Easthills Outdoors Instant Shader Lite Easy Up Portable Beach Tent Sun Shelter - UPF 50+

 This tent is so easy to put up and take down! It's great if you have kids because it's breathable with the windows!

Ridiculously easy to open and set up, but my 5' son was too short to pop it open (needs to be opened while standing behind it and pulling up). The yellow color is really nice and more like a light cream/butter color than bright. We haven't used it yet other than opening it up in the front yard, but it should be good for track meets and outdoor swim meets. My son is 5' laying down in the back of it with room to spare. We'll try the beach chairs for seating, but the regular height chairs would be too tall.

I was thrilled with this tent until the second day I used it: it snapped and whacked me in the head while I was taking it down. I didn’t do ANYTHING wrong. Either it was a manufacturing defect or this is a cheap piece of junk. Beware! I got an nice sized bump on my head. I’m very disappointed

This is a great product. It’s very light and easy to carry. It can be a little difficult to open at first but once you get the hang of it, it’s very easy. I love the color although it’s very bright inside the tent. We end up draping a towel over the top. Also, it’s more of a sand color than yellow.I loved mine so much that my friend bought the same one in blue and hers is a little more shaded inside.The ventilation is much needed and provides a little breeze on hot days. I love that it has stakes and sand pockets. Most of the time, we have all of our towels and bags etc inside so there is no threat of it blowing away but still good stability to have.All in all very happy!!!

This is the first tent I have ever own and setup so hard for me to compare to other ones like everyone else.But from a first hand perspective it works great and the setup was quite easy, putting it away took some more work as you had to wipe off any sand or dirt (depends on where you use it)Size is perfect to use for you and another person, which is perfect if you trying to go on a date or just spend time with someone special. I will update my post once I use it some more.Update:So far still good, better than I expected, will have to test it maybe more than 10 times to see if any damage starts to happen on the quality of the product.

I initially bought the smaller one (totally worth the buy), but something happened in the sizing with the manufacturer on this....While the same concept as their smaller model, I found this tent VERY challenging to set up. Don't even get me started on the breakdown. When we tried to put it back, the bag ripped... To be fair, the size is wonderful and conceptually, I love this product, but in actuality it's not what you want it to be. To say the least, we returned it as soon as we returned from our beach trip.

I’ve been wanting to get an easy up/down beach shelter for quite some time. I wanted a shelter to use at the beach, where the weather is unpredictable, and you can experience wind, sun, and mist at the same time. After looking at dozens of different shelter offerings, I finally found this Easthills shade shelter. I was attracted to the off white color because I’m a landscape painter, and try to avoid using things that will reflect a color into my painting surface. I loved that I would have the option of using the shelter while painting outdoors, and that I could keep it in the car because of it’s tiny size while folded up.When it arrived, I couldn’t believe how quickly I could put it up. It literally opens in seconds. I am 5’3”, and not very strong. I had no problem opening the shelter and pressing the two magnetic disks together at the top of the shelter, and tying the strings together to keep the shelter open. I’m very glad that I put the shelter up and down in my house before I used it out at the beach. It comes with a nice storage bag, and four tent stakes. I could have left the stakes at home because I never did use them at the beach.The first time I used the shelter at the beach was a huge success. It went up as easily as it had in the house, and once it was up, I walked around the shelter and scooped sand into the stabilizing pockets around the perimeter. The pockets are cleverly made with Velcro on each side, so when it's time to go, you simply pull the pocket open and the sand falls out. Brilliant! There is an inside pocket to keep little things corralled, and it was actually large enough to hold my Bluetooth speaker plus sun lotion, a little sketch pad, and pencils. The actual shelter is wide and deep enough to hold two oversized sand chairs and a cooler with room to spare. I oriented it so that the wind wasn’t completely blocked on the side, keeping the shelter cool and comfortable on a hot sunny day.When it was time to go, it took under a minute to pull the sand pockets open, pull the top discs apart, and fold the sides up along the shelter and slide the shelter into the stuff sack.I’m thrilled with everything about this great little sand shelter. It feels so smartly designed, the color is perfection , and I can put it up and down without assistance. I give it an A+If the manufacturer is listening, I would love to have another shelter in a taller version that I could use when I stand and paint outdoors to make shade and to use if there is light rain. I’d want it in the same creamy white up top, with maybe a grey or khaki lower 2’ where it touches the ground. I’d like it to be about 6’ tall, and be wide enough to accommodate an easel and a human standing 24” behind the easel. There are a lot of plein air artists like me who would welcome a product like this, especially if it folded up quickly and easily into a lightweight storage bag.

Awesome looking, light weight and easy to set up and break down. I’m a 5’ female and have no problem with this on my own.. get it, it’s great!
