Hi Ben, love how easy the sides pop out. But it does get really windy sometimes at the beach. Even with the guy ropes, would a strong gust push the sides in and collapse the tent? We had to throw away a coleman tent that keeps lifting up in the wind. Now looking for a new one thats easy to set up. But im not sure about the sides that pushes in easily... Comparing this to the Explore planet earth pop up one that doesn't have the push in bits ...🤷
The sides are quite taught, it would take a fair gust to invert them. That being said, at some stage the wind will get strong enough to do this, but you probably don't want to be on the beach if the wind is this bad. ~ Ben
As we mentioned in the video @Jason AU, the supplied pegs are for hard ground. You've got the sand bags for the beach, or upgrade to proper sand pegs. ~ Lauren
This tent is ridiculous. It's suppose to be a quick setup, then you need to put sand. Plus the guyline is going to trip people especially in a packed beach. Then the wind comes in.
Finally someone that knows how to do it! Most people start from the top and wonder why they can’t do it.
Thanks, Carmen, I just followed the instructions. ~ Ben
Just bought mine from Costco Canada and this is a great tutorial
Thanks, Karen. ~ Ben
Thanks for the review. This looks idential to the Old Bahama Bay Pop Up Shelter being sold at Costco right now for US $40
It does look similar, Prepper Boy. ~ Ben
Thank you. This looks just the same as the cotsco pop up tent I just bought lol. Looking at videos on how to close it.
Thanks. Very informative video!
I'm glad it was useful. ~ Ben

If I understand correctly you would not recommend for a single small person to use on the beach due to risk of blowing away?
I guess there is a risk of that on a particularly windy day, LittleBird. ~ Ben
I'd much prefer a beach tent to be set up on the beach
You can set it up wherever you want, we set ours up in the park. ~ Ben
wish you did the actual review at the beach as those pegs are worthless in sand

It's easier than a lot of beach shelters, and these are quite sturdy once setup, unlike many beach shelters. ~ Ben
