Creative Outdoors Family Size Instant Pop Up Quick Cabana Beach Tent Sun Shelter

This is a great beach tent! We recently moved to the coast and decided it was time to invest in one of these. Granted, we live in the PNW so it was going to be used as more of a shield from wind and rain than the sun, which is important to note because there were a lot of reviews for similar products that complained about the pop-up ones being so light the wind would catch them and knock them over. That's why the exoskeleton on this tent is awesome! It provides just enough added weight to keep it grounded once erected. There was a little trial and error period at first learning to open and close it, but once we got the technique down it was a piece of cake. Total assembly/disassembly time is less than 2 minutes. The bag it packs into is easy to carry, about the size of the ones those outdoor chairs come in. The extended entry mat part is much longer than it looks, leaving room for chairs and shoes, and the inside is very spacious. I carry along a king sized sheet that we tie over the entrance for those times when we want more privacy, and it's barely large enough to cover the opening. We have 3 small kids and a dog that often accompany us and we all fit fine. Would highly recommend.

I love this half tent. My family uses it to watch flag football in Colorado. Something to test and NOTE if you are looking to do this. Get the chair you use, sit in it. Measure to the top of your head when sitting. Do you measure 53 in or less. Then you can sit IN this thing. The other half tents say ### in height but you will not be able to look out or even get into most of them. This type has the raised LIP and you get the max out of headroom. We returned another tent that said 56 in high. But that was the height of the stupid bar at the top of the darn thing. Don't fall for what I did. I sit 52 in high in my football watching chair. This one is the best. For all you bech people, get this one anyway. Look at that bottom lip thing. One small thing to note, my little 5ft 3 wife can not crank this locked. It is a little odd for me but very easy. I would say stronger women can do it, all men. Goes up in seconds. Good place for your stuff.

Great tent! Easy to set up and take down. Held up in a Florida storm that moved through on the beach!

Great size. Easy set up and take down. Love the extra fabic on the tent floor. Perfect for the kids. I was surprised and pleased at how sturdy the tent was too.

I lve it. in 3 seconds goes up and easy to close. used it once and amazing for beach, camping, or anywhere u need to sit and have some shade

Perfect for sporting events!

I've tried out a smaller tent that has no 'exoskeleton' like this one does and it pops up and closes almost as easy as a hamper and just has a similar wire to keep its shape. This tent on the other hand, although larger and with thicker poles to give it structure, is still very easy to set up and store. It fits back into a bag that is very similar size to an outdoor chair; it is just slightly longer. By pulling up on the strings to open the tent, the two middle parts slide together into place, locking the top and the structural poles. This is relatively easy to perform. Separating the two pieces by pulling them apart to break it down takes a little more effort but is still not too hard once you get the hang of it. The windows on each of the 3 sides can be opened or closed depending on what you want. There is even a little pocket on the one side window on the inside of the tent body to hold things. The included stakes also keep the tent in place well. I used this at a sandy beach and it held against the breeze well. My only complaint is that the black/gray bottom gets pretty hot in the sun so you need a towel laid down on the lower part of it if you're going to be laying/sitting on it. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and would definitely recommend it for the outdoor lover or the casual lake/beach-goer.I received this product for free in exchange for testing and my unbiased review.

Easy set up, took under 4 minutes to put up. Provides a large covered area, protected by sun and some rain. I love that the floor tarp extends longer than the area covered by the cabana, it's really helpful at the beach and gives extra room. Package includes stakes to hold the cabana in place. All of it fits nicely in a bag, and the strap makes it easy to haul wherever you go ( beach, soccer games).
