Neso Tents Grande Beach Tent, 7ft Tall, 9 x 9ft, Reinforced Corners and Cooler Pocket

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.

I mean the tent is gorgeous first off. I love the print. The fabric is so soft and smooth. This thing is incredibly easy to put up. The first picture is of it up and in 12 mph wind at pcb. We have used this for 4 days in a row and it has changed the game for me. I'm very fair skinned and always burn. With this lovely tent, I can stay out all day. This fit 4 adults (each with their own chair) and a cooler and bags. Not to mention, it is sooo light weight. So easy to carry. American made. So easy to fold up and put away. I can't speak to durability yet, since it's new.. but it seems like a real quality item

We used the Neso Grande on a week-long beach trip with our family of five, and overall it worked well. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and super simple to set up on normal beach days. It gave us plenty of shade and space for all of us, which was a huge plus.That said, it didn’t hold up on very windy days. Despite watching the company’s videos and trying all the tips, we couldn’t get it to stay up on two of the windiest days. It just kept collapsing. So while it’s great for most conditions, I wouldn’t count on it in heavy wind.

This was exactly what I was looking for when I started looking for a beach shade. It was easy to set up by myself, literally took 5 minutes the first time. It’s light weight and takes up very little space but the amount of shade it puts off when up is more than enough for 4 or more people. We live 15 minutes from the beach and this is a permanent staple in my vehicle for impromptu beach trips!The eye catching pattern drew a lot of attention and we had many other beach goers asking us about it especially when they saw how easy it was to set up. Our friends set up beside us with another well known sun shade that blows in the wind and throughout the day we watched as their shade would come and go with the wind speed AND they constantly had to reposition their chairs to match the sun’s position. All the while, all I had to do was move the poles a couple of times so that it gave us more shade as the sun’s position changed.
