SUN NINJA Beach Tent Sun Shelter, Beach Shade Canopy with UPF50+ Protection | Beach Canopy Tent Sun Shade, Cabana Includes Carry Bag, Sand Shovel, Ground Pegs, 4 Poles & Anchor Bags

This was super easy to set up and take down. Lightweight fabric and easy to transport. Allows for a nice breeze. We see a lot of other people using these since buying it, so it’s definitely a popular choice. The fabric feels sturdy and held up well. It gave us plenty of shade, and we were able to stay at the beach for hours without getting burned. I’d definitely recommend it.

I kept this Sun Ninja in my cart for over a year. I deliberated and researched repeatedly searching for the best product for our needs. I previously bought a much smaller more tent like sun shelter for the beach. We needed something small enough to fit into a suitcase. Our previous tent fits easily into a suitcase and works well but it is incredibly hot with limited air circulation and barely fits my husband and I. I finally bought the Sun Ninja and I wish I had done it sooner!I love it! It has been really well thought out and is well made. No skimping on quality! We were able to quickly assemble and erect it! It took a topple the first day due to high winds but we quickly learned what to do to make it more secure and never had another problem our first beach trip! Much larger and a lot more air circulation! It packs up easily also! It is worth every penny! We already made back what it cost us in savings on umbrella or cabana rentals!

This review is for the 5’ x 5’ “two-person” size tent, primarily used with two poles (only). Random notes in no particular order:- First saw one of these earlier this summer, and thought ‘that’s the coolest-looking tent ever’. Looks like a big ol' waterbug on the beach. Which BTW, it does sprawl out there – that 5’ x 5’ tent is more like 15’ x 15’ once it’s stretched out, so be aware. I will say that though the legs do stretch out, they are anchored by sand bags, so there are no stakes/spikes etc. for you (or anyone else) to worry about.- I purchased the 5’ x 5’ version as I usually go on my own to the beach to read. The 5’ x 5’ size is perfect for one person, which leads to an important note: Size/people references supplied are more like ‘maximum capacity’. I’d halve the occupancy ratings for ideal fit:5’ x 5’ for one person7’ x 7’ for two10’ x 10’ for four- Especially if you only use two poles, which I think works best. Definitely affects fit, but using two poles vs. four provides more shade, and more shade options over the course of the day.- I also find that less poles means more stability in the wind. If you follow the directions (face the front of the tent directly into the wind, pack the sand bags to the max and bury the bags, and stretch each tent leg/bag out as much as possible before raising the poles), the tent is surprisingly stable in the wind with two poles. I used the tent this afternoon in sustained winds of 15-25 MPH – absolutely no umbrellas at the beach today – but dang! the Sun Ninja really held its own in the wind.- Then when I began to take down the tent, I accidentally came upon a sort of ‘alternate’ setup that was incredibly stable in the wind. I removed one pole, which temporarily made the tent a one-poler, but that one pole was pretty well aligned into the wind, and the tent STILL remained stable in the wind! So I thought ’what if I took that second pole and teamed it up with the first one in a /\ setup?’ If you look at the video, the tent fabric sure is blowing, but with the new setup the support is really, really stable. How cool is that! (Speaking of cool, I forgot that I was playing music on my phone while doing the video, so there you go. Thanks to Grant Green and Larry Young for the soundtrack :)- In conclusion, I’ll agree with most folks that my little 5 x 5 tent is super easy to carry-with, setup, and take down. Less than 10 minutes to setup (solo) and five minutes to pack up.Needless to say, I’m very happy with my purchase. It’s a brilliant design: functional, efficient, and stable, and as I said: it’s the coolest-looking tent on the beach!Oh, one last thing: like a previous reviewer recommended: get a larger, more durable scoop than the one provided.Video: Alternate two-pole /\ setup, approx. 20 mph wind. My goofy idea to orient the tent diagonally, with two poles used together at one end. Not sure if you’re supposed to do that, but it worked well for me in the wind.

I got the 7x7.5 size and it’s actually pretty great. It’s not really big enough for more than 2 people, and you can’t fully stand under it, but it’s easy to set up. It feels sturdy enough and provides shade. Much better suited than the “easy-up” style 10x10 and the tent pole style screen house we had. I would definitely recommend it for a coulple looking for beach shade.

We bough this tent sun shelter gently used. It was still well packaged with all the items still in the box. There were instruction sheets that came along with it. The four poles were packed two each in two bags. The sand scooper, elastic ties and metal anchors were still in the bag and didn't look like they were used. The big blue canopy was also well packed in its own bag. This whole canopy is well packaged and I like how they all have their own bags for storage and then fit into one big bag at the end. Putting up the canopy is easy. We have the XL size and it is true to the dimensions. It gives us plenty of shade and easy to put up and bring it down. Sliding the four legs out to give you the best support for the metal poles. Sand is always at the beach you might as well use it when you can. If you are any other place and need to use this sun shelter they include metal anchors to use. The material of the canopy is flexible and offers you shade when you need it. The material is strong and durable. Easy to move around as needed. When you are done for the day everything fits nicely back into their own bags. This is so easy to carry to and from the beach. The bag fully loaded does have some weight but its doable. Best thing we bought for the beach that will stay put on the most windiest days! Love it. Well worth your money. We may even buy a few more! So easy to put up and take down.

I did a lot of research for a beach shade since all the good ones are expensive. I opted for this one and this thing is great. Easy to set up the with the longest part is filling the anchors with sand which is still fairly quick. No issues on a windy day just need to adjust the poles and anchors accordingly. I got the 7x7 which is pictured here and is great for 1-4 people but the height leaves something to be desired in my opinion. The 7x7 would be perfect with 6 ft poles instead of the 5 foot ones so we opted to get the 10x10 which comes with the 6ft poles which is the perfect height and plenty of space for our family of three and all our beach stuff. With plenty of room to spare. The travel bag is small and takes no room and is not heavy when traveling with your beach items. The only negative is that it does have a large footprint so you will have to have a spot on the beach with a decent amount of room but overall this is a great sunshade.

Bought this because our daughter had one at the beach for a family vacay. Lightweight, easy to assemble, and provides shade regardless of wind conditions. Also comes with stakes so we can use it camping.

I was really hoping that this beach canopy/sun shelter would provide me everything I was looking for in a beach canopy.I have no idea why this has a 4.5 star rating. I must wonder how many people have used it multiple times at the beach. If you are not using this at the beach, then you may be ok. But good luck finding 50+ pounds of sand to put into each corner bag to hold it up if you are not at the beach.I was trying to get something that would:1. Provide plenty of shade. Something an umbrella just doesn’t do.2. Allow me to actually sit under the canopy and not outside of it like you have to do with some other beach covers.3. Allow me to lower one side to block the sun.4. Prevent me from having to move it throughout the day as the sun makes its way across the sky.5. Would work with wind or little wind. Unlike the Shibumi Shade that doesn’t work when there’s little wind. And must be moved when the wind changes directions. Those things are a rip-off.6. Be light weight and easy to carry7. That would be easy and efficient to set up.Dealing with your standard umbrella simply doesn’t provide as much shade and you have reposition yourself throughout the day.I’ve tried the beach tents, but they get stuffy due to lack of good cross ventilation and you have to move them, and you can’t put more than two people in/under them comfortably.I was going to use your standard camping canopy (which plenty of people do), but those are heavy. But, after dealing with this Sun Ninja for 10 days at the beach, it may be my last option.The Negatives:1. Right from the get-go, inserting the different sections of the poles into one another was problematic due to something called sand that you find lots of at the beach. The poles come in six sections with male/female ends and are held together by a bungee string running down through them. Once you have any amount of sand, they get difficult to connect and disconnect. So much so, on the last day, I could not disconnect one of the sections at all. Even using pliers didn’t work.2. The poles only offer one height of about 6’. A better solution would possibly be to have the poles telescoping and offering heights of 2’, 4’ and 6’…providing they don’t get stuck. This would make it easier to adjust the height of one side to provide greater sun protection.3. With any moderate wind (which is what you usually have at the beach), you will need to fill up the bag corners with 45-50 scoops of sand. This is very time consuming. It took me about 15 minutes to set up the canopy. That is way too long and inefficient. A better solution would be to simply have tie strings/cords and connect them to 2’ stakes that are driven in the sand.4. It takes up a lot of space. Sure, the canopy is 10x10, but by the time you stretch out the corners, it’s 25x25. If you are at a crowded beach, you will not have happy neighbors. You could shrink its overall footprint by using the tie strings and stakes.The Positives:1. It is lightweight and relatively easy to carry.2. The material seems nice and durable.3. Providing you set it up correctly and can lower one side, you will not have to move it throughout the day. You may have to move a little under the canopy, but not much. But, you can avoid moving just by lowering the side where the sun is coming from if you want.4. You can, sort of, lower one side by either not using two poles and really stretching it out, or, by angling the poles…which is what I did because I wanted to be able to see out.So, while it did meet some of my requirements, its main drawbacks of being inefficient to set up and poles that constantly are a pain to connect and disconnect (if you can) causes me to not recommend this for the beach.

As our family are frequent beach goers, we needed a tent to protect us from the sun. This tent has been amazing, setting it up is a breeze to do! Also with the brilliant accessories like a sand shovel, foldable stability poles, ground hooks and a bag to pack away into! This has been an absolute game-changer for our beach adventures!I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a reliable and well-designed beach tent for a sun-safe and enjoyable outdoor experience!

I love the product, easy to use,nice material, perfect size.

Wir haben das SUN NINJA Strandzelt für den Familienurlaub gekauft, da uns die klassischen Strandmuscheln bei Wind schon oft genervt haben. Nach dem ersten Einsatz können wir sagen: Dieses Sonnensegel ist jeden Cent wert und die perfekte Lösung für heiße Tage am Meer!Aufbau und Stabilität:Der Aufbau ist genial einfach und auch alleine in wenigen Minuten erledigt. Man breitet das Segel aus, füllt die vier Ecksäcke randvoll mit Sand (das ist das Geheimnis für die Stabilität!), zieht es straff und stellt die Aluminiumstangen auf. Selbst bei einer kräftigen Brise am Strand steht das Zelt bombenfest, wo andere Schirme schon längst wegfliegen. Das Segel flext im Wind einfach mit.Sonnenschutz und Platzangebot:Mit dem zertifizierten LSF 50+ UV-Schutz bietet das Zelt einen absolut sicheren Schattenplatz, was besonders für Kinder extrem wichtig ist. Der Schattenbereich ist riesig und bietet der ganzen Familie, Kühltaschen und Handtüchern locker Platz. Da das Segel an den Seiten offen ist, steht die Luft nicht (wie in einer kochend heißen Strandmuschel), sondern es geht immer ein angenehmer, erfrischender Windzug durch.Qualität und Transport:Das Material ist extrem elastisch, reißfest und die Nähte sind sauber verarbeitet. Der Sand lässt sich beim Abbau ganz einfach abschütteln. Zusammengepackt in der mitgelieferten Tragetasche ist das Set erstaunlich leicht und kompakt – es passt problemlos in jedes Urlaubsgepäck.Fazit:Ein absolut durchdachtes Produkt, das den Strandtag um ein Vielfaches entspannter macht. Wer verlässlichen Sonnenschutz sucht, der nicht beim kleinsten Windhauch kollabiert, ist hier genau richtig. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Es super fácil de montar y más cómodo de llevar.

Second year of use and working very well. Very pleased with our purchase. Last year we took it to Sardinia and it withstood many outings. This year it's been to Majorca and coped well with 20 km winds.As per other reviews, it's worth adjusting the poles and tentacles a few times according to the wind strength and direction. Comfortably fits 3 people, 4 at a push, or one, very precious son as per the photo :-)
