AKASO Pop Up Beach Tent - Anti-UV Protection for Camping Outings

R. C. O'BrienR. C. O'Brien: Gave this a test run in the backyard over the weekend and I'm definitely happy with it. It is well designed and easy to operate, and seems as well constructed and sturdy as you can expect for the price point and materials that keep it light weight.

The only problem we had was the clasp for the carrying bag arrived broken, and Amazon doesn't seem to give us an option to have just the bag replaced. Not a dealbreaker, I would still highly recommend.

JRedhawk11: I bought this tent almost a year ago for family trips to the beach or the park and never ended up writing a review. After a wonderful experience with AKASO's customer service, I had to go back and rectify that.

The tent itself is fantastic and easily accommodates our family of 4. It is lightweight, takes seconds to "pop up," and has conveniently-located sandbags that can be filled to keep it from buffeting on a windy day. It also gets great cross ventilation and collapses about as easily as it pops up. Packing up the tent is the only place it can get a little tricky as it is a snug fit to get it back in the carrying bag. Accept going in that you may likely struggle to get the hang of it the first couple of times but don't get discouraged -- you'll eventually develop a system and have a much easier go of it.

Only recommendation is to take your time and not be sloppy when you "gather it up" after collapsing the tent. Fold it up as tightly as possible before putting it back in the carrying bag and that will make things much easier. Having a second set of hands is also immensely helpful so that one person can hold the tent in place while the other works the bag up. Once...

R. BrooksR. Brooks: It was a very windy day on the beach when I tried this tent out. Unzipping the bag, I tossed the tent onto the sand and it instantly popped up into shape. The tent comes with 4 sand bags and I had filled them with sand. I found that placing the sandbags along one edge of the floor of the tent kept it steady enough in the wind for me to be able to fill the 4 outer pockets around the base of the tent with sand. The tent comes with tent pegs and tie-downs too but on the sand, I found the sand bags worked perfectly as you can see in my photos.

The tent seems well made with all the stitching looking good and no weak looking seams. There are two pockets inside the tent to stash things and also a hook in the top of the roof that would support a very lightweight light source. The shade provided is really good. The weather today is 89ºF and the sand was hot under foot. But inside the tent and in it’s shadow it was noticeably cooler. In fact it was so pleasant inside the tent our dogs wanted to take over and make it their space! There is a permanently open mesh panel on each of the tent sides which allow nice ventilation inside the tent and there is also a mesh window on the back...

dewdew: This pop-up sun tent was bigger than I expected. It is described as being for four people and that is accurate. You can actually get four adults out of the sun as long as they sit somewhat close together. Set-up it trivial. Just take it out of the carrying case and it opens itself up. Spread the four corners a bit and you are good to go. Takedown is pretty easy also when you follow the instructions and there is an instruction sheet silkscreened on a fabric panel that is sewn into the case so you won't loose the directions. The rear window has a shade that can easily be put up. The floor is a similar material to a lightweight plastic tarp that should help keep sand out of your belongings. I'd recommend spreading a towel inside to sit on for comfort. There are four small fabric bags sewn into the corners you can fill with sand, and four additional fabric bags with paracord lines included to use to help support the tent in the wind. There are also four lightweight tent stakes (see pictures) - these work great in a lawn but would be useless on a beach. The quality of materials looks fine for the intended purpose and the quality of construction looks quite good..

We have...
