Review on πŸ–οΈ Sumerice Family Beach Tent and Sun Shade UV Cabana Shelter - Camping, Hiking, Fishing - Lightweight, Portable, Breathable, Windproof - Collapsible (Blue) by Adam Alvarez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money but not that spacious. Well, wind

I don't understand the claims that 3-4 people fit in this thing: maybe if they're small, stackable people. Otherwise the two of us (my 5ft 11", gray hair and big sweet tooth and my wife 5ft 3", brown hair and even temperament) very comfortably together in low fold up loungers. The attached photos show us on the beach after the wind had blown away most of the other campers and all their umbrellas and our shelter was secured with just three simple ropes (actually just one thick rope) and a couple of stakes driven into the sand. . Very easy. Claims of it being difficult to lift or blow down in the wind as mentioned in some reviews should be obvious because. well the wind. We set it up in the morning (no wind) and took it down in the afternoon (strong wind) but when we worked together it wasn't a problem. For the money, don't expect a heavy military hideout; In fact, given that we have two (2) fortnightly holidays in our sunny but sometimes windy location, I think it was good value just for keeping us away from the microwave rays. It's like anything else: treat it with care (e.g. carefully thread the poles through the black fabric covers rather than ramming them) and it'll likely last longer.

Pros
  • Tents and Shelters
Cons
  • Ok, but...
