Please read my review!
Picture shows our tent collapsed for the incoming rain shower.
Ok. Forget all other reviews. Read mine. Me and the family went on vacation to Florida. We thought this “tent” would be our best option. We couldn’t have been more right! Two Adults and two teens practically lived under this while we spent our week on the beach. It worked perfectly!
I will share some tips and tricks we used while we were on the beach.
1. The whole setup takes literally 2 minutes to setup. It doesn’t have sandbags that you fill up. It has a piece of flat fabric that are able to be cinched into a sack. So you lay the fabric out, lay a bunch of sand on top of it, and then just cinch the sack up around the sand. It really takes like 10 seconds to do each bag. The awesome part is when you untie the bag and dump the sand out, you can shake the fabric and get all the sand off of it before packing it up.
2. Our stay at the beach was interrupted several times by little showers that came through the area. Instead of taking the Neso with us when we left we decided to leave it there on the beach. We took our chairs and collapsed them down and put them under the Neso keeping everything flat as possible. We took the poles down and stretched out the sandbags. The storms came through, our Neso stayed right there on the beach, and all we had to do was put the poles back up when we got back out to the beach. I will say this.... ITS NOT WATERPROOF! Don’t leave valuables under it thinking they will stay dry. You shouldn’t leave valuables on the beach anyway.
3. When it gets wet, it will sag a little. It drys out quick and gets back to its normal height.
4. Wind.... this is what most people on the beach were asking me about (Yes you will get asked questions when people see it. A guy next to us that watched us set it up was so impressed, he ordered one at that moment). It will stand up to average wind at any angle. It will stand out to a little above average wind if you don’t mind it hitting you in the head every once in a while. If the winds get rough, we found that you can take the poles down and put them up where the “opening” is facing the wind. This will allow it to stand up to higher winds. We did take it down one time due to multi direction winds coming through the beach and hotels. It can’t really take swirled winds.
I highly recommend this product! It’s light weight and very portable. You won’t be disappointed!
Ours did come with a loose thread on the seam of the tent. It’s not a big deal if yours comes like that. Snip the string and dab some clear fingernail polish on the loose seam. Done!
