Will this help keep sand off baby at the beach? Or will mesh allow a lot of sand in?

if it is windy it will allow sand in. It does get hot inside if in direct sun as the fabric is a dark color.

Sand gets everwhere, no matter how hard you try to keep it away. Also, if the peapod is on the beach directly under the sun, make sure to install a mini fridge, so your baby can grab a couple of cold ones during his/her sauna session.

It would help keep a any off the sand, but the mesh and opening would allow plenty of air circulation. I think this would be perfect for the beach. It's a well built little tent.

I bought mine to drape over the deck railing behind my gas grill. I haven't put up the railing yet, but I noticed that the blanket has little fiberglass threads that get loose. I wouldn't put food on it, but it should protect a plastic table.

Here in Maine, we are just getting rid of the snow pack so the sandbox has not been set up. I purchased this particular one because I wanted my grandchildren sheltered from the sun and since they live in a rural area, the cabana will keep animals out of the sand. We probably won't be setting it up until mid-June. Sorry I can't answer your question. My guess is that the sides do not roll up - just the one.

I would help but not totally block it. The mesh will allow water through it. Snow will not come through it however. hope this helps

I sure it will keep the o-seeums away. Might be a little large for walking to the beach but if your beach has no breeze this could be for you.

This works fine over a brick pathway, gravel driveway, and on cement and asphalt and even over dry dirt. Haven't used it on sand but for our California beaches, the best bet is fat balloon tires.

i have not used this in sand, so i have no idea how it would handle in sand--sorry.

I've used mine a handful of times for my kids. It usually stays in place pretty well, it has stakes to stake it in the ground and it also has little pockets on the side you put sand in for weight. We did just come back from a vacation 2 weeks ago where there was a day we went to the beach and it wasn't holding up so well but that's the first time we've had problems.

There is a floor covering for this. You would not be sitting directly on sand.

Well, it will keep you covered, and it will definitely dry you, but it's not going to provide either insulation value or wind protection. It should shed sand ok, but it's not designed to be handling real dirt...softeners and bleaches will decrease it's ability to hold water according to what I've read.

It is sort of like a dust buster mounted on a stick. I have not tried it with sand but to be safe you might want something with a more powerful motor.

We used sand bag weight son ours and it works fine. If you are in a windy area then I would recommend ropes.

It has pockets on the corners that you can fill with sand to secure it. That's all we used last year on vacation and it worked fine. I suppose you could also buy tent stakes to use through the loops at the corners.

It keeps light rain out. After a weekend full of rain, the sand is definitely wet and needs to be dried out before it can be used.

I believe that the mesh is fine enough to keep fruit flies out. I use it to hold soil in a cold frame and, even in the rain, the soil does not wash out. A grain of soil is smaller than a fruit fly.

its more like a cloth mesh bag...not very protective but will keep the dirt off and keep scratches at a minimum or sand out at the beach.

Yes it does and even without them the bottoms onthe sides are mesh so the wind can blow through. I used this for a few days on the beach and didn't have any problems. If you're realy worried it also has tent pegs, but those aren't great for sand. We also had a small cooler that we had and moved it to the edge to stay out of the way and that might have helped, but we never noticed it doing anything.
