SUN NINJA Beach Tent Shelter with UPF50+ Protection, Includes Sand Shovel, Ground Pegs, Stability Poles, Outdoor Pop Up Shade Canopy for Camping, Fishing, Backyard Fun

07/2024 - Updating after another season and 2 solid weeks of use - TOTALLY WORTH EVERY PENNY. This sucker is fantastic. We have put it through the wringer over the past two weeks, up and down every day, on the beach for hours with decent winds every day. It sets up in less than 5 minutes and stays up for as long as you want it to.Pro tips:- lay it out flat and stretch the corners as far as you can before digging a hole for each pocket. Fill the pockets with sand and bury each pocket in the hole you dug for it. The pockets can hold so much sand - fill them as much as you can. The more you fill and the deeper you bury them, the more wind it can withstand.- once the corners are filled and buried, place the poles about 6 inches in from the corners of the top and stand those suckers up.- if you don’t want as much profile, you can get away with 2-3 poles in the front, setting the whole thing up like a lean-to.- secure the poles with the elastic ties and you’re golden.Update! I called customer service today and they returned my call within 10 mins. They ordered 2 replacement poles for me and expedited shipping so I will have the poles in 48 hours. Perfect customer service!Hi! I’ve been on the beach this week and we brought my Sun Ninja beach tent. Here’s my honest review:So easy! Just stretch the tent out flat on the sand, pulling the 4 corner pouches out super far. Dig holes for each pouch and start filling the pouches with the sand. Make sure the pouch is filled to the brim and snug down in that hole, then cover the pouch with even more sand so it’s buried in that hole. Then place the poles about a foot in from the corner seams, rubber ball up, and stake them down in the sand. You can use 2 poles to do like a lean-to, or 4 to give you more room. Put the elastic bungees on top so they attach the tent fabric to the rubber ball and pull tight. You’re done!When all the parts work, it’s amazing!Pros:✅ the XL is huge and shady and has room for 4 comfortably, but you could easily fit like 8-10 people under the shade in a pinch✅ when all the parts are working, you can have it up in 5 mins or less✅ when you have it up and staked right, it can withstand a lot of wind, not just breeze✅ comes with a great carry bag and small shovel to fill the pouchesCon - just one:❌ we’ve had 2 faulty poles that get stuck and won’t quite fit all the sections together snugly - I’m going to contact Sun Ninja and will update this review with their response

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased the Sun Ninja Beach Tent, and it has truly exceeded all my expectations. Setting it up was a breeze—within minutes, I had the tent securely anchored, thanks to the simple instructions and easy-to-use components. Even with the wind picking up slightly, the Sun Ninja stayed perfectly in place, proving its sturdiness.Portability is another highlight. The tent is incredibly lightweight, making it effortless to carry from the car to the beach, and it packs down neatly into a compact bag that barely takes up any space.Once up, the Sun Ninja provided excellent protection from the sun, allowing me and my family to relax comfortably under its shade. The best part? It became the talk of the beach! Everyone was curious about it, and I received numerous compliments on how sleek and functional it looked. If you're looking for a beach tent that's easy to set up, portable, and reliable in variably windy conditions, the Sun Ninja is the way to go. This summer, it was definitely the envy of the beach!

I bought this in April 2022. Why the review now, well Amazon sends you a review right away and I had yet to use it! So it has now been used ohhh probably 6 times! How did we ever function without it. I love this tent, wind or sun. It’s a must have. Works great at OBX and works great in the back yard.I love the turquoise color keeps you cool when the sun is blistering hot. Now this is a smaller tent but just this week we had 7 adults and one baby under it. Was it tight yes, very but… it was fun and worked well in the hot sun. It’s is easy to put up and easy to take down. It is not heavy to carry and once you get the hang of it I’d say you can have this baby up in 5-7 min alone. with help even easier. I watched many you tube videos and trial and error- remember the little “ninja guy” faces the wind. Remember that and stretch it as wide as you can fill with sand, poles and adjust and you will master it in no time!We broke one of the poles on this trip- guess what contacted the company- and got a response in less then an hour I’d say and new poles are being shipped!!! Are you kidding me??? Sun ninja I cannot even tell you about how great the customer service is!!! Just wow!!!

I love the way this tent goes up and down so easily and also looks so nice when up .I have only used twice so I do not know how long it may last going forward but the fabric & stitching seem pretty strong . When filling the sand bags and stretching it height wise with the poles I would suggest not pulling it too taught as that may cause more stress and reduce the life of the thing but again novice here myself . I love the aqua color I purchased ... it is bright and cheerful . I have no pics handy to share , sorry but the color is true to marketing . It is not a tall tent . I am 5'6" and can stand underneath but not by much .Here are the cons ... the shovel is a child's toy ... you will need a proper shovel , LOL .The pegs for holding down the sand bags are also sub par ... light weight aluminum and bent with first use when I needed to hammer them into the hard packed sand we have by me . Soft sand prob wouldn't be an issue . All in all I love this tent but the accessories are a bit crappy . If one had the option to buy just the canopy and legs I would go for that and sub the rest from camping supplies . Oh and one more thing ... I live in Florida and have a decent base tan year round but my white skinned friends got some sun on their skin while lounging underneath so the SPF factors may not be something you want to count on . I love the canopy for its style and color and ease of assembly but you may still want to use a sunblock if your skin is sensitive . Mine is not and I found the shade it created to be very satisfactory . If it lasts me a few years I will be a happy camper .
