Gorich Beach Tent Sun Shelter for 3/4-5/6-7/8-10 Person with UPF 50＋ UV Protection, Lightweight & Easy Setup Beach Shade Canopy, Portable Beach Shade Tent Beach Cabana

The media could not be loaded. I ended up returning the XL and upgraded to the same dark style,… it comes i. different colors, I think interesting dark does best for carrying solid shade and more secure privacy, but I went up in size to the 6 person so that we have SPACE!!silly americans..cons-Sleeve style pole system is more difficult to assemble than the hook style. You have to have a push pull relationship with the pole, so it doesn’t separate or get caught up in the fabric sleeve. You’ll know what I mean when you put it together so it helps to have a partner.- the windows could use an additional latch hook to keep them rolled up when you want a breeze- it’d be nice to have an overhead bungalow but you could probably get creative on that- XL says 3 to 4 people but two adults as you see in the video we had enough space but if we spent much time in there, I wouldn’t mind more especially if we had chairs. I think mom, dad and a child would be fine.- sandbags are kind of a pain to fill and a pain to empty. You just gotta think like turning a pillowcase inside out. Either be prepared with your hands or some sort of shovel in order to fill the pockets when you set up. Fill the sandbags right away, it’ll help keep everything in place as you secure the screws- OK so the bag is a little small but if you have any experience whatsoever in folding tents, then you’ll be able to get it back in the bag. i happen to have extensive experience in this field, so I was able to get it back in and the screw bag but it was a tight fit so I don’t suppose the set up would last very long befoe seams give way.- cleanup. Well, when isn’t cleanup? Difficult at the beach? I found it easier to get the tent shaken out and fold it as best. I can then not actually get it back into the bag properly until I’ve made sure all the sand is out, because sand will destroy the stitching and the fabric, it is like little glass knives working at destroying the integrity of the tent. Once it is clean, then you can lay it out and fold it properly. all you have to do is measure the bag and then measure the sides of the tent folded out as if it were a square. Other words take the front flap and fold it over so it becomes a square. Mathematically, you should figure out pretty easily how you need to fold the tent and then roll it up in order to get it to fit in the bag lengthwise properly.good God don’t make me do another video.pros- Once you learn how to assemble it, you’ll never never forget- once the sandbags are filled and you have the screws in, you may need to adjust them. The best way to do it is to screw on an angle away from the tent pole. So don’t go directly down but at least 30° n the away direction.- I still haven’t set up the larger version but I believe we’ll be able to stand up in it no problem, the XL, we kind of had to hunch, but could sorta stand up- the entranceway is a very nice piece because it can be staked down and as you see in the video it’s used to get the sand off of our feet before we get inside- The windows are positioned in such a way that you can block the sun virtually anytime a day in order to keep your cooler or yourself, in the shade- if you need privacy, say to maybe, I don’t know, relieve yourself perhaps, you could easily zip up the front if you needed to, but being able to see out each side of the window. This makes bathroom trips really easy. Now if you really need some privacy for some other reason, you can zip that sucker up and nobody will know what’s going on in there.- the sand is surprisingly easy to get out so I would recommend broom, soft and wide. I used a towel, but you will end up sweeping sand out of this thing no matter how hard you try to keep it out. The fabric is very cooperative in whatever direction you swish it.- I really do recommend bringing a bucket and filling it with water to rinse your feet and then a towel specifically to dry them before entering. Definitely bring a blanket you don’t want to lay directly on the tent itself in my opinion and if you’re going to put chairs or cots in there, expect that it’s not going to last very long, flooring wise. you really need to enforce it with the tarp on the bottom first, and then a tarp on the inside. Then maybe furniture would be OK.- I’ve used this tent when it was pretty chilly outside and it made a huge difference in keeping us warm while we got to watch the sunset over Chicago and Lake Michigan from the Indiana Dunes.This video was taken at Mustang Island near Corpus Christi, Texas.

WE LOVE IT! Took it out for the first time today and it exceeded expectations. The only negative is how sizing is marketed. We got the 8-person tent which fit 3 of us (adults) perfectly, four would have been crowded. And the temp inside stayed cooler than outside thanks to the UV material. Just wish the storage bag was bigger. No matter how we rolled it back up, there’s no way it will fit back inside the bag; it’s ok though, this tent made our day at the beach 10x more enjoyable in high heat.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I picked this product after looking at video comparisons with similar products and it seems to have more desirable features. It is also lightweight and comes in a handy carrying bag. It was somewhat difficult to set up at the beach on a windy day vs the backyard video instructions. You will need longer stakes if you want them to stay in the sand despite using the sand bags that are attached to the tent and which I love.

For all the comments saying it was hard to put together, I really hope you are joking. This took MAYBE five minutes? IT was super easy to set up and its WAY bigger than I imagined, yes I seen the dementions, but I am bad at realizing what that is in real life LOL. Anyways - I got this for the purpose to put in a grassed area in my backyard. I have a few stray cats I take care of and I wanted a place for them to cool off besides the shed. They are loving it. This would be a great thing for the beach, park, etc just to get out of the sun, totally beats an umbrella. If you are thinking about it, just get it! The pet ones that look just like this are twice as expensive for no reason!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This tent was a splurge for the beach vacation with my daughter. We put it up ourselves with no problem on a slightly windy day. It was large enough for both of us and all our stuff, and made staying at the beach all day possible. We loved it! Great price, too!

Great item. Bought for a cruise stop on an island. Fit easy in luggage and perfectly in my beach bag. I had shade and didn't have to spend $$$$ on a cabana. Will buy a light weight pad to soften the sand. Bought the 4/6 person witch will fit our high back sand chairs easily when traveling local. My Husband was proud of me. I found a Bargain.

Unfortunately, I ordered this earlier in the year to be prepared for a summer beach trip so I didn't have the occasion to set it up until this past week, and now the window for return is closed. Otherwise, I would have returned it. It seems to be of okay quality and is a decent size. However, very difficult to put together. I was watching people on the beach put together their Shibumi shades and they had it up and then later taken down in all of 3-4 minutes. It took three people 30 minutes to put this thing together and then about the same time to disassemble it. Unless you're a glutton for punishment, take a pass on this and buy something much simpler.

We bought the 3 person tent and I’d say if all 3 are small and sitting up you could do it but otherwise plan for 2 people to fit comfortably. Easy to set up and break down. Love that it has vented windows with shades that can be easily closed. Haven’t tried to change in it yet but theoretically it could be done since the front are zips closed as well.
