Portable Beach Tent Shelter with Hike Crew Sun Shade Canopy Made from Lycra Fabric

Pedro I.: Bastante funcional para la playa, su instalación es fácil, solo hace falta de experiencia para aprender como se debe colocar correctamente para evitar problemas con el viento.

eric: Tarda un poco en instalar solo que no cubre los rayos uv aunque te de una buena sombra te sigues quemando

May: Un buen producto, algo estorboso, por lo que viajes en auto y/o autobús funciona, no para viajes en avión, pagarás quizás extra por el peso. Sin embargo es un producto sensacional fácil de instalar, lo único que no me encantó fue la altura, esperaba que fuera un poco más alta, aunque el tamaño se especifica, la foto puede ser engañosa, ya que no tiene personas de referencia.

David StantonDavid Stanton: We just got this in right before our trip to very windy North Padre Island. First time set up for as a bit more than we expected and took 4 of us but now that we understand it, we can easily do it with 2 people in 10 or less minutes. It’s harder to set up than traditional canopies but it seems like it will be better in the wind and definitely takes less space and weight in our car. We were worried it would be loud flapping in the wind like some others we have tried but no sound at all. We got the larger one and are super happy we went that route.

Kelly Ann Hansen: Very easy to setup on Sandy beach with two people

AddyM: We wanted something less heavy, yet easier to put together than what we currently had. After reading ton of reviews and going back and forth on a couple, we chose this one. It folds up so easy in the carry bag, so light my 10 year old carried it with no problems and I know some people move them fabric around, we just moved our chairs to stay out of the sun. Everyone asked us where we got it. Only one crabby person told us it was too big... well we are a family of 6, we have a 13 and 15 year old that are the oldest in our crew and they need almost as much space as we do! One afternoon, while at the beach a storm came up pretty quick, people were pulling down umbrellas and canopy's, we didn't and it got super windy. We buried the sandbags as a precaution and had no problems! When we got home I washed in in my washer in the delicate cycle, threw it over our dining room chairs to dry and rolled it back up and put it back in the bag for out next venture!

Tony DTony D: The media could not be loaded.  When we go to the beach we normally spend at least two full days out there - the only way to survive is to have some good shade for your base camp. In the past I've brought the Amazon Basics 10x10 canopy (bent under the strain of the wind) and then a heavier steel canopy. While the frame took the punishment the canopy itself only seemed to last a year or two and took up a ton of room in the van. This year I took a chance on the Hike Crew canopy for our trip to the gulf. Wow! Although about the same price as a traditional canopy this weighed so much less and was a breeze to pack and to haul out to the beach. More importantly I got the same coverage and it stood up to the winds coming in (8 knots gusts to 10 according to the weather station). Canopy height is a little lower but I'm 6'1" and had no issues standing under it.
Setup is a snap and I...

Amazon Customer: Product is good quality and provided good shade for a large area on a beach. It is big at 12x16 feet so it does sag in the middle. Not a problem if you sit, and it is great to have a big shaded area as the sun shifts and sinks in the sky. We used the black plastic anchors for firm soil/sod or firm beach sand, did not try the sand screw anchor. As there are only 4 poles and each pole is held up by a sand filled bag at each corner, it needs adjustment with anything more than a mild breeze, especially if the wind shifts. Best to fill the sand bags to the max and pull them as far out as possible to stretch the canopy. Best to have 4 willing people and it takes about 10 minutes to set up the first time, 3 minutes to raise again if it gets blown over or too heavy with rain. Simple, well made, does the job, worked for us. Easy to disassemble, pack up and put it the truck of a car. Would definitely recommend if you are willing to spend a few extra minutes to make it as stable as possible.

todd: I wanted something lighter than the 50lb quick shade we have.. This thing looks great in the pic and is lightweight but it doesn't work like the pictures in the real world.

Had 8 mph wind gusts so filled the bags as full as we could. Put the poles up and kept falling down. So I buried the bags and set it up like the pic. Wouldn't stand. So stretched it out almost straight and it finally stood. Now one side would sag and blow inward. I adjusted as much as I could to no avail so I let it be. Every time the wind blew the side blew in and the middle sagged. I'm 5'11" and couldn't walk upright when the wind blew. On a positive note it didn't fall. I didn't use the sand stakes because I was worried that the poles would get bent from how much they were moving.

So I figured that I probably just need a few more poles to get it to work. Tried to figure out how to contact the seller but had to contact Amazon who gave me a link. Received an automated response and nothing since. I figured it was the weekend so gave it 4 days and still nothing. I'm going to return it since I'm better off with a tarp and camping poles. Also upon further inspection...

Yakinhoo: I always base my purchases on reviews so I will be sure to be detailed on this review. The only reason this is not a five star is that it does allows fair amount of sun through as the day goes on. It doesn’t claim to be totally sun retardant but after a day of being on the beach we did have some sunburn lines. Just apply more sunscreen and you will be fine! It is so easy to set up. There are instructions but they aren’t great. That being said, it’s still easy to assemble. It’s up in five minutes with two people. It also withstood some hefty winds you just have to lean the poles. Don’t be afraid to use two three or four poles. We have done so many different versions of it. Make sure to fill your bags full and stretch them pretty tight.
As a previous user of the sunbrellas, I am sold on this product. I will not go back to an umbrella just because the bag is so small and it’s so easy to use. I highly recommend it.
