Good sun shelter, easy up and down. Nylon is descent weight and tear resistant. Is not waterproof out of the box, but responded very well to waterproofing spray.

I like the tent being so easy to assemble on the beach. We added sand bags or buckets to hold down the tent in higher winds. You can rotate it easily to adjust for more shade. About 3 average kids or 2 adults and 1 child can easily fit inside the tent without any problems. Our tent was the fastest to take down or put up on the beach. There are no rips or tears after 2 weeks of use too! It is ready for camping now. There is no zipper, and it's open face.

It was a bit hard to tell what this would really be like from the pictures. I had an idea, but was a bit off. It actually is a narrow tent, with a zipper door that turns into the protruding floor pictured. Not a problem, though. In a practice run, it was easy to set up. Experience with many other tents over the years may have helped, but I didn't need the little instruction card. The takedown and repack takes a bit of work, as air pockets can make it a bit of a challenge. During its practical use, we had no problems with setup. We didn't use the stakes, that time, but just weighted the inside. Beach breezes caused a little more challenge on tbe repack, but getting out of the wind it rolled up snug in the bag. We got a good deal on this, and it seems like it will be able to give us so.e good use.

Fun little bit of shade, sets up quickly and easily. Perfect for the beach or an impromptu play house in the backyard for the grandchildren.
