Neso Portable Beach Tent Sun Shelter with Sand Anchor - Lightweight Beach Shade Canopy - Easy Setup for Family Outings - Patented Reinforced Corners - UPF 50+ Sun Protection - 7 x 7ft - Aqua Fronds

This is my second Neso Tent, and I’m still a big fan. I’ve taken it to Hawaii for the past four years, and it’s held up beautifully, lightweight, easy to set up, and perfect for travel. I highly recommend getting the second set of poles; it makes the tent sturdier and gives you better shade coverage. Great quality and worth every penny.

I purchased this tent in 2017. I thought others might appreciation a long-term review of how this holds up over time. We have used this tent many times, but we are not daily beach goers. It has probably been used at least 5 times per year, give or take. After all of this time, the bag, poles, lines, and sandbags are all still in good shape. The tent fabric elastic is starting to get shot, so you can see ruffled/thinned fabric where the poles normally push against the fabric. This is causing me to search for another tent for this summer. I have to say this tent has served us well. It can handle more wind than a traditional umbrella, and offers more square feet of shaded space as well. Setup is easy if you are good with tents and wind direction. Given that, I would not recommend it for someone that doesn't intuitively understand how to angle the poles against the wind and ropes. It does occasionally fall if there's a huge gust of wind, and sometimes the pole angles need to be readjusted. It's not rocket science, but I've seen some people struggle with these aspects. If you are comfortable with these factors, setup takes only a few minutes. I am repurchasing another unit that is slightly bigger with more poles and sandbags. However, if you want one this size, I think this tent is high quality. If anything lasts more than a couple of years these days, I am impressed.

Just got back from our beach trip to Singer Island. This tent was easy to set up and provided much needed shade for my 9 month old daughter. I choose the save the reef pattern watch I loved. It stood out against the other beach tents making it easy to find our group. It is light weight, easy to pack up and small enough to fit in my suitcase without taking up a lot of space. My only complaint would be that it did come with a snag in the fabric which I hope doesn't get worse over time.

This has been my favorite beach tent I’ve ever owned. We have the 7x7 and it has protected us from the Maui sun 2 years in a row now, for next year I’m considering the 9x9. Setup is crazy easy, but let me give you advise. The sand bags work, but I never even kept them on the tent, I immediately upgraded to their sand screw/ and upgrade kit. It’s even more sturdy and truly becomes a one person job. No wind can take it down and instead of nylon strings, it has proper straps. Using those hooks with the carabiners is such a pleasure to set up and takes me about 3 minutes. I can’t speak of it highly enough. Can’t wait to set it up next year again. Oh and also. It packs super easy, and it’s lightweight.

Our usual beach trip includes 3 or 4 families (about 20 people) and a big pop up canopy. This year our trip was limited to my husband and I, our four adult boys, one daughter in law, and one small granddaughter. We did not have room to take the usual pop up canopy, so I searched for something more compact so that we could have a little shade, especially for our granddaughter. I came across this portable beach tent and purchased it mostly for it's packing size and price. We did not open it and set it up until the first day we were on the beach. I loved that the instructions were right on the outside of the carry bag and were easy to follow. The tent was very easy to set up. The first day 4 of us set it up in a matter of 4-5 minutes. We did have to readjust the poles a couple times throughout the day - I think because we did not stretch the tent enough and have the sand anchors in enough of an "X". The second day 3 of us set it up so quickly (in about 2-3 minutes) that we had 6-8 adults in the next canopy over standing there staring and pointing at us. On this day and every day after we made sure to pull the tent a little more than the first day and we never had to touch the poles again until it was time to take it down. I do suggest setting the front towards the wind and having a small shovel to aid in filling the sand anchors. We did not get the tent back in the bag as nicely the first day, but after that we figured out how to get it all packing in nicely. There was plenty of shade for our granddaughter to get out of the sun. We had as many as four beach chairs with adults sitting in them under the tent, comfortably. The shaded area does move as the sun moves, but that is the case with any canopy and can be solved by moving your chair. Easy to carry from the car / condo to the beach with the shoulder bag even when your hand are full with other stuff. This would be a great tent to line up multiple ones side by side for larger families or multiple families traveling together. The only draw back that I could see is that I would like a different way to anchor this for everyday use in grass and not just in the sand. I will definitely purchase this item again, maybe even for my son and his family to have their own next year. I would definitely recommend this tent to others looking for a little shade to take a break in. Small enough to pack in a suitcase if you are flying instead of driving.

We try to spend as much time as possible when we get to go to the beach. Using the Neso Tent, we had great sun protection and a cool place to sit for over 6 hours, with more shade than three umbrellas combined for the Neso 1 Tent and more shade than 5 umbrellas with the Neso Grande (we ordered two tents for our large family) - with a lot less hassle to set up. Through use over two of the windiest days, the tent withstood strong gusts of wind while other umbrellas were flying down the beach. I wish I found this years ago!! I had people coming up to me asking where I got it all weekend. I would suggest ordering the Neso Grande as it is only a little more expensive and you get a lot more room. They come in lots of bright colors, so my kids always knew where to find our stuff and people meeting up with us could find us easily as well. Set Up - It only took a minute to set up and was easy enough for my kids to put together. The shelter and sandbags are made with quality materials that look like they will hold up over time. The corners of the tent are reinforced with heavier material so that they are stronger and will not tear, which I did not see on any of Neso competitors. The poles have foam balls at the ends that hold up the tent so that they do not tear through the material. After taking down the tent, the poles did not leave a mark in the material, even though it was pulled taut for hours. Usability - The tent comes with a dual-pocket carrying bag that is made with strong material with a strap to put over your shoulder. One pocket contains your tent connected to the sandbags, the other pocket contains the two poles. The entire tent breaks down to fit into a bag that is about the same size or smaller than a school bag and weighs less than 5 lbs. It is so much easier than an umbrella, I wish I found this years ago and stopped having to mess with angling the umbrella to get the most shade and chasing the umbrella when there is a gust of wind. Customer Service - I ordered two tents and they both arrived in two days. There are a bunch of videos on their site on how to set up your tent, how to reinforce the sandbags in high winds and how to angle the poles to withstand the highest of winds. Even with all that content on their site, I also received two emails asking how if I was happy with my purchase with instructions on how to get the most use out of my tent and if I had any questions - directing me to call the seller's company line. My family is really happy with our purchase and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who likes to spend time outdoors. Side note- while we use ours at the beach, I've had friends say they use it to go camping and instead of filling the bags with sand, they fill the bags with whatever they have available - clothes, rocks, wood etc.

These are great Beach tents, and this particular one had a wonderful blue wavy pattern which looked really great. And the poles are nice with flat bottoms so that they don't sink into the sand. So all in all very happy with it. However, it does not include a shovel and really for the limited amount of little fabric that they are. They are extremely overpriced. This should be only like a $40 item. I also don't think it blocks the UV very well, you can still feel it coming through when you're underneath it, so these aren't for high sun, And don't provide hard shade, But they are super portable, lightweight easy to set up. Once you know a few tricks to lay it out, flat first, should come with a shovel or scoop. Would be a good deal for 40 bucks, for 100 bucks it's quite overpriced, I think. But looks pretty!

We were very excited to receive and put this product to use!!! We happen to be traveling in our RV in Montana and dry camped along a lake with clear sunny skies with temperatures in the 80’s. This tent (neso one) worked out perfectly for instant shade by the lake. Set up was super easy! Completed in a few minutes by one person. The amount of shade casted was great for two adults and a large pup. It felt secure and even withheld some of the passing winds. Bonus points for how well this thing packs up to a compact and light size. We are very happy to be adding this to our camping essentials!
