Can anyone compare this with using a 10x10 canopy on the beach? Mostly in ease of use and functunality since I'm trying to decide between the two.

The 10x10 canopy will give you no privacy or wind protection. The beach shelter has two poles and some stakes.

As far as set up I'd rate them equal. A regular stand up shelter (especially if you have one other person for help) can be pretty fast. This shelter is also fast, but the ease of ate up depends on how windy it is. But there is no comparison between the two when it comes to portability. The Textport shelter is so much lighter and so much smaller thee is just no contest. We just had ours out today at the beach. Would never even consider the bigger shelter unless I was parked right next to where I'm setting up. You can get 3 full sized beach chairs under the Textsport too.

I think either one would be ok.. The longer one will be easier in the beginning but with some time on the water, you may want the 10 footer..I am a beginner and I got the 10 footer..

It will fit your 10 X 10. It Velcros to the the frame. The Velcro straps are easy to attach and are under the canopy so no water gets in. The side panels zip together easily. Have used mine in the rain and was very pleased. Good luck

it may be a little heavier, but the construction of tent makes it very functional. you do not want bottom heavy, that would make it heavy and I did not want to carry to beach. it truly was the best tent on the beach. did you notice it has spf screening. you WILLNOT be sorry you bought this.

I use these bags w/a 10 x 10 canopy. They will attach to the legs of a 10 x 20 canopy as well. The only issue may be that a 10 x 20 canopy may catch more wind, and, thus, require a bit more stabilizing and anchoring weight. Btw, I filled each bag with 40 pounds of very small garden rocks (pea gravel). Took two people to do this; filling each is a bit tricky. But it worked out quite well.

I only purchased the canopy last month. I have not used it during the summer months.

First of all. the mfg warns about high wind application. But if you weight down the 6 legs, there are hol;es for screws on the end of each leg. You couls also use a conrete block to anchor each leg. I would reccomend that you be able to fold down the whole canopy when not utilizing it, to avoid a heavy strain on the unit. After all it is made to be mobile and not permantly set up. Otherwise a very attractive and functional canopy. I would reccomern with the cavet athat you do take precautions when in use..

It will work for beach camping. The qualifying is good and having windows is nice. But s far as setting up, it's may as easy or as hard as Any other canopy

You put the canopy over the frame every time. This is not a sturdy canopy. Okay for light use, but look elsewhere if you will ever use in anything above a light wind.

The wind would be a problem, having camped on a lot of beaches myself. You will need something more than the type of stakes provided to keep it firmly connected to the ground. You could buy really long stakes or weight the corners. It's a great lightweight tent but if the wind blows hard, I would expect to have problems.

I would suggest that you purchase the Z-Shade Venture 10' x 10' Pop Up Instant Shelter Canopy (also found on Amazon) rather than trying to fit a product not specifically for the Venture.

Shirley, It's a very easy tent to put up. I'm 51 and the only issue I have had is when first opening the tent at an event I have a hard time locking the first pin into place. I think it is because it is a new canopy and just tight. I have had this tent now for about 10 shows and it is now becoming easier. If you are using at a show, there is always someone around that can help you lock in the first leg, after that it is very easy. Tear down is just as easy. It's a very nice canopy with a denser fabric. I just waterproofed my canopy last week and was thankful this past weekend during a rain storm as I didn't have any leaks around the seams. I would definitely recommend. Lorie, J Rowe Apparel

Without question. I've used it to set up my tent in a downpore and the tent never had a drop on it. I never used the rainfly which allowed more fresh air into the ten. I have the 16x16.

I would purchase the footprint. If you decide on the tarp I would purchase a 10x10.
