UMARDOOFamily Beach Tent Canopy Sun Shade Portable 10×10FT, Large Wind Resistance Beach Sun Shelter Easy Setup with Packable Carry Bag for Outdoor Travel UPF 50+ (Blue)

The initial delivery was less than spectacular. The item is lightweight, and packed up small. Upon opening the whole kit, we noticed a run in the material. It looked similar to a run in a stocking, hosiery. We were disappointed, as the run grew a little upon stretching the fabric. These shelters are highly effective due to the stretchy material. We felt a bit let down.I contacted the seller via Amazon. I received an immediate response asking for my name, phone and address. They looked up my order, apologized and stated they would rectify the problem. They stated it would take a couple of weeks due to high volume of shipping.Fast forward: we received a replacement unit. Same color and configuration of the original order. Thank you. Great customer service.We used the damaged shelter in the meantime. Setup it's easy. We watched a couple of videos, and learned that if this is done properly, the shelter is solid on windy days. So solid that it outperforms our larger, hard leg, square shelters.Set the fabric out on the ground, and extend the bags 45° from each corner, as far as they will allow. Fill with sand, dirt or rocks. Fill some more. No, really really fill them!! Lol. At this point extend the bags farther out, stretching the material a bit more. Assemble the poles, and place them in from the corners a little bit. We did best by putting them about 6-12" in from the corners, and equidistant from the sides. We use all four poles when the sun is overhead. We use two poles, and drop one side, when the sun is low.Overall, we are very happy with this kit.LightweightSmall packageLooks great.. many complimentsgreat shelterSturdy in windsGreat customer service.Highly recommended

This beats my red sport umbrella hands down. Light weight easy to put up. I purchased this as used in December 2020 for $87. After looking at all the different manufacturers and prices all over the board I realized all are made of Lycra. Some have cords for the sandbags some use Lycra. So why spend $160 vs $87 or $119 (current price).Bottom line this works. We had 15 to 20 mph wind and it held up. The first day I stretched it and it-was flapping slightly in the wind. I was afraid I would rip it if I stretched it further. Next day I REALLY STRETCHED IT. And it didn’t flap in the wind. Make sure you fill the bags to the max. Even fully filled the bags will move inward when you install the poles. Grab the TOP section of the poles not the middle or the bottom to prevent breaking or bending the pole and place 1-1 1/2 ft. from the corner. Then push the poles vertical. Easy for one person to put up. I found it easier to install the bungee around the ball when the pole was chest high and then put the pole vertical.I was concerned about sun protection since you could see the clouds thru the canopy. My wife didn’t use sunscreen the entire week and got a light tan. So yes it provides sun protection.This is lighter than my red sportbrella and easily fit 6-8 people comfortably. I also measured the distance between the poles when erected. I purchased the 10x9 model and the poles were 11ft apart on the long side and 8 1/2 ft on the short side. You can also install on grass using tent stakes or concrete using bricks,rocks or anything heavy.My poles were sturdy so I don’t know how people break them. Probably holding the bottom or middle when installing. Why carry a 40 pound large bulky pop up that needs at least 2 people to set up? Did not have any rain so I cannot comment on waterproof. I know it’s not completely waterproof but how much will be revealed in future usage. Only downfall I have found. Some of my wife’s purses are larger than the carrying bag for the Umardoo! I also prefer the bungee cord design vs the all Lycra new design.I hope this review is helpful for people on the fence about purchasing one. A lot of people stopped by and asked about it, took pictures of the Umardoo logo to purchase from Amazon. You can spend a little or spend a lot for the same sun shelter. You decide. Would buy again definitely.

It provides plenty of shade and is very easy to set up. Even in a light wind it stands up well. However, the only way this stands is if you have sand/rocks/or some other form of weight to put in the bags. I thought they were there as extra support to the structure but there is no structure. It’s just a large blanket with 4 poles. Nothing supports the poles to keep them standing up. If one of the corner bags isn’t grounded properly the entire structure will come down.

This is a very good deal, I don’t usually write review but this tent is sturdy, light and easy to install. Was able to take it with me out of town coz it’s light and easy to carry.

I purchased this for our beach vacation. One part broke after 1 day and one part broke after 4 days. The 30 day return window closed before I was able to use it and now that Amazon's customer service sucks, I have no recourse for resolving the issue except leaving a poor review and hoping the seller sees it. I will update the review if there is a resolutionWe used this shade 4 times on a 5 day beach trip. Day one, we could not get it set up (2 adults). Day 5, (after watching MORE videos), we got it set up (2 adults/2 kids). On the first day, 2 of the poles bent. They were usable the rest of the time, but you would expect them to not bend on the first use. Also, by day 5, the carrying case had a large rip in it where the strap attaches to the bag. Most of the time we carried into the beach on our wagon, and weren't even using the straps. When we got it up, it did work, though in high wind I would highly recommend only putting up 2 poles. $100 for a shade should last more than one trip. If I had it to do over again, I'd buy the name brand Neso one. The poles are longer, the designs are cuter, and they probably have better customer service.At this point, if the seller can replace the poles and carry bag, we'd keep this one, and give it 4 stars.
