3 person darkening modelI bought my first beach tent when my daughter was born 34 years ago. I still have the same one and it has had its day. After a lot of research I decided to give this one a chance.I couldn't fully set up the tent because one of the pole supports was missing. The strap that supported him was torn. Luckily I set up the tent before leaving on the trip, which saved me some frustration. The maximum height in the middle is 48 inches, but the door height is 36 inches. You really have to sit on the floor. In the description it says that it weighs 3.5 pounds the one I received weighed 4 pounds. I chose the darkening model which is not a good idea for such a small tent. I felt like I was sitting in my dog's kennel. In a more spacious tent this darkening model will surely be effective for more freshness. The canvas material is thick and appears to be of excellent quality. The carry bag is compact and I had no difficulty putting the tent back in it. If all the corner supports had been present I think I could have put this together in 5 minutes. It was easy and the instructions are clear. I will have to return it and I will look for a different model. This one is much too small for me.

The product is great for the price. it is easy to set up. I like all features as it is well build. I am just worried about how sturdy the seams on the top look a little bit weak , as If they will tear apart.besides that the tent is great and perfect for the beach day...

I did a bit of research on dark shelter beach tents before a camping trip to the Oregon Coast, and settled on this one. I purchased the 8-person dark shade shelter, intending to use it as a play/rest area of sorts at the coast. Here are my findings:- OR coast is usually very windy. This shelter had no problem with that, held up to the wind just fine, the attached sandbags and sand stakes were super useful!- There are TWO zippers on the floor mat/privacy wall part - I didn't see that mentioned in the listing or reviews or questions - this is important and AWESOME because it means you can zip the fourth side up halfway to be a wind barrier, contain toys or items to inside the shelter, or zip up the wall 3/4 so you can check on napping children!- The dark shelter part works great, is *not* included on the fourth wall - even without the fourth wall being darkened it was decently dark inside (I zipped up the fourth side completely from inside to check it out)- the window flaps have elastic loops to hook onto plastic hooks in the corners, that's how you put the window covers up. There are also toggle/loop tie-backs to contain the covers when you want windows open. Something that isn't mentioned in the listing but to me is a feature is that the toggles used on these are the ADJUSTABLE kind! You can tighten them so the rolled up cover doesn't unroll as easily!- for being a 10.5'x10.5' tent, the bag it came in was surprisingly small and overall it's relatively lightweight! Super compact and portable.- it looks nice, it doesn't look cheap or flimsyThings I should share so others can learn from my mistakes:- as mentioned, the 8-person tent is 10.5'x10.5', so it's HUGE! I ordered this size due to needing it to arrive overnight (at the time it was the only one that could arrive in time). I didn't think it would be that big of a deal to set up/take down on my own, however I was WRONG. In the dry sand, with the wind, and the giant tent, I was lucky to have two other adults helping (the third was tending to the littles). I highly recommend having 2+ people to set up and take down, it will take a fraction of the time it took me to do on my own (which is what happened at the campsite to sweep out the sand and properly fold it to fit the bag).Overall this tent is wonderful, it's made of good materials and easy to use (if you have more than two hands and no toddlers running around!). It was also a very reasonable price for what all you get (it comes with guy lines, metal stakes AND sand stakes, and comes with enough stakes of each type for the tent *and* the floor mat/fourth wall thing). I will have to return this one only because it's too large for me to handle assembly/teardown on my own - instead I will be buying a smaller one from Venustas that fits our family better.Also, I didn't get photos or videos unfortunately, I had the littles with me while in the tent so my hands were full.

Bought the 8 person tent and it is very spacious. Easier to put up with 2 people helping. Grandkids love it. Too bad our 2 dogs decided they wanted in and tore the mesh and put holes in the tent itself. Had to get another 🫤

I love it! Good quality and value for the price. Ventilation is good. Setup isn't to hard. Comfortable. Only complaint is that the little plastic pegs it comes with don't hold in the ground well especially on a windy day. That tent loves to blow away

I really like this little beach tent. It will shield you from the sun as well as protect you from biting flies if you shut the door. The windows allow good ventilation. A full size bag chair won't work as your head will hit the ceiling but the shorter beach chairs work perfect. This is great for one person and very easy to set up and take down. If you want two people, I would get the next size up. Two small people could fit but if one is bigger then it will be tight fit getting two folks in this. Overall a great product at a great price.

I’m super happy with this little beach tent! In its case, it’s just as compact and lightweight as they claim (my 5yo easily carried it without complaint). I set it up myself on a windy beach without any help in about 5 minutes. The only slightly annoying part of setup is that the pole connections come apart quite easily (very different than my high-quality camping tent poles, that never separate unless you tug them apart), so sometimes they fell apart midway through pushing them through the pole-channel along the top of the tent. But I just learned to continue pushing from one end, and don’t try pulling the poles through as that definitely makes them fall apart. By pushing, the poles stay together however they do frequently snag on the fabric, so it does require walking from one side of the tent to the other several times to push them remove snags, then push further, etc. But still just 5 minutes setup by one person even with the cheaper poles. I did already notice a rip along the pole channel fabric my very first time using it, but it’s only a couple inches long rip so as long as it doesn’t get bigger it’s okay. TBD how well the rest of the seams hold up over time. Aside form those nit-picky things, I’m actually super impressed with this little tent! I really like the attached sandbags on either side (worked great during a very windy day), love the sun-reflective fabric on the top of the “mint” coloured one (I’m unsure if the other colours have this too), I love that you can easily clip the window panels up or down depending on which direction the sun is shining, and I super love that the door zips completely shut! It worked wonders to contain our puppy on the busy beach, so she had a cool place to sit with us, and then I was able to zip the door closed and go into the water with my kiddo, and our dog just settled inside the cool tent, inside of barking at us or bothering other families. It definitely doesn’t heat up inside with the big screen panels (even if a couple are clipped up, there’s tons of air circulation) and the reflective material on the outside. And this was during an afternoon that hit 34 Celsius (albeit a windy day so plenty of cool breeze still). But every time I peeked in at our pup she had just settled and was laying quietly. And then great for us as well when we zipped open the door again to get off the burning hot sand and have some partial shade. Anyways I found the beach tent a super worthwhile purchase for our family.

Back in the day this tent was the bomb. Going to all the swank nightclubs and private parties. It was top of the game.But it's a new century. Now this tent is sad and dated. No one calls anymore unless they need to borrow a few bucks. Really shows it's age.Poles are fragile, come apart at the slightest touch. Inserting into foot pedal takes a lot of force. Now the sleek popup tents are eating this old fogey's lunch, laughing at it's ancient pole strings. Some day those young punks will get old too.But today's not that day. Today, this tent is ready for the glue factory. Happy trails, buckaroo.

Good size sturdy enough even in winds and can be made private enough to change in also lightweight
