Kratax Pop Up Beach Tent UV Sun Protection Waterproof Sun Shelters for Family Camping, Fishing, Picnic, Beach

Love this tent! Just got back from a holiday in Cornwall and used it everyday on the beach. It gave shelter from wind, shade from sun, and kept us dry with any small bits of rain. It’s super lightweight, and the addition of the sand pockets makes it extra sturdy with the pegs too. I watched the video of how to fold this up, and practiced a couple of times at home before going on holiday and was able to easily fold it every time. I definitely recommend watching the video and having a practice as then it is super simple and very fast to both put up and take down. It has a small mesh at the back which means the tent is breathable and doesn’t get too warm, but if it was raining heavily it would let water in, so don’t buy this if you want to use on bad weather. Very happy!!

We bought this to take abroad with us, most are quite large when folded and would not fit into a standard suitcase this was a great size when folded, it would not fit in a cabin sized bag / suitcase but fit lovely in a medium case.It’s a pop up tent so easy to put up and the sand bag pockets were easy to fill on the beach (emptying them was a little bit of a pain because it’s not really tip-able, but scooping it out wasn’t too bad) we used the anchors as well. We felt our little boy (5months old) was well protected from the sun and we was able to keep him cool. There was plenty of space for him, one of us laying down and out things, which was fine as we took it in turns sunbathing. We could have all fit in and did several times we were just more comfortable taking it in turns. The open front made it easy to get in and we made sure to face the front away from the sun, just be aware with the mesh back it lets in the sun too so with baring in mind when setting up.The mesh back made it extremely breathable and we got a nice breeze through the tent when there was a breeze about.Putting pop up tents down can always be a struggle but we didn’t find this that difficult at all. I managed it alone with baby and it was lightweight enough to carry around the resort with us.I would highly recommend this for holidays largely due to the size when folded.I can’t compare this to any others as this is the only one we’ve had but we liked it.Photo is just to show size, this was in a large case and could fit in a smaller case if needed.

I bought this for my grandchildren as a play tent in the garden. It is easy to set up and does the job. It needs something to hold it down so I filled empty milk bottles and they did the job. It’ll take some practice to become confident in packing it away. On the way to folding in on itself, it feels like it’s fighting back so I was worried I might break it. Other buyers have posted videos and I advise you to watch them as you do it

made a perfect beach shelter for the dog, and helped shelter us from the sun and wind. Great value and light to carry.

A great size for 2 people not 3 or 4. Easy to pop open but a little tricky to fold back up the bag. Would definitely recommend this one to anyone needing a 2 person pop up tent for the beach.

Managed almost one use out of this and it is no longer fit for purpose.Over the years I have had several of this type of tent. This is the most expensive I have had so far but the quality far worse than others I have had. Two of the tent peg loops became detached on the first use. If there is anything more than a gentle breeze it begins to fold in on itself and even with instructions it is the most difficult one of these I have attempted to fold back up as the frame can twist within the lining causing distortion of the tent.Definitely would not have bought had I known all this, and would not recommend at all.

The media could not be loaded. Folk hesitating to buy because of size or folding back should see my video. I'm 5'10" or 1.75m to give you an idea of scale. You will see how easy & fast it is to collapse & repack. My 1st attempt failed but on rechecking an online review, I succeeded on my 2nd attempt & filmed my 3rd attempt. It's going on the beach tomorrow afternoon at Clacton, Essex Uk to stop two grandchildren getting wind-chilled to the bone like they did last time we were there! So far, there's no reason not to give it full marks. If i've not added to this review, you'll know it went well p.s. As I'm sitting it on loose sand, I'm going to attach the four corners to bags full of beach sand using string or something simple. POST SCRIPT Staycation over: Unpacking, erecting, taking down and packing INDOORS was a doddle but the BEACH was another matter so let’s go through the sales blurb. Safe UV protected Material: No reason to doubt - Pop-up Design: Pops up a treat – Open-door design and rear mesh window: Good for cool, ventilated shade - External sand pockets and 6 metal nails: Definitely, NOT up to the task. I had to use four sand bags that usually hold down my 3m x 3m gazebo - Dimensions: As stated – Waterproof: The product does NOT claim to be waterproof so I cannot knock off stars for that reason. We did experience a very bad storm in it. The open door was facing away from the wind so, surprisingly, that was not a problem but, the rain blew straight in the ventilation mesh and then pooled on the ground sheet. In summary, we were very happy on dry days even with a strong wind but only because of our four very heavy sandbags connected to the four external corner loops of the tent without which the tent would have been next to useless so. my initial five star rating comes down to three which I think is fair and it will remain a great indoor den for the grandkids.
