Classic Beach Tent – Easy-Setup UPF 50+ Sun Shelter (GDJ)

Very easy to set up for beach newbies. Pretty much the same as setting up a camping tent. Easy to put away, although we did that later instead of at the beach. Fit right back into the bag. Great for taking a break from the sun. Recommend for anyone who doesn’t need something too big.

Good size for Two people! Easy to assemble or disassemble! Light weight

Very nice, easy to put up, durable, nice packing bag

Once you get used to folding it, it really is simple to put away even by yourself. I would definitely recommend another person to set up but could be possible once you practice. With the sand being hard, would highly recommend to bring a hammer to get the stakes into the sand. This is very easy and convenient to have to move without taking it down. This is great for 2 adults, a toddler, and to keep beach bags in it. It was very comfortable to keep the sun out. I would definitely recommend a bigger size for more people. I had this all summer last year and had no issues with any rips, tears or breaking. I will always have this for summer activities!

Ordered this 4-person tent and used it at the beach a couple days after we received it. It assembled easily enough, but one of the support poles broke (actually the elastic cord that holds the pole segments broke). The poles seem to be a weak point in the design ... otherwise it assembles and disassembles very easily, and I love the assembly directions are actually sewn into the storage bag. Oh, and Gorich replaced the broken pole under warranty, yea!

Bought this tent to bring my dog to the beach who doesn't like the water and it worked great! It's a great size - we were able to fit two adults and out small dog in comfortably! It was incredibly easy to get together and the anchors worked great int he sand. The zipper worked fine and I really liked the sections that can be used to block the sun if needed.It comes in a really handy little bag that is super compact to transport it around. However getting it back in the bag after use is a little challenging, but can be done!

This tent is a great deal for the beach. It's very easy to set up and break down. The amount of people that they tell you will fit in it is not accurate. We are average size Americans and we sit in a low style tommy Bahama Beach chairs, we also have a large cooler along with backpacks full of gear and Beach fun activities .So I would recommend getting at least two sizes bigger than whatever they recommend you to get in the advertising for The amount of people you will be using it with regularly. All in all, it's a fantastic product. Wish I had got it sooner. I also use the large sport-brella for added shade And outstanding wind protection. The quality of the product is great. The best part is how compact it is to walk down to the beach with. My umbrella is kind of awkward compared to the tent, but it's worth it. Shade and shelter from the wind is everything for a nice long day at the beach. I would have given it a perfect score if it had a little bit more sun protection for my legs as they stick out from under the opening of the tent. But that really is a minor point. Probably should give them five stars.

I ended up returning the XL and upgraded to the same dark style,… it comes i. different colors, I think interesting dark does best for carrying solid shade and more secure privacy, but I went up in size to the 6 person so that we have SPACE!!silly americans..cons-Sleeve style pole system is more difficult to assemble than the hook style. You have to have a push pull relationship with the pole, so it doesn’t separate or get caught up in the fabric sleeve. You’ll know what I mean when you put it together so it helps to have a partner.- the windows could use an additional latch hook to keep them rolled up when you want a breeze- it’d be nice to have an overhead bungalow but you could probably get creative on that- XL says 3 to 4 people but two adults as you see in the video we had enough space but if we spent much time in there, I wouldn’t mind more especially if we had chairs. I think mom, dad and a child would be fine.- sandbags are kind of a pain to fill and a pain to empty. You just gotta think like turning a pillowcase inside out. Either be prepared with your hands or some sort of shovel in order to fill the pockets when you set up. Fill the sandbags right away, it’ll help keep everything in place as you secure the screws- OK so the bag is a little small but if you have any experience whatsoever in folding tents, then you’ll be able to get it back in the bag. i happen to have extensive experience in this field, so I was able to get it back in and the screw bag but it was a tight fit so I don’t suppose the set up would last very long befoe seams give way.- cleanup. Well, when isn’t cleanup? Difficult at the beach? I found it easier to get the tent shaken out and fold it as best. I can then not actually get it back into the bag properly until I’ve made sure all the sand is out, because sand will destroy the stitching and the fabric, it is like little glass knives working at destroying the integrity of the tent. Once it is clean, then you can lay it out and fold it properly. all you have to do is measure the bag and then measure the sides of the tent folded out as if it were a square. Other words take the front flap and fold it over so it becomes a square. Mathematically, you should figure out pretty easily how you need to fold the tent and then roll it up in order to get it to fit in the bag lengthwise properly.good God don’t make me do another video.pros- Once you learn how to assemble it, you’ll never never forget- once the sandbags are filled and you have the screws in, you may need to adjust them. The best way to do it is to screw on an angle away from the tent pole. So don’t go directly down but at least 30° n the away direction.- I still haven’t set up the larger version but I believe we’ll be able to stand up in it no problem, the XL, we kind of had to hunch, but could sorta stand up- the entranceway is a very nice piece because it can be staked down and as you see in the video it’s used to get the sand off of our feet before we get inside- The windows are positioned in such a way that you can block the sun virtually anytime a day in order to keep your cooler or yourself, in the shade- if you need privacy, say to maybe, I don’t know, relieve yourself perhaps, you could easily zip up the front if you needed to, but being able to see out each side of the window. This makes bathroom trips really easy. Now if you really need some privacy for some other reason, you can zip that sucker up and nobody will know what’s going on in there.- the sand is surprisingly easy to get out so I would recommend broom, soft and wide. I used a towel, but you will end up sweeping sand out of this thing no matter how hard you try to keep it out. The fabric is very cooperative in whatever direction you swish it.- I really do recommend bringing a bucket and filling it with water to rinse your feet and then a towel specifically to dry them before entering. Definitely bring a blanket you don’t want to lay directly on the tent itself in my opinion and if you’re going to put chairs or cots in there, expect that it’s not going to last very long, flooring wise. you really need to enforce it with the tarp on the bottom first, and then a tarp on the inside. Then maybe furniture would be OK.- I’ve used this tent when it was pretty chilly outside and it made a huge difference in keeping us warm while we got to watch the sunset over Chicago and Lake Michigan from the Indiana Dunes.This video was taken at Mustang Island near Corpus Christi, Texas.
