This sun shelter was used as a first aid station for my cub scouts at Cub Scout day camp. It is compact, lightweight, and was fairly simple to put up by myself. The main door can zip up to create a changing room, and has a nifty built in clothes line to hang a couple of bathing suits to dry. I would recommend practice with setting it up at least once before using it so you can get the gist of how to do it. I wanted a shelter that would accommodate a standard adult camp chair, and this shelter did not disappoint. It can fit 2 standard camp chairs very comfortably. The full size window in the back is awesome for air circulation and can be used as a second entrance if needed. It can also block the sun and provide good shelter from not only the sun, but the rain as well. My shelter was set up for 4 days straight and held up very well. In the early morning of the 4th day, we had a thunder storm roll through. Upon arrival to camp later that morning, I expected to see damage to the shelter. Not only was it still standing, there was no damage and it was completely dry on the inside! I was impressed! The take down was simple and storing it back into the bag was not as difficult as some reviews indicated. The mesh system where the poles slip through are not the greatest designs. If you are not careful with guiding them through, the poles will catch the mesh fabric and tear it. So be gentle and have patience. The stakes that the tent came with are cheap, aluminum and I bent them upon staking them into the ground on the first day. Needless to say, I will be buying new ones that can withstand the hard ground, and will be easier to spot if the tent slips off the stakes during a gust of wind, like it did on the first day. Other than that, this is an awesome shade and worked perfectly for my cub scout day camp.Read full review
