About the material used, this tent made from a high-quality material which is 50+ UPF sun protection to give nice protection for you under the sun rays.

This is a very good beach tent that fits two people comfortably. It has a ventilation net. It pops up in seconds and you do need the instructions that come with it to close it like all pop up tents! I wish it came with sand pockets, but the picks do a great job keeping it in place. Great item, no frills, functional and versatile.

This is a simple shelter, but ideal for use as protection when enjoying your time at the beach. To set up this tent, you need to erect two aluminum poles included in this tent package, then fill the anchors with sand or stones to provide strength to this tent, so this tent won’t easily collapse under strong winds. Don’t worry, this tent is made with waterproof material, so you can rest comfortably in it.

Great for the beach! Super easy to set up, stands up to moderate winds, lightweight and easy to carry.

Basically, this is the same version as the previous tent, but what makes it different is the pattern design used in this tent. If the previous tent comes in plain colors, in this version you can choose a variety of colors and patterns as your desire. With this version, you can create a more enjoyable moment while playing on the beach with your friends.

Extremely cool sunshade for the beach! Very light and easy to set up. You will definitely stand out from the crowd! Uses natural resources to tie down and helps people keep 6 ft distance

Kelty is here to offer a shelter tent designed with 3 large mesh windows on the side of the tent. With those windows, insects or other elements will not easily enter the tent, so you will feel comfortable resting in it. Besides that, it also has shutters which are meant to protect you better from the harmful sun, and they are also great for giving you privacy when using them. What’s more, this tent comes with a sandbag, stake, and shark mouth backpack for packaging, then you can carry it easily.

The Kelty cabana shelter has been my best purchase of the summer! It's light weight and very easy to assemble. The cabana holds up on a windy days at the beach. I am able to spend the entire day at the beach and not get sunburned. The cabana allow for 3 people.

As you can look at the picture above, this is not an ordinary umbrella, but it is an umbrella specially designed to protect you from the sun. What is the difference? This umbrella comes with a side panel that will provide extra protection that won’t let the sun’s rays come in easily, the panel also has functions to withstand the wind that disturbs your rest time under this umbrella. This umbrella is supported by 4.5 mm steel ribs and 5 mm steel stretchers, making it stand firm and not easily collapse when blown by strong winds.

We used this umbrella for a week at the beach. Saw a few others on the beach but we used ours a little more like an umbrella than a dome. Kept the sun off but allowed for wind to blow through so kept it cool underneath. So easy to set up and took only seconds. I purchased one of those larger sand anchors you can screw in to the sand to hold it in place. I also had some larger stakes that helped. We had a few windy days and our umbrella never budged. Great product.

ZiggyShade offers a shelter that has 3 sizes; Standard (4 people), Family (6 people), and Jumbo (8 people). With these kinds of sizes, you can choose according to your needs, then you can enjoy your time on your beach calmly and of course, enjoyably. With the strong poles, piles in the ground, and sandbags, this tent will stand firmly without making you feel unsafe resting under it. Relax, this tent is very easy to pack because the poles used can be folded, so you can put it in the bag that is also included in this tent.

This was the best investment I ever made! This sunshade allowed me after many trips to the Black Sea coast to finally have some shade and extend my time on the beach. The wind is constantly at 25+mph and it withstood it with no problem while giving us extended time on the beautiful beach! I highly recommend ZiggyShade! The family was perfect to allow my lady and myself unlimited time under the shade to nap on the beach....

I bought this for the beach for myself and three grandsons when they are here. It was easy to put up and take down. Love the sand bags that came with the tent. No blowing away for us and we were visiting the easy coast where was very windy. Never budged. It was great!!!!
