it rains it just comes through mesh behind covers and wets inside.
Tent arrived quickly. The carrying bag was very thin and the strap was not sewn on properly. Contacted the seller who responded very promptly and despatched a new bag which is more suitable. The size of the carrying bag means that the tent fits in easily, you don’t have to be an origami expert to get the tent back in.
The tent itself feels well built and the velcro release sand pockets work well. Will have to see how the velcro stands up to repeated use over time. But at the moment is much easier than having to dig the sand out of the pockets.
So far happy days.
We had a couple of practices on the lawn first before taking it to the beach. On the first outing it was a very windy sunny day and we had a 2 year old Grandson with us. It was really light to carry and went up easily. Our grandson loved filling the pockets with stones. We got 2 standard folding camping chairs and all our stuff in. Because of the flaps over the windows it was airy but not cold. It packed up easily when we left the beach and the Velcro on the stone pockets was great for removing the contents quickly. It’s good if you need to put it up quick whilst watching young children and my grandson approves.
Wonderful product , no trip to tehebeach should happen without one! super light to carry and easy to pop up and down! breat quality and clever desig
Very easy to put up , better than expected, lots of room inside …
Ideal for a family day at the beach had many admiring looks and an inquiry into make and were bought. Really pleased with the purchase.
Absolutely love this tent, it’s very easy to put up and take down. The children love i
Perfect for beach day with the kids. We have a baby and this is ideal to protect him from the sun while still enjoying the landscape and the breeze. We also use it on the garden on BBQ days, but it is actually pretty big so it takes a lot of space.
Cheap and cheerful but not cheap quality.. its not high end quality either but its functional and does the job its supposed to do. I like it. I rate it good.
Absolutely fab! We struggled to find something big enough and this is perfect, only put up in the garden so far but going to the beach tomorrow and can’t wait to try it out!!
We’ve only tried this in the back garden so far but it was just as easy to put up as it was to get back into the bag but do yourself a (common sense) favour and note how it’s folded in the first place when you first get it out of the bag then just do the same when putting it back in again – it’s not rocket science.
This is a great size and the build quality looks decent for the money although the zips are more medium duty than heavy duty which I would very much prefer so take care with them IMO and don’t let kids mess with them.
For under 100 this looks to be a very good buy indeed but it’s not made of metal of course so you’ll likely need to look after it to get long-term enjoyment out of it.
We did lots of research as this is quite pricey for a beach tent but after our first outing to the beach with this tent I can honestly say it’s worth every penny! So easy to put up & down by one person, great space to get changed in privacy with plenty of space inside
Used this product today, it was easy to put up and fold away. Like others have said look at the way it comes out. When you come to put it back in the bag it’s so much easier. We used this at a social distancing picnic and we had lots of positive reviews on how good it was and they were thinking of buying one.
Beautifully simple to use, a very well designed product delivered with sturdy construction.
Used for a picnic with two adults and three children, everybody was impressed with how much space their was.
It would be five stars but only three because of the strap. It literally snapped after the third time we went to the beach! The tent itself is brilliant and very easy to put it up but it needs a more stronger case!
UPDATE!
Today (20/06/2020) I just received a parcel/Amazon delivery out of the blue and in the bag it was a brand new case for the tent so I’m changing my review from 3 stars to 5! Amazing customer service! Thank you for the case!
ONE of the best products I have brought on Amazon. Easy to put up..in less than 2 minutes and take down. Folds perfectly back into the bag..lightweight to carry.
I was worried about the tent on the sea front as it was very very windy. Need not have worried this tent stood fast!!.. did not buckle once ..kept the wind off us and kept us nice and warm. The size is great inside..plenty of room for 2 adults and a couple of children. I have a large family sp am seriously considering getting another for visitors and a big big day out on the beach. Dont hesitate with this product…its brillia
Haven’t used this yet, but it is very simple to put up and take down – which is the reason we bought it (since the last one we owned was a difficult ‘pop up’ tent) Looks very nice & a reasonable size for baby to play in whilst protected from the sun.
To be honest I have only had it up in the garden. It has plenty of room inside, easy to put up, all in all a great little shelter.
Space for 2 camping chairs plus 2 recumbent tweens + all our baggage. Not heavy to carry and bag design sensible for putting it away. Time needed to put up / take down very quick: it helps having more than one person in windy conditions – you would only buy it if there was more than one of you, I think – but on a still day then it would be no problem for one person. First day of use was in a stiff breeze and gusts of 20 mph+: we used the pegs with guy ropes and stones in the side pockets and had no problems. Note that it is not a “proper tent” (no flysheet etc.) and will only give limited protection from rain, but good for sun / wind. I felt a bit soft buying a beach tent at all but wife was recuperating from operations on her knees hence wanted a place to sit in a camping chair without sun or wind burn. Elder daughter also at a sensitive age and appreciated having space to change (the front does up for this purpose). Pricier than most tents but overall very happy with the purchase.
Very easy to set up and not too fiddly
Made enjoying the beach trips a lot more enjoyable
Absolutely brilliant. Only thing stopping me giving 5 stars is that the fabric and stitching doesn’t look as strong as it could be but I could be wrong, only time will tell. Very easy to put up and spacious.
Amazing! Easy to pop up, easy to put down (even in some light winds), and just what we were looking for (for dog shade).
Good for the beach, with sand pockets to weight it down and pockets inside to hold your phone, keys, etc.
In heavy winds this would be difficult (as with all tents) and the fold up size is much bigger than an equivalent carbon fibre pole type tent, but you make up for that in convenience.
This product is very easy to erect and is fantastic for the beach or on a picnic. I did have a small problem with it and contacted Easthills and their response and assistance was first class. Sometimes things do go wrong but if everyone had the same level of customer support that they do then those companies would benefit greatly
Great beach tent- plenty of room for the whole family & room to fit a Couple beach chairs with room to spare
Good for beach use with 2 adults and 2 children. Easy to put up. More tricky to put down in a wind. Bag seam parted very quickly due to fabric not lined up on said seam.
I was a little dubious when I bought this beach tent as I have seen people struggle with similar items on the beach. I was extremely happy witht he ease of use of this tent. No exageration, I can erect it in 30 seconds and dimantle it in 1 minute.
I would reccomend it with no hesitation. Comes with everything you will need for use on the beach.
Used a few times on holiday in France. Big enough for 2 young kids and 2 adults to sit on camping chairs inside. Not too big tho so it takes up half the beach. Easy to put up after you get the hang of it. Seems pretty robust so all good after 3 weeks ownership.
Awesome beach tent, super fast and easy to put up and pack down. Size is good for two adults and a child to sit in comfortably. I’m 6’2″ and fairly overweight and it fits me fine. Great to be able to open up the sides for a nice breeze. Zip up porch does the job so you can change inside, just watch that you unzip the corners fully when using it as a front mat otherwise there’s a good chance you could strain and break the zip there. The bag is not as pictured, it’s a drawstring bag which is fine, just a little harder to get the tent into, but that’s no bother. Only given it 4 stars purely because the bag handle broke on the first time we took it to the beach. It might be because I was trying to wear it over my shoulder and I put too much strain on it but it wasn’t very securely stitched in. We usually take a parasol and a wind break to the beach anyway so I’ve found just lashing all 3 together with a piece of rope at both ends and using the excess in the middle for a strap works really well. Apart from the bag strap, this is an excellent purchase and I can highly recommend it, worth the cost and you certainly won’t regret it.
This is a very good beach tent. It is incredibly easy to put up and take down, if there’s no wind it’s a one man job. Lightweight. Good shade area. I have already recommended it to a friend with 3 children under 7.
Nice item, very quick to put up. Loads of space for family and belongings. Would recommend buying different pegs if using on the beach as the 1s supplied aren’t brillia
Just did a quick practice set up before going away later in the month. Very impressed with the beach shelter, very easy to setup; can’t wait to use it on the beach.
Excellent product – using it now for the first time on a slightly windy day on a UK beach, it was up and pegged down securely using the attached sand pockets and pegs in under 5 minutes, and is very stable. Loads of space inside and seems very well made. Couldn’t be happier with it. Hope it lasts as well as it performs!
Like everything about it, it is just what I needed.
I wanted a tall shelter to put reclining chairs in and this is just right for that.
In this probationary period (just received it!) I have given it 4 stars until I see how well it lasts but upon first inspection there is no reason why it shouldn’t last and deserve 5 stars. Upon receipt I immediately tested it out on the lawn and in a breeze so I had some wind to contend with. I followed the clear instructions precisely and methodically and was delighted how easy and quick it was to both erect and dismantle and pack away. Once up I was very pleased at how spacious it was and I loved the blue colour. The blinds for the ventilation windows, tho’ not fully, did keep the wind out sufficiently for me to not be bothered. I am 6’5″ tall which was obviously an advantage during erection and dismantle but simply tilting the shelter slightly on its side during the process would ensure smaller people would also have no problem. When dismantled and folded it went back into its bag without hassle. It’s a great beach shelter and I’m really pleased with it, plenty of space for relaxing in recliner chairs. Just follow the instructions carefully and you won’t have a problem.
Very pleased with this shelter. Used it 3 days in a row at the beach with two under 3 year olds and it worked perfectly. Easy to put up and put down.
So easy to put up and take down, love the colour and the door on the front, comes in a nice bag that has a shoulder strap.
Perfect on a North Devonshire windy beach in April. Was worried it would be difficult to put up and down and bulky to carry. It was a piece of cake and a great size. The pockets on the sides full of wet sand held it in place with no need to use the pegs. Zips up for privacy changing.really excellent quality. Had 2 low beach chairs in there and all our kit.
This is an easy tent to put up and down compared to the pop up tent we had which was such a pain when we went to the beach last year and caused much stress! Good size tent with lovely design of windows, sand pockets, zip up front for privacy. Only downside was product appeared dirty/used when first opening and there are two small rips/tears in the carry bag and a part of the floor is dusty/dirty. Maybe it was a returned item which was used? Or one not looked after in the warehouse… Would still recommend if looking for a good size beach tent.
Had previously bought a smaller version that was a bit small for 2 adults and 2 children jumping around.
This one (Deluxe XL version) is massive !!
Only takes a minute or so to open up.
Bit fiddly to wrap up as have to release the legs but still not a problem and absolutely perfect for beach.
we adore this!!! so easy to set up, was up in less than a minute and down in two. perfect for us to all sit in, two daughters, Me and hubby. great shelter from the wind, great shade, great to sit on instead of towels, we just loved i
Great beach shelter- very easy to put up and down. Plenty of room, but I think you’d struggle to get 2 people sitting on beach chairs inside. Great that you can zip up the door for privacy and to keep things out of view, overall a good shelter.
This is a great, sturdy and easy to set up tent. The door gives you privacy for changing and gives shelter from the wind, Sun and a light shower. Large enough to give me, my partner and the little one shelter keeping the same out of the sandwiches! Would recommend
Great beach tent – so easy to setup just by pulling the cords, well made, lots of features. Easy to store in bag once folded up (bag is not a zipped one per picture but a drawstring one which I think is fine). Worth paying a bit extra for the quality brand and thoughtful features (velcro sand pockets, zip up porch, large pegs designed for sand, large mesh windows with roll down covers, mesh storage pockets, reflective grey groundsheet (as opposed to black) to prevent getting hot in sun, and of course the easy-up/down mechanism!)
The tent arrived midday on the day it said it would. Extremely happy with the fast delivery service.
I was surprised by the length of the package and the tent carry bag did seem a fair amount longer than I had expected it to be.
I was a little bit disappointed that it wasn’t in the zip up bag as was shown on the ad picture, but was in a looser, drawstring instead, but I wasn’t overly bothered by it & it seemed to match the tent better.
Oddly though, upon opening the tent it gave off a rather weird smell, which unfortunately I can only describe as being a bit of a moldy kind of smell. But the tent itself looked brand new and was wrapped up as so too, so I’m not exactly sure why this would be the case. Maybe where it was stored had something to do with that.
The tent itself, I am so over the moon with!! So much so that the couple of unexpected things really do not matter in comparison to how I feel about tgis tent! I’ve left the tent open to air, and will be wiping the insides to freshen it a bit. It’s definately NOT a deal breaker.
The tent it spacious, it didn’t take me long to put it up, and it’s easy to take down again.
And it’s I find it light to carry!
Most of all I LOVE how it looks. Very Impressed with this tent! And CAN’T WAIT to take it out to the park on a sunny day with the kiddos!!
I highly recommend it, for any one considering getting it!
The shelter arrived promptly, was well packaged and a more than met my expectations. Love the shelter but wish they hadn’t changed the design of the carry bag from a zipped one to a tube with a drawstring.
This tent is perfect for the beach. There is loads of room for members of the family to stay shaded from the sun. For a beach tent it is quite expensive and it would be a tight squeeze to fit four people. It would be more comfortable for two adults or four children. It would not buy this tent for going camping. Water would get into it eventually during a heavy downpour. The zip on the tent is a little bit weak and won’t stand up to a lot of pulling or children being rough with it. It needs to be handled gently.
It is perfect for the garden and the beach on a sunny day. The children will love playing in it. It only takes a couple of minutes to put it up. It is very simple. It folds away very neatly as well. It comes with a storage/carrier bag which makes it easy to pack and store.
I was completely surprised at how easy it was to put up and put away again. It is cleverly designed.
