Easy to set up, and quick to take down at the end of the day when you’re fried. Actually fits back into the bag fairly easy. Only negative thing is that the bag ripped almost immediately first time out.

Easy to carry and set up. Not that great in the wind. No directions or suggestions included on how to set up.

Wish I had bought the bigger one

During my family's vacation to the beach, I saw another family with one of these and thought it was the coolest thing ever! So, keeping up with the Jonses, I bought one for my family. I'll start with the positive... it's SUPER easy to set up, the sand bag anchor points prevent it from blowing away, it's VERY lightweight (compared to an umbrella or metal-framed canopy), and it provides just as much shade as either an umbrella or canopy. Now the negative... if there is a strong breeze or cross wind, this thing basically turns into a sail. It won't fly away due to the sand bag anchors, but it is rather challenging to set up. The poles provide little to no support against anything stronger than a light breeze and will fall over rather easily. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase, but don't like that the weather has to be near perfect in order to get the most out of this product.

It does not hold up to wind. The sail fliesnoff the poles. Umbrellas are holding up better

Not sure about this, will update the review later. Mine came with a run in the fabric, looks like its going to split open. Contacted Tangkula and they referred me back to Amazon. In the process of exchanging the product. Set it up in the back yard in about 10 minutes, no wind. We will see how the beach goes. Also, it doesn't say that the bungee's are included for the top of the poles, but they are. I ordered bungee's separately since it was not mentioned, could have saved some money if they would put the correct information with the product.

Pretty flimsy when erected and there is a wind above 15mph. Did not take to beach, tried in backyard with the hooks provided and it blew over rather easily as the fabric is stretchy. so, when pulled taught, it still has some elasticity and ends up topping over on itself.

Terrible!! The top will not stay on the poles, the poles are so flimsy the bend in the wind. I’m sending mine back… DO NOT BUY!

Waste of money. Almost impossible to setup and keep it up on a beach. Maybe on a muddy lakeside where you can bury the poles but useless for shade for the kids.

Does not hold up well at all. Zipper on the bag broke a week after having and there are pull marks in the material where the polls have gine
