Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this tent with the intent of unsing it on the beach. After 1 day of use, I found out the tent WAS NOT designed for the beach for the following reasons:
1. Low to moderate winds (10 mph) completely bends the tent. I had to install 2 additional tension straps to the poles for it to stand up firmly.
2. The poles/rods are carbon fiber with steel connectors. All steel connectors after exposure to the sand and humidity rusted in 1 DAY!!
3. The fabric used for the tent does not permit the air to flow freely from one side of the tent to the other (causing problem #1). The material seems to be the exact same used on outdoor camping tents (which are designed to keep the air and water out).
With this said, I would not recommend this tent to anyone planning on taking it to the beach. The tent was definitely not designed for it.
The good things of the tent were:
1. Modererate price
2. Very portable (it comes in a small practical bag)
3. Relatively easy to put together.
So beach users, please stay away from this one!!!
