[ I bought this shelter some time ago and I have used it on many outings with zero issues. The hammock is quite spacious to fit my large size( 6' 7 '' and 315lbs). The sewn on bug netting works wonderful! I was on a reason weekend hike with a lot of no- see- um bugs that were never able to break though. I would highly recommend the tree straps they sell to hang the hammock. They give a lot of leeway for the spot you want to camp. The pack down weight is perfect for my style backpacking. Overall if you 're looking for a great three season hammock shelter without breaking the bank this is the one to buy!

I was a little skeptical with varying reviews about ease of setup, but it didnt take a genius to figure out how to angle the shade properly with the wind. Simply set up the tent to face the direction of the wind. If you do that, then it is stable and good for several hours until the wind direction changes, it is a simple adjustment. You would just drag the sandbags and move the poles slightly to face the wind. Setup was really quick. Honestly, the kids could have dont it themselves. It provided enough shade for 4 of us and our folding wagon. I also loved how lightweight the whole thing was, so it would be easy to travel with if we flew to a destination and wanted to take it with us. So far, we have used it for 7 days, every single day, for about 8hrs per day and it is holding up well. I bought the Army green color and LOVE it!

I 'm really liking this compact backpack canopy, especially after buying a different one from a different store originally. They were the same size, style and price, but the first one I bought had mesh panels around the frame, including between the top and wall, leaving a gap of coverage and they would catch in the velcro. After returning that one, I picked up this Quest canopy and was much more satisfied with the sturdiness of the frame and thicker fabric in one solid piece- no mesh! While it's true this canopy does n't stand as tall as a standard 10x10, it's comfortable for sitting under in chairs and the compact size when storing and transporting is worth the trade off for us. It's easy enough to bring and set up by myself for the kids' swim practices, while a 10x10 would be too much hassle. I have been very popular at practices when I bring this canopy. We used this at our first swim meet and set up two chairs and a blanket and it worked for us. I could lift and rotate the whole canopy as needed to adjust the orientation of the canopy wall as the day went on. Almost everyone else had a 10x10, but they also involved wagons and lots of hauling gear around. We were happy with our relatively light load and the minimal space needed for storage at home.

I bought this so I can put it up and take it down myself. The 10x10 is too hard for me. This is the perfect size. I ’ m using for beach, parks& baseball games. I can stand under it I ’ m 5 ’ 6 ” but I can ’ t see out if I do, that ’s ok because I am sitting down watching the kids in shade!

This is a small shelter, about 5ft tall- 6ft in the center. Meant to be like a large umbrella- not to hold events under. Lightweight, fast pop- up and tear down. Great to sit under at kids sporting events, or to beat the heat a small tailgate. Fits inside the width of a parking space without overlapping other peoples spaces- so very versatile. Sits low to cut the sun angle. Sat under it in parking lot before professional sporting event and kept us cool on a very hot day. The backpack feature is nice, but feels cheap and like the shoulder straps will rip/ break one day in the near future. Overall we love this little tent.

This canopy is the best one I 've owned. It is a very sturdy with heavy gauge hardware including double sown seams on the canvas. I used it twice at windy football games and never hinted of sailing off. The E- Z Up 10'x10' is defiantly a two person setup and take down. Surprisingly, it is easy to remove/insert from the wheeled carrying envelope. It's 57lbs heavy.

We have `` gone cheap '' and purchased aluminum- framed canopies previously( for camping), and have been disappointed by the damage to them caused by even fairly modest wind gusts. So this time, we decided to invest for the long term and get a steel- framed model. Although this canopy has n't yet had a major wind test, it seems certain to hold up MUCH better. It is sturdy, well- constructed, easy to set up, and attractive, and we fully expect to put it to good use against the elements for years to come...

I have had many canopy's in the past and everyone of them has lasted a year or two until breaking. This costs a little more but is very much worth the price. The cover is thick grade canvas that will not tear. The legs are strong and long enough so I do n't hit my head every time I walk under the tent( I 'm 6' 2 ''). the bag and wheels may be the best feature of all. The wheels are wide enough so the bag with the tent wo n't tip over while pulling it and it is made of the same strong canvas as the top of the canopy.

I bought the grande online from Dicks sporting goods, picked up at the South Portland store, same day. Set up was simple, stretched it out in an X pattern, flipped the cord under the sand bags and filled with sand. Poked the poles under the front corners, adjusted the bags a little bit by stretching out, then dug a small pit and buried them. I 've been doing this for three days in the coastal winds and it's been getting more efficient each time. Zero issues, stays put for hours with shifting winds when set up properly. Take down is just as simple. Storage bag is compact. 5+ stars, I 'd buy it again without a doubt and have not received anything for this review.

Bought this to use at the beach with my family. Very easy to set up and spacious. We did purchase 2 additional poles on Amazon to make this a full tent rather than a lean- to style. Packs up in the bag easily and held up fine to the breezy beach weather. Highly recommended.

Bought two grandes for a beach trip this wknd and they were simply amazing. Assembly: It took us a few minutes to figure out how to put up the first one but the second pne took us all of 2 minutes! Easy peasy! Coverage: My daughter, grandson and I used one tent and there was still so much more room for at least 2 more adults. My brother, his wife and two kids used the second tent with two beach chairs. Recommend buying? Absolutely! If you want a comfortable, relaxing and shaded day at the beach, this is a must buy.

I 'm so glad I got this shade! It's super lightweight and way better than any other pop up tent I 've used. I used the brand's set up video to help with the initial set up, but once I did it, it was a no brainer the other times I used it. Best part is I can keep it in the back of the car. I do n't have to clear out space like I typically did for our bulky pop up.

I bought this in store last weekend and am already a big fan. I have three girls and we are on the run all day long. I can push my baby in the stroller and still hold both girls' hands while carrying this shade- not possible with a 10x10! It's great shade- even at noon when the sun is overhead! Took me about 5 minutes to set- up the first time and then like 3 the second time. Highlight recommend.

I have loved using this shade in my backyard to cover my kid's water table and splash pad! It is so easy to set up and take down and makes a huge amount of shade! I love how easy it is to adjust as the sun position changes. Its tiny pack size makes it so easy to store. I love it so much, I just bought another so I can make an even bigger shade!

I bought this basically the second I found out it existed. I ’ ve been looking for a portable shade option since forever, but I didn ’ t want an entire tent production and umbrellas weren ’ t cutting it anymore. I wanted something that moved with me, or the direction of the sun, quickly- no bulk, one- person setup. I knew there had to be something better than the just tents or umbrellas. In walks the Shibumi Park Vista... and it was love at first sight. I ’ m 5 ” tall and even I can set this up, by myself, in about 2 minutes. The design is so clever! You can tell that Shibumi thought through the details and practical application. It ’s very lightweight and has a small footprint when you ’ re packing. I can toss it in the back of the car, carry it to our destination, and have shade almost anywhere, without looking like a clumsy fool trying to set something up that isn ’ t worth the work. This is easy peasy and the shade payoff is huge! I would love to see the option to purchase a base for attaching to stadium seating. That would be an absolute God send for track meets.

Totally cool and useful weather pod that's great for windy, chilly, and rainy days when attending my 8 and 10 year old sons lacrosse practices and games. There's adequate interior space to accommodate a comfy( appropriately scaled) camp style chair, mini size cooler, and large tote bag/ backpack. The two side windows, front door, and small flap in the back can be unzipped according to preference and comfort needs. Unlike other weather pods, the front door unzips from the top down rather than the reverse which is much more suitable for control of visibility and comfort. The pod comes with stakes for added stability during increment and/or windy weather. I also like that it comes with a carrying case. The pod is quite easy to open and close once you practice a few times and become more familiar with the process. However, I found it very helpful to first view the video on the manufacturer's website. I highly recommend this amazing pop up pod for protection and comfort on cooler, windy, and/or rainy days. It's also nice when you prefer your own space and would rather not converse with others. It's definitely been an eye- catcher too and I 'm frequently asked about where to purchase this Perfect Pod!

[ I just purchased this in the 9x9. Have used the 12x12 and the 16x16 for a number of years. They ’ ve changed the color a couple of time but features are unchanged in the time I ’ ve been using them. Square shape is only way to go. Kudos for configuring this way. So many tarps are rectangular. For a haystack, sure. Fine. For a shelter, the square has far more setup options. There ’s heavy tieouts on the four corners and lighter ones along the edges. Well spaced. A little stretch to keep it taught.. important in rain. I don ’ t know if they market this as a rain shelter but that ’s all I use it for. The big one if camping next to a car, the 12x12 for rafting. This 9x9 for backpacking. Two lbs may seem like quit a bit to pack for a tarp but covered area is pretty great. And large enough to configure in some version of a ‘ storm ’ mode if conditions warrant. I have a HMG DCF tarp. It ’s 8. 5x8. 5 with no stretch. Definitely harder to get a taught pitch. It ’s light as a feather but that extra half foot per side is more than it sounds on this Kelly. 12% more covered area even though only 6% more length.. ya know if you get all STEM about it... I won ’ t go into costs per square foot between the two and it ’s not even really a fair comparison given the different materials used but if your not into packing a piece of square fabric that costs as much as a pair of skis, this is one of the best values out there right now.

A compact sun shelter is a portable structure designed to provide shade and protection from the sun during outdoor activities. These shelters are lightweight and easy to set up, making them ideal for beach trips, picnics, or camping. They help reduce exposure to harmful UV rays, keeping you cooler and more comfortable while enjoying the outdoors.
Compact sun shelters are typically made from durable, weather-resistant materials such as polyester or nylon for the canopy, often with a UV-resistant coating. The frame is usually constructed from lightweight yet sturdy materials like aluminum or fiberglass, ensuring ease of transport without sacrificing stability. This combination of materials helps the shelter withstand various outdoor conditions.
When selecting a compact sun shelter, consider the number of people you want to accommodate and the space you have available. Shelters come in various sizes, so it's important to choose one that fits your needs while remaining easy to transport. Additionally, think about the intended use; larger shelters may be better for family outings, while smaller ones are great for solo trips.
Yes, compact sun shelters are versatile and can be used for a variety of outdoor activities such as camping, beach outings, picnics, and sporting events. Their portability and ease of setup make them ideal for any situation where shade is needed. However, always consider the specific environment and weather conditions to ensure the shelter is appropriate for your activity.
When shopping for a compact sun shelter, look for features such as UV protection, ease of setup, and wind resistance. Additional features like adjustable height, sidewalls for added protection, and storage pockets can enhance usability. It's also beneficial to consider the weight and packed size for convenient transportation.
