BOTINDO Beach Tent: Perfect for Family Sun Protection at the Beach

Possum: This was perfect for our beach trips. Easy to put up and easy to transport.

pantone76pantone76: The media could not be loaded.  I bought the 10x10, four pole tent for a beach trip. The tent was extremely light to carry to the beach, simple to set up and easy to take down. One person can put it up and down - we did and it was not an issue.

NOTE - you should buy a scoop to make it easier. It does not come with one. The scoop I got was 82 oz. on Amazon. Yes, you will need multiple scoops of sand in each pocket and the extra $5 you spend will absolutely be worth it.

One of the poles was damaged, but we made it work with three poles. I sent an email that week to the vendor asking for a replacement pole. The next day was incredibly windy and a different pole bent. We still used the tent with two poles. Since it was so windy, the tent actually worked better that way and we didn't have any other issues. If it's as windy as the video I added, only use two...

Aenflex: I don't think these should replace a regular beach tent or shade structure. Explanation below.
These are super easy to set up. If it's windy bury the sand bags and that helps, but it falling down is something you'll just have to get used it because it still happens sometimes. Provides a nice shady spot to sit under, although it's not really tall enough to accommodate beach chairs/camp camp chairs. Unless you carry around sand or rocks, you can't really use this at a park or anywhere else where sand or some sort of weights aren't readily available. The stitching is fragile and I'm worried about how long this will last before it needs to re-sewn. We have a Coleman beach tent, and while is has poles and takes a few mins to set up, it's a better experience on the beach for us. We put it up and go about our day on the beach and take it down when we're done. That's it.
I love the novelty of this and that's what sucked me in, plus it's light weight and easy to bring in the beach bag. But it's not the best option for us, and it's wildly over priced for some cheap fabric and a couple poles.

Angi: So glad I bought this! We used this on our beach trip a few weeks ago and it worked great. It took a little getting used to from a setup standpoint but by the end of the week we were experts. Sooooo easy to carry and easy to put up. My relatives who have a huge frame canopy tent were jealous of how simple it is and how sturdy. The key really is finding the direction of the wind, angling the poles a bit to balance again at the wind and filling the pockets with sand to overflowing and stretching further than you think you need to. With all that in place it worked perfectly and stood up to the wind even when canopy style framed tents were blowing over next to us! We also tended to go down to two poles and created a little wind sock type approach when it was very windy. That still worked great for 4 of us to find shade. The only minor disappointment is that it truly is t waterproof. It rained once and the rain came straight through. We are fine with that though as we typically head in with rain. We saw several of these on the beach while we were there. Get it. Used right you won’t be disappointed!!!

Tim STim S: So day one at the beach, we got there late in the day on a weekend so it was packed. We found a small space to park and set up…we tried to set up our newly purchased tent and it was a HUGE FAIL! We even thought about returning it. We didn’t have anything to dig sand with (it was packed in due to rain and driving on it). It was windy, it fell apart and just didn’t work. BUT….we went back to the beach on a weekday and found a spot with plenty of room. We bought $1 small shovels at the dollar store, stretched out the tent, pinned down each corner, dug holes where the corner pockets were to be filled with sand, filled them in, put the polls up and secured them with the ties and viola it WORKED! The tent stayed up in windy conditions and provided cover from the sun and expected. Tip: make sure you dig holes to set the poles…then pack sand in once they are in…makes it super sturdy.

You just need enough room to expand the tent. You would think for the price they would throw in two $1 shovels…but we were okay with buying them. It’s super light and it comes in a tiny bag! Great product…now we are back home and I’ll be washing it. I’ll update...
