Seaside Tent Solar Shelter – Sport Umbrella – UV Safety and Water-Resistant with Carry Bag – Shade Cover for Households by Wakeman Outside

Hard to set up at first, but once you do, it gets easier
I purchased this shade tent because I take my dog to sporting events and needed shade from the hot Southern California sun. I used to use one of those pop up tents for the beach, but if you put a chair in those tents it gets pretty crowded, so when I saw this on sale for prime day I decided to try it out.After the initial set up, I can say I’m pretty happy with it so far. It can definitely fit up three to four adults comfortably side by side in chairs with plenty of headspace still. It provided nice protection from the sun and it definitely felt a bit cooler. Although, I wish the mesh windows were higher up so you can feel the breeze a bit more. It seems pretty study with the stakes in the ground/dirt, but I when I tested it, it wasn’t a windy day so I’ll have to see if it holds in wind. I also like that it’s pretty lightweight and compact compared to my beach shade tent. I did get some help setting it up since the instructions weren’t helpful, but I feel like setting it up by myself is doable. Since I only just received it, I gave it four stars for now and will try to remember and edit it once I test it out on the wind to see if it’ll hold up.As I mentioned earlier, the instructions suck and like everyone other review stated, they do not help at all. It was easier to look at the photos on Amazon and figure it out. See below for my suggested instructions.Assemble/put together the poles first. There are two “slots” one along the top opening and one further behind it and parallel to the top slot. These slots are for the long poles. Slide one of the long connected poles into each slot. Do not be tempted like me and put the little black plastic tent clamps on to hold it in place. Instead, pick one side first (left side or right side) and make sure the two separate poles cross and form an “X” so that the bottom of the pole in the back now is the front pole and the bottom of the front pole now is in back. If you look at the X it should sort of mirror the X formed by the tent where the material and mesh cross. At the bottom (where material meets the ground) of each corner of the tent is a metal circle ring and a little “mini stake” with a circle, put the little stake into the middle/bottom of the long pole and do the same with the other pole. That will hold the tent in place. When one side is done, do the other side. Now you can put the black plastic clamps on. Finally, stake the tent into the ground to hold it in place if necessary.

Perfect for the beach
It’s lightweight and very spacious. It takes a moment to figure out the opening but once you find it, you’re in business. Highly suggest that you get a second person to help pitching it, especially if there is some wind… Any wind at all. But it’s very spacious and the wind has no effect on it once it’s up. The mesh windows let’s the air pass right thru as if it’s not there. Takedown is as easy at pulling the steaks up (if you used them), taking the rods out of the pins (in the 4 corners of the tent) and then disassembling the rods, roll it all up and shove it in the bag and good to go. 👍 Great purchase for sunny events.

Soccer game saver
Fit my 4 kids under this tent with a blanket and games for one of my kiddos soccer and it’s perfect. Great quality. Easy to assemble. Pretty blue. Great shade and warmth from wind. Easy to put up. So worth the money Easy to fold and put up

Provides nice shade
I got this shade tent for my kiddo to have shade while playing with her water table. It’s bigger than I thought and easier to put up with 2 people. I like that it folds up and fits in a carry case. I am overall pleased with this item.
