Instant Shader Dark Shelter XL Beach Tent

Love this beach tent! It feels more like your own personal cabana on the beach! Very easy to travel and store in the trunk of your car. It fits appropriately 2 adults and maybe 1 or 2 children. Very easy to set up with no help. The ventilation is amazing. It keeps you cool on a hot sunny day. Very much worth the investment especially if you have a family.

I use mine at the beach. There are elements to the tent that are great but overall could be a better design. Like if you want to roll up the screens, there are only two fasteners; one on each end. There should really be a fastener in the middle because when rolled up sags in the middle due to no support and constantly falls out of the fasteners. Another flaw is that the floor of your tent is also your front door. So if front is open it’s kind of your front porch. When it’s zipped, it’s seals tent shut. It is a solid piece of plastic, so no ventilation when zipped up. So if you zip front to keep sun out, sand out on windy day, or mosquitoes, there is no cross breeze. It gets really hot inside the tent when zipped. The design is such that there is not good ventilation through the top of the tent either. So on a hot day at beach, you end up baking inside your tent. If you are not using tent at beach or in hot weather, it will be great. The material is pretty cheap. It’s not a tent you should expect to have for years to come. If you get two seasons out of it, consider yourself lucky. It’s easy to carry because it comes in a nice bag. One great feature is the pockets at the base to put sand in to keep it weighed down. The open and close mechanism is pretty easy too. I would not order this again due to how hot it gets inside. They really should have a large vented ceiling designed just like the three side panels. Also should have a mesh on the front that you can zip closed which works independently of the floor.

We took this baby out fishing this weekend and it did great.
withstood the winds and kept us safe from the sun.
The dark interior of the sun shade makes a difference.
there's cheaper ones out there but as you know you get what you pay for.
this canopy is huge and will keep 3 people comfy. ideally you want beach low profile chairs inside and not the regular camping chairs. great item and you won't be dissapointed.

Used the tent for 5 hours at the beach.
Totally loved it! I am not a huge sun person so it was wonderful to get inside out of the sun and relax.
Lots of room in it. The flaps let the breeze inside.
Super easy to put up and take down.
Carry case is similar to the camping chairs that fold up and come in a bag.
Would not want to go to the beach again without 1!

Used it at the beach when it was extremely hot, it kept us cool and allowing people to stay 6 feet away from us. Very easy to put up, had a little hard time putting it down for the first time but hey I’m learning hahaha. Great buy for this family of 4

The breakdown process is tough to accomplish in wind. The tent sleeve was damaged with burn marks and a small area on the shelter when delivered.

Great tent and even survived very strong winds on the beach - I was amazed. It says it’s XL to hold 4 people but with chairs and beach bags, cooler it held 2 chairs. But still overall a great beach tent.

Order to deliver precision was excellent. First set up was on a windy day (28 mph gusts) in Florida. The stakes held strong and gave us all day shelter.

Its pretty easy, but not as easy as it says/shows. If there wasn't any wind involved it would've been a 100 times easier to set up and break down haha. A good purchase nevertheless.

It is really easy to set up and take down. I am 5�?�?and even though it is a little tall for me, I was able to do it. Take down is even easier and getting it back into the bag is simple. I’m sure over time it will become even easier. This is really large (we have a big family). The normal tent smell is minimal which is also nice and I’m sure will dissipate as we utilize it more throughout the summer. Impressed!
