This tent is excellent, especially for the price. Our dog, Taco, is small and hates the rain. Since it doesn't have a floor, he can go right in it and do his business. It's quite large, yet unobtrusive. It does collapse with the weight of snow, but once the snow has melted or is brushed off, it pops right back up. I did get extra long stakes for it which keeps it well anchored.

But it was windy on the beach and I was alone so i couldn't get it set up. I did handle all the parts though and would recommend based on quality and ease of assembly.

I purchased this shade tent because I take my dog to sporting events and needed shade from the hot Southern California sun. I used to use one of those pop up tents for the beach, but if you put a chair in those tents it gets pretty crowded, so when I saw this on sale for prime day I decided to try it out.After the initial set up, I can say I’m pretty happy with it so far. It can definitely fit up three to four adults comfortably side by side in chairs with plenty of headspace still. It provided nice protection from the sun and it definitely felt a bit cooler. Although, I wish the mesh windows were higher up so you can feel the breeze a bit more. It seems pretty study with the stakes in the ground/dirt, but I when I tested it, it wasn’t a windy day so I’ll have to see if it holds in wind. I also like that it’s pretty lightweight and compact compared to my beach shade tent. I did get some help setting it up since the instructions weren’t helpful, but I feel like setting it up by myself is doable. Since I only just received it, I gave it four stars for now and will try to remember and edit it once I test it out on the wind to see if it’ll hold up.As I mentioned earlier, the instructions suck and like everyone other review stated, they do not help at all. It was easier to look at the photos on Amazon and figure it out. See below for my suggested instructions.Assemble/put together the poles first. There are two “slots” one along the top opening and one further behind it and parallel to the top slot. These slots are for the long poles. Slide one of the long connected poles into each slot. Do not be tempted like me and put the little black plastic tent clamps on to hold it in place. Instead, pick one side first (left side or right side) and make sure the two separate poles cross and form an “X” so that the bottom of the pole in the back now is the front pole and the bottom of the front pole now is in back. If you look at the X it should sort of mirror the X formed by the tent where the material and mesh cross. At the bottom (where material meets the ground) of each corner of the tent is a metal circle ring and a little “mini stake” with a circle, put the little stake into the middle/bottom of the long pole and do the same with the other pole. That will hold the tent in place. When one side is done, do the other side. Now you can put the black plastic clamps on. Finally, stake the tent into the ground to hold it in place if necessary.

It's lightweight and very spacious. It takes a moment to figure out the opening but once you find it, you're in business. Highly suggest that you get a second person to help pitching it, especially if there is some wind... Any wind at all. But it's very spacious and the wind has no effect on it once it's up. The mesh windows let's the air pass right thru as if it's not there. Takedown is as easy at pulling the steaks up (if you used them), taking the rods out of the pins (in the 4 corners of the tent) and then disassembling the rods, roll it all up and shove it in the bag and good to go. 👍 Great purchase for sunny events.

Great way to have a decent amount of shade. Definitely hard to put up without at least 2 people. But I always have someone to help.

I got this for a trip to Santa Cruz CA. This cover was really annoying to put up. The beaches here have very little wind. The cover was a sail and would not stay staked into the sand. Sliding the poles into the sleeves immediately caused small rips in the pole sleeves. I work at REI and putting up tents is literally part of my job. I would not recommend this, at least for a beach with wind faster than a light breeze.

We had such a hard time with assembly. It did not help that it was super windy. We found it hard to keep the rods connected. The quality of the fabric was good however it just didn't hold well on our beach trip.I wish I wasn't too lazy to send back for a refund.
