Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

OK this tent has a bit of a learning curve but rest assured it will withstand the windy conditions of the beach. There are a few tricks that helped us keep it in place when we set it up in the wind. Make sure your poles face the windy side of the tent to keep it open to windy conditions. If you place the poles away from the wind it will buckle the tent. Burry the sand bags when setting it up, also bury the poles for a more stable pitch. I tried to set it up as directed & it only stayed up for a few min. before buckling in the wind. It is great if you bury the bags making it really tight before you pitch the tent. I highly recommend this tent for easy carrying & set up. Only negative is it takes up a large surface area because the bags have to be so far away from the canopy to work. They are an easy trip hazard. We pitched it on WINDY Fort Walton Beach - it stayed up all day with the simple set up alternatives I have shared here.
