Popup Portable Tarp Tent for Family Beach Backpacking Kayak Hiking Cabana Or Camping Instant Canopy Shade

I like the tent. I'm using it in a non-conventional way. It's serving as a cover and sun shade for my electronic equipment. I film my son's soccer games and the sun glare impedes visibility of the computer screen. The opening is big enough to allow easy access while the tents footprint is small enough to squeeze into tight places. This is very useful for my purposes. The one drawback I see is not in the product but in the instructions. Folding the tent took some trial and error and the instructions were not very useful. I finally found a video on YouTube that did a great job explaining the details and once I tried it the tent folded up very easily and neatly. There's a bit of a trick to the folding but once you get the hang of it it's really easy.

This is small. But that’s what I was looking for. An adult will not completely fit under the canaopy or will a toddler. It’s not designed for that purpose. However for the small footprint and price it serves a particular purpose for me.I would give it 5 stars but the process to collapses and put it back into the storage pouch is near impossible for me. Not sure if there’s any realistic suggestion on improving the many bends and circle overlaps to make this thing compact enough for the small pouch. I wonder how they made it so compact in the first place?

Exactly as described, lightweight and portable. Kids loved it!
