Coleman Road Trip Beach Shade

Customer Reviews:* We used our beach shelter today for the first time in San Diego, CA - had a few people actually stop and ask us where we got it. We didn't see another one (or any other type of beach tent) on the beach at all!Like the other reviews stated, it was easy to set up and easy to break down. Not as easy as popping up an umbrella, which is probably why there weren't any on the beach. I would say it took the two of us about 12 minutes to set up and about as much to break down (where an umbrella takes about 30 seconds) - next time it'll be quicker I'm sure, but even so it's well worth the small effort.The front zippered flap that folds out and lays flat does indeed have two spikes to hold it. I wonder if the other reviewer just got shorted. I can see also that the metal spikes could be easily lost in the sand, I'm sure our local REI can hook us up with some heavy duty plastic versions.Something not mentioned is that the mesh bag that the tent comes in has hooks built into it so that you can clip it to the inside top of the tent and use it as a pouch to store stuff off the ground. Very handy!We have two of those "Rio" brand beach chairs and were able to both sit inside the tent when we wanted to be in the shade.I looked at several different tents, and most of them cost twice as much. This tent was indeed a bargain and I highly recommend it. * We purchased the Coleman Road Trip Beach Shade for our 11 month old daughter and 7 yr old Black Lab. We were going to the Outer Banks of North Carolina - notorious for high winds. Over the years I have witnessed many people have beach umbrellas blown inside out and 'beach tents' blown off their frames and in to the ocean! I didn't want to have that happen to me so I purposely searched the reviews of this product for 'wind' before purchasing. On the last day of our vacation the winds were 14 mph with gusts up to 31 mph! The Coleman definitely held it's own and did a perfect job - very impressive! Other reivewers also recommended setting the tent up at least once before attempting on the beach - this is a must! Use the directions inside the bag, but I found it easiest to:1)First connect the sand bags indoors on your test run2)Fill the bags with sand as you are unfolding the tent3)Place all poles in sleeves before errecting!We were able to put it up in 5 to 10 minutes like this and enjoyed the shade and break from the wind for our toddler and dog! Great product - extremely satisfied!
