Neso Tents Beach Tent with Sand Anchor, Portable Canopy SunShade - 7' x 7' - Patented Reinforced Corners (Red/White/Blue)

We purchased the small Neso Tent for our two week beach vacation. 2 adults and our dog. It was the perfect size for us. The picture was the first day we set up the tent and it was the windiest day of our trip. We did have some issues with it falling down. But by day 3 or 4 we mastered the setup. I highly suggest you watch the videos on their website to ensure you are prepared for setup. I watched the basic setup video and the windy day setup. VERY helpful. Best advice I can give: more weight (sand) + more tension = more stability!! After the first day we had no issues with the tent falling due to winds.The tent provided more than enough shade for us. It was lightweight. Easy to setup. Durable. I believe had we known all the setup stuff on day 1 of our trip, we wouldn’t have had any issues. Practice makes perfect. Like they say in their video… don’t be afraid to stretch the tent. It’s built for it!! I would definitely recommend this tent.

By far....the BEST sun shade I've ever owned. I've owned umbrellas and pop up canopies. But, hands down, this wins all around best choice. The concept is so simple, yet so effective. The fact that you can use beach sand for the anchor method, means you're not toting extra weight or additional supplies to secure this on the beach. It's easy to carry, super lightweight......I'll say that again, SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT. No more sweating your balls off carrying some big, cumbersome, heavy sun shade. Literally, my 5 year old could carry this in one hand. Don't think the low total weight makes this a cheap product. The poles didn't bend or feel weak or cheap. The material is stretchy and seams are well made. The wind was whipping and this thing held up fine. However, if you're an idiot, don't buy this. You want to set the "front" towards the wind (even though most of the time I was at about a 45 degree angle from the wind. Set it up facing the wind (for the most part) and it'll stay up all day. Guys umbrellas were blowing over, people's pop-ups were caving in on the sides, but ours held fast. Set up and take down is soooooo quick. Again, best sun shade by far in this category as well. Aside from all this, it looks bad ass. As soon as we'd set it up, people would start looking and pointing at it. You'd see them grabbing their smartphones to google the web address that's printed on the side. Think about it....you see a family walk on the beach and in a matter of a minute, they've got a sun shade up and functional. Worth the money. Best experience I've had ever with this. You won't be sorry.Let me further elaborate on some specifics:Set up: Spread canopy on the ground (I found aligning/stretching out the front two anchors generally was all I needed to begin). Fill these two anchors with sand. Make front taught, but also realize you want to leave a slight angle on each anchor for best support (not straight out to sides, not straight in front). Then, with the front semi-set in place, do the same for the two back anchors. Then, lock up your two poles and place one under each of the two front corners. I found about 10-12" in was ideal (tee hee). From here, it simply takes some minor positioning of the anchors and poles, but by no means should send you into a 10 minute positioning rage. In a mid to heavy wind, it helps if you bury the anchors in the sand. If you take a break from sipping your beer, you may notice that the anchor bag shows signs of dragging in the sand, this would be an indicator that burying the bag is needed. But remember, dig the hole where the bag was, not where it is or behind it, as this will loosen your setup. Again, common sense, dig hole, drop bag, cover.I did notice throughout the day that I had to make a minor tweak to a pole position or two, but I simply very slightly angled the pole AGAINST the direction it looked like it was going to fall, and voila....instant magic - a stable structure. Some reviews are blowing this up - but again, I am willing to make a no-brainer adjustment if necessary in between beers or building sandcastles. This "trade-off" of tweaking doesn't even register on my radar as it happens so infrequently and it's so minor.......compared to watching the plastic washers and spacers bust or crack off the old-style canopies in a heavy wind, killling small children as a rogue wind lifted a four-legged metal spider off the ground, or have the metal bars on the old-style just bend altogether. How many messed up, broken canopies to you see next to the trash cans on the beach? It's like a freakin' cemetery sometimes.Also, if you have a few beach chairs or little kids, this is a great little setup. It is the perfect height to fit your chairs underneath, a cooler, wagon, and small beach mat. If you're expecting to mingle while standing, or have a rave keeping your hands in the air like you just don't care, then go to a club. I also found the way the anchors spread out, creates a buffer for "your area". And, the fact that the anchor lines are black (contrasts most beach sands or other backgrounds), plus the overall really unique design that draws your eyes down to the anchor points, I have a hard time believing this will ever be a tripping hazard, unless you're drunk, trying to tan in the moonlight, or a teenager texting while walking, or a combination of the three. People on the beach also apparently feel you want to "see all that", so this anchor system at least puts them at some sort of distance where you can't see their pulse through their clothes.Take down is a breeze. Take down the poles (10 sec), dump the bags (20 sec), give it a shake, shove it in the bag. I found it was also really easy to rinse off after use.Seriously, just leaving this review makes me want to go use my Neso again.

Just got back from our beach trip to Singer Island. This tent was easy to set up and provided much needed shade for my 9 month old daughter. I choose the save the reef pattern watch I loved. It stood out against the other beach tents making it easy to find our group. It is light weight, easy to pack up and small enough to fit in my suitcase without taking up a lot of space. My only complaint would be that it did come with a snag in the fabric which I hope doesn't get worse over time.

We loved the tent. We have two small children and for the four of us this was just right. After using an umbrella the 1st year we quickly made the switch. Easy to assemble and as a note 'it's best to fill and bury the sand bags a foot or so as you get more stability in heavy winds. The storage bag didn't hold up well. Apart from that we have no negative things to say. Price is very reasonable.

I don't know why there are so many good reviews. I bought the smallest tent and it was not only difficult to set up with two of us, but it repeating falls down with little to no wind. It's just not stable which makes it high maintenance. Our tent was the only shade down at the beaches. I wish I would have take a picture. Also, the matching chairs faded colors within a week. It is hard to tell in the pictures, but it is sun damaged within 1 week - turning a purple and dulling the blues. I live in Florida, so a set that is able to withstand the weather is important. This fails wind and sun. Hopefully, I get a full return because refunding reviews with this company is HORRIBLE, but I listened to the good reviews. I kept it for the week and took it Juno Beach, Del Beach, Key Largo, Marathon, and Key West. Too expensive to justify a set up that is not stable and faded within the week. I wanted to love it. READ THE BAD REVIEWS.

I love this thing! Went back and forth between a beach umbrella (hard to carry. Hard to stick in the sand. Might blow away) and a beach tent thing (hard to set up, cumbersome) and was just about to give up, when I found Neso. It’s so portable…fits in my beach bag. It’s lightweight. It’s easy to set up…lay it flat, fill the sandbags, pop in the poles…and viola, instant shade. No issues with it withstanding the SoCal ocean breeze and the birds of paradise print makes it easy to spot it on the beach. Initially used this with 2 poles and it was great for 2 people, but recently added another set of poles and fit 3 comfortably while also keeping our cooler out of the sun. When it’s time to pack up, it takes less than 5 minutes. Highly recommend!

We took it in our carry on ont he airplane and there was no problem Just some sticks and the tent. Very easy to install, just fill it with sand and expand and works awesome. We were amazed how good of an option it was if you wanna be cheap and not pay for chairs and just sit by the beach without getting burnt. Definitely recommend it.

Easy to install, recommend buying a little garden shovel to dig your bags in in very windy beaches. Quatily product, for the tenet, cords and sand bags. It works beautifully went it’s well oriented facing the wind. The greatest satisfaction is to see other people getting their sombrillas blown away or worst, turn inside out! I know how frustrating it is, I use to be one of them! We had a wonderful two months in Mexico and we will much more coming! 👍One negative point and surprising one! Was a bit disappointed with the carrying bag. It torn up right below the rope that keeps the carrying bag closed! I think it a double layer bag, it started inside then all the way to the outside layer. Will have to buy a better bag, I guess?

Voy a ser franco con mi reseña, el precio se me hacía excesivo para un pedazo de lona, estuve buscando muchas opciones previo a mi compra, desde sombrillas playeras hasta sistemas similares a NESO, al final decidí que de acuerdo a compras previas es mejor siempre invertir en calidad.Compré el color azul ya que colores muy obscuros concentran mucho calor en su interior, es preferible colores de la gama de los blancos y beige. Me llegó al día siguiente en una bolsa de plástico cerrada, al interior encontramos 2 palos de aluminio desdoblados que al momento de tensarlos hacen un soporte firme con una goma redonda en uno de los extremos y en el otro una pata de plástico, estos accesorios se ven muy resistentes pero tener cuidado de no golpearlos o abollarlos porque se tendría problemas para encajar uno sobre otro en los extremos. También incluye una práctica bolsa para guardar los soportes de aluminio y el NESO de tela expandible con sus 4 bolsas de tela en los extremos.Es muy sencillo el montaje de este sistema, solo basta ponerlo en el suelo y colocar las bolsas lo mas alejadas posibles unas de otras, llenarlas de arena o piedras que estén a la mano según el terreno donde se este, después colocar los palos tensados dentro de la carpa, levantándola con estos, es muy importante fijarse en la dirección del viento para así colocarlos y soporte la carpa sin venirse abajo. Ya una vez levantada la pequeña tienda recomiendo enterrar las 4 esquinas (si es posible, ejemplo: arena) para un mejor soporte.Listo, solo queda disfrutar la rica sombra y la brisa dentro de el. Al final los 5 días que la utilicé fue una maravilla, estuvimos protegidos de los rayos del sol en todo momento y delimitaba nuestro espacio en la playa. Algunas personas me preguntaron que donde lo había adquirido, les ha gustado mucho la idea de lo portátil que es.No es barato, hay que invertirle pero puedo decir que vale la pena cada uno de los centavos que pagas por el NESO, se ven los materiales de gran calidad y se que me va servir de sobra para muchos días mas de playa en el futuro. Además de lo portátil que es cabe en cualquier maleta de mano sin documentar.Hay muchos colores desde lisos hasta estampados y están avalados por una fundación. Estoy pensando comprar NESO mas grande para otros usos.

Great quality, simple design.

Out on Cape Cod looking good and not sun baked.
