I just used my tent for a week on a Florida Gulf coast beach, and wanted to share my results. First of all, having dragged off the wreckage of FOUR separate Popups Tents after misreading/missing sudden winds bursts, this tent is almost indestructible. It should last me many years of use. When I first put the shade up, I didn’t fill the bags up enough, and they slide in the higher winds causing the poles to wobble and fall. Bummer. Here’s the secret. Fills the bags all the way up. When you think you are done filling, fill it some more. Dig a little hole/trench and flop the sandbag into it so it won’t slide. You want it pretty tight so the poles don’t wobble in the wind. Use the rubber bands on the top of the shade, to secure the balls on the end of the poles. Double-wrap them. When you lose you rubber bands, replace with rubber band from fresh asparagus from the store. Lol. My wife did comment that it felt warmer under the shade than our old tent, due to the holes letting some light thru. It’s SPF 50, so you gotta apply sunscreen always. Not a show stopper. On two separate days, afternoon storms approached and destroyed pop-up tents around us. Sun Ninja just laughed. Worst case, the poles fall over and Ninja lays flat on the sand. Nothing breaks. I’m looking at another dead pop up now from my balcony. Don’t buy popup tents for the beach. Buy a Sun Ninja. Overall, an excellent sunshade.
