ABCCANOPY Stable Pop Up Beach Tent with Backpack Bag, 8 x 8 ft Base / 6 x 6 ft Top, Royal Blue

The media could not be loaded. I love this canopy! I’m a self proclaimed canopy whore; here to tell you that this canopy is QUALITY. Of the many canopies I’ve experienced, this is by far my favorite.She is aesthetically pleasing, hefty, durable AND easy to set up and take down. I left her up during a BAD thunder storm that completely demolished my cheaper canopy that was set up RIGHT beside her…and she survived and stood strong with 0 issues. I am not exaggerating when i say the cheaper canopy (which was a 2-year-old $40 OZARK Trail canopy) looked like it had just gone through whatever Hurricane category is the worst. Meanwhile, this gem of a canopy was 100% okay, just a little wet. If that’s not a testament to quality, I don’t know what is.Moving on to aesthetics and ease of use…The Velcro corners are a very efficient addition; all you have to do is pat down the sides of the canopy top because there is Velcro sewed in to the inside corners that adheres to the Velcro attached to the corners of the metal frame.The carrying bag is a durable canvas fabric that has backpack straps, wheels and a top handle; it opens only from one of the square ends (which makes putting the canopy away very simple, since all you have to do is slide the bag over the closed metal frame like a sock…then stuff in the fabric canopy top).Love the attached* sidewall that has one mesh pocket—that could probably fit 2 iPhone Pros in it; the sidewall pocket isn’t super large, but it could certainly fit the little bag of stakes and paracord that also comes with this canopy. (*attached as in the sidewall is just an extension of the canopy top, not a stand alone separate addition…which i find convenient as a silly goose with ADHD who loses everything).Considering the $40 OZARK canopy (you can find at any U.S. Walmart) set the tone for me…spoiled me…making it extremely hard for me to ever spend any more than that on a canopy…I justified the extra cost by reminding myself that it’s hard to find a ‘canopy sidewall addition’ for any less than $30 (especially with a pocket!)…and I bought this canopy on sale for $60; but to be honest, I would purchase it full price. This is a phenomenal canopy. Add. To. Cart. Y’all.

I like the easy setup and disassembling. I wish the roof was a little higher but then it would be more susceptible to wind gust. It is sturdy. Instructions are a little confusing so just remember to pull the legs apart like an accordion.Edit: The legs also telescope and snap into place. 06/05/22Update: When you push the bars for the roof in place do on leg at a time. Push each leg at the top where it connects to the roof until you hear a "click". That will indicate that the top of the roof is locked in place for that leg of the canopy. Inside of the canopy frame where you hear the "click" you will see a red tab. That is what "clicked" locking the leg and roof in place. You also press the red tab to disengage the lock so the canopy frame van be collapsed. I couldn't figure out why the canopy sagged on one side. It was because all of the legs were not locked in place. Then when I took it down after wrestling with it that's when I found out what the red release clips were for. Lol. The picture does not show the anchors and tie-downs because mine is on a concrete patio. So there are anchors and a nice carrying case for storing the canopy. It has straps to carry like a backpack to hike and wheels if you want to roll it. The storage bag has a hard plastic bottom where unzips in a square pattern to remove the canopy and stakes.I like it. The back wall and canopy are one piece. The wall has a velcro strap at the top and a velcro strap at the bottom. The straps wrap around the legs and reattache to the velcro on the canopy wall. It's nice because you can unstrap the velcro and lift up the wall to let air flow through. I use to work for EZ UP and this is a good little shelter. I don't know if it is waterproof though. We don't get much rain in California. Lol. Cons: the canopy is a little tight but not so that it would rip. The instructions could be more specific.Overall, I have no complaints. Try it out. You can always send it back if it doesn't perform the way you think it should based on the advertising.

It does not look stable enough to use at the beach, which is why we bought it. We set it up in our small backyard for a small birthday party. The legs look like they will not stand up against even the slightest wind, even if we were to put on the sandbags. We bought it after looking at several others online and this looked like the best for our needs. It looks very fragile.I would not recommend buying this tent. It is a waste of money. It was so hot inside, we put chairs for the parents and babies that came with the 4 year Olds. The food was also set up in there. We immediately moved the party into the house. We didn't want the food or more importantly anyone injured because of the heat from the tent.Make the legs heavier in strength like the ad suggested.

We've owned this tent for 4 years, with fairly frequent use for the beach, track/ cross country meets, camping and parties at the park. The good: with frequent use the canopy is still in good shape and has not torn (however material is a little thin), frame has not bent, the extra shade wall helps block out light. Legs are adjustable to tilt tent or lift/ lower to desired height.The bad: the stakes provided are pretty useless at the beach if there is any sort of breeze, you will want to invest in some weights to hold it down. The carrying bag it comes in ripped at the strap shortly after we purchased, not durable enough to use to carry the tent.It's a decent canopy for the price, if you have a smaller budget but definitely not a top of the line canopy.

Love it works good

It was very heavy and there was no manual to set up. That is the only reason I give 3 stars. I watched many youtube videos but no luck! However, it has good quality metal and water resistant cover.
