The beach tent of my dreams
581922
This tent is exactly what I wanted.  So easy to assemble, quality made, great design.  Tall enough for me to sit in on my folding chair as I watch my grandchildren play on the beach.  Used it today and the breeze was blowing through as we ate lunch.  Couldn't be happier with my purchase.  I set it up in just minutes and was able to easily take it down, pack it up and carry it myself.( and I am a senior citizen)

Finally got to use it! First thing I noticed is that it's light and fits easily into my pack. Next I noticed how easy it was to set up...I didn't even have the instructions and I could do it by myself just by looking at it. There are two pole sets, one big one that is the framework that holds the tent up, and one small three-section pole that widens it out. Third, the tent is all mesh which is great for fair weather camping especially for falling asleep looking at the stars. I did set it up with the rain fly and it also did its job well with minimal condensation. I think stringing a tarp on a ridgeline above the tent is the way to go though. Fourth, it's plenty big for me and my two kids. There's room in the dual vestibules for your gear leaving the entire tent for sleeping space. I noticed the floors were bathtub design and the seams were far above where any flowing water from rainfall may try to seep in. Then I realized how much I loved the freestanding design. My kids tracked sand, weeds, and twigs into the thing so all I had to do was pull the tent stakes and I could pick the entire assembled tent up, flip it over and shake it out. Lastly, everyone knows the worst part of camping is packing back up. Trying to fit a tent back into the packing in which it came is maddening. This whole thing fit back into the nylon sleeves as easy as it came out. By far the best tent I could have picked.

I looked at so many tents before chosing this one.  I am so happy with my choice.  It is easy to set up (I even manage it alone when needed), it is very sturdy, and the extras like the side panels, the heavy duty wheeled bag, and the included weight bags make this a great deal!  At my first market, other vendors were checking it out and couldn't believe how good the quality was and all that was included for the price.
The top canopy is very thick and yet it doesn't block out light.  It is so bright under the tent! I use the door panel on the back so we can exit easily and get ventilation without having to remove the whole panel.  Other vendors have commented on how nice the door panel is. For my first year at the markets, I was thrilled to learn I had chosen a great tent.  It is a great package!

This easy pop up beach tent by Leaders Accessories is a great tent to have with you at the beach for anyone who likes to be able to be out of the hot Florida sun.  I've already had skin cancer, so I prefer to be out of the sun, but I love to go to the beach so this is perfect for me.  The beach tent is super easy to set up.  I had one that cost me $100, but with the wind it lasted me 4 visits to the beach and it ended up with a huge rip down one side.  The only difference I liked better between that tent and this one is that it had a door for closing.  However I didn't really use the door anyways, but it would be nice for other purposes for the tent.  This tent is definitely much stronger and holds up easily in stronger winds.  Set up literally takes seconds as long as you lay it out right.  There are 2 windows that can be opened and closed and allow a nice breeze to flow through the tent.  It also comes with ropes and stakes in case you want to tie it down.  There are some sand bags as well to help hold it down.  There is also a pocket in the tent for holding small items.  My favorite part is that it's coated to be spf 50 so I don't have to worry about harmful rays damaging my skin and my son and I have a safe place to hide from the sun when we need it.  It's also not a very large or heavy tent so I don't mind taking it with us, but it allows us enough room for my family of 3 and a friend if needed.  I did receive this item at a discount in exchange for my honest review.

I thought long and hard about which one of the various beach tents to buy.  I wanted easy up, but strong enough to stand firm in a wind.  I wanted big, but not so big it was unmanageable.  This tent did not disappoint me. I have had my grandchildren on the beach several times now and this tent has been a real blessing.  It lets wind pass through, staying nice and cool while keeping the baby out of the sun. It held fast in the wind, not buckling as the quick pop tents do.  The fiberglass poles are light but strong.  Putting it up is effortless after a couple of practice shots.  I did find that it is best to stake the corners or fill the sandbags first if the wind is strong.  It folds up and fits easily into it's carrying bag, weighing almost nothing.  Grandpa the pack mule really appreciates the nice long should strap on the carrying bag and I move a mountain of beach toys and diaper bags to the water's edge.  Great product!

Awesome tent! I saw this tent before my family and I left for vacation and didn't order it.  I really thought it would be a great break from the sun for me and my kids so I decided to order it.  I used it at the beach on a windy day and it held up great!

I camp every month for at least 5 days. I love to cook and have quite a kitchen set up. This tent not only has room for all my kitchen gear, but I can also put a 6' table in the center with fold up chairs to sit and enjoy the meal with my fellow campers. The best thing is it has a floor. You don't find too many screen houses with floors. This keeps out the little critters who love to share my food, lol. I'm not talking about the flies, bees, gnats and wasps. That is a given with most screen tents. I'm talking about the mice, kangaroo rats, snakes and all the little crawling friends.

My only problem is a design flaw with the pole attachments across the top. The ends just go into a grommet and stay with tension. I am in wind almost always. It can withstand the normal constant breeze, but the big gusts cause the house to bow and give, which is expected. But the ends have popped out on me more than a few times. My first house got hit with a gust and an end came out and tore thru the top, and gave me a 2' rip. I fixed that. I have devised a way to keep the ends in, but I shouldn't need to do this. Think of something Wenzel. I Love this screen house. So much so that I bought another one and is in storage when this one finally bites the dust. I take care of all my equipment very well, but when u camp as much as I do, things will wear out.

It is easy to put up and down and folds down to a great size in the bag. Just fix the flaw please. I'd buy 2 more. Promise! Sherry:)

I've had this tent for about 3 years now, I bought it new around $200 and briefly debated getting a 8 person tent but I went with the 6 person and it has plenty of room with a queen air mattress, our packs, and even our large dog. I've probably gone on about 15-20 camping trips with the tent over 45-60 nights. It's been through the rain, cold, and heat.

This tent is a breeze to set up, I can set it up and take it down by myself, though it helps to have an extra set of hands.

The tent bag is awesome and actually holds the tent after you open it. After you open the tent bag, there are tabs or rip strips that you pull/remove to allow the bag to expand and hold the tent after you've unpacked it.

The tent is TALL. I'm 5'11" and can stand comfortably to get dressed, move around, etc. You don't really know what you're missing out on until you go back to camping in a dome tent. Friends have purchased the similar dome style instant tent, they take up the same ground area and are the same height but you lose SO much usable walking/standing area is lost because the dome shape. However, this tent doesn't suffer from that problem and it's something a lot of people overlook when they look at a tent's "size" (simply the L x W x H).

It's rained a few times while we were in the tent, only had literally a couple drops come in when it was raining hard sideways (it came in from the top vents we left open), but like I said, this was literally just a few drops, not even enough to make the sleeping bag damp. My girlfriend insists we get the rainfly so  we can keep the windows open during the storms, but I don't think it's completely necessary. The tent is waterproof and has a nice base that will resist at least 2+" of standing water under and around the tent.

I think this tent would be a perfect size for 3-4 adults with gear. I like this tent and it's holding up well, there are no signs of wear, holes, etc. that might indicate that it's on it's way out. This is unfortunate, because I was kinda looking forward to ordering another size insta-tent and have no excuse to do so.

My only recommendation would be to lay down a tarp to protect the bottom of the tent. It's not necessary and I've skipped it a few times, but it keeps the bottom cleaner when you store the tent and helps prevent holes from forming.

5/5 I recommend this tent to anyone who dreads set up/take down of tents, likes to be able to maneuver around inside the tent while changing, or enjoys having spacious living arrangements at camp. While everyone else is still feeding poles through their tent sleeves, my gf and I are already relaxing in our chairs with a beverage watching the other couples bicker on who's setting up the tent wrong.

I LOVE this shelter.  The cords on top let you open it as easily as opening an umbrella.  Anyone can set it up in seconds, with no loose parts to lose. It's sturdy in a breeze and beautiful and SO comfortable.  I love it far more than a beach umbrella.  The floor is solid and nicely made and everything gets far less sandy than an open blanket.  The only drawback is that on a warm day in the full sunlight it can be a bit toasty.  But on the other hand if you're chilled from being wet, that's a good thing.

I was beyond nervous about this purchase but when I tell you that this is not a purchase but a GREAT investment and you will have NO regrets. I was traveling alone on a holiday weekend with a toddler and this tent was the most convenient thing every. Super easy to carry, pop open, and close. It protected us from the sun at the festival and beach. I will be honest that at the beach the cooler and plenty of wet sand held the tent down against the winds so please do not think you can just set this tent up and walk away because that thing will be GONE. LoL ... Please don't let that keep you from buying this bc it's my summer boyfriend and goes everywhere with me. Also you will need a mat to lay out in front of it so as adults you can lay in the shade and relax comfortably. Also the tent is not hot at all!!!!

This tent is HUGE! I lived in it for over a month, I was able to fit a queen size memory foam mattress on a platform inside it, as well as a big armchair, table, and the whole center area was still open to walk around in! There was one night of down pour and I found out my tent was in the low part of the field. No worries though! The bottom was sort of floating on the water, kept it all out while I dug a few trenches, and all my stuff was bone dry.  It is very heavy and you need 2 people to set it up for sure, so it would only be good for car camping, but it was a fantastic tent especially for the price, and if I ever need a huge one again, this is the one I'll choose!

I absolutely love this beach tent! It is big enough to put two adult size beach chairs in and still have more room left over.  It is made of good quality material and the screen window mesh is doubled so it doesn't tear easily. It is easy to put up and down and is very study. I'm very happy with my purchase. Also,  this is rated the BEST, number 1 beach tent for 2018.

Every year our family of 4 goes on a weeklong camping trip to the beach.  We wanted to find a tent that had plenty of room for all of our air mattresses (one queen and two twins), plus plenty of walkaround area and space for all of our, well, stuff.  While a 16 person tent may seem a bit excessive, we found it to be absolutely perfect.  We put all of the air mattresses in the back room and still had floor area to walk around them.  In the front room we had some chairs, our suitcases, rug for our shoes, and still had plenty of open floor space.  Finally for once our camping trip didn't turn into a cluttered mess by the end!  One of the nights we had a crazy thunderstorm with heavy rain that lasted a long time, and we did not find one drop of water in the tent.  The tent is very sturdy and well made, and we look forward to using it on our camping trips for years to come.

The only con, I believe, is that the tent does not have any inner pockets to store small items.  Although with all the space inside, it never was a problem for us.

We purchased the tent on the VM Innovations website.

Fabulous! It is so easy to put up and take down, I couldn't believe it when my husband showed me. It was a wonderful tent to take to the beach on our trip! It fit all four of my kids great when we picnicked lunch one day. Very spacious, the windows are great for a breeze and it kept all of our beach gear cool. Highly, highly recommend!

This is a great tent for the beach. It really does set up in under 2 minutes. With the stakes and sandbags full the tent stayed well anchored down through constant ocean breezes and gusts up to 15 mph. Can't wait to use again!

Oh my, let me start by saying we go days, over week long camping trips and this tent never let's us down. It sleeps my partner and I, along with our German Shepard, very comfortability. One of the first nights we actually set it up, no one stayed in it. A good storm came through that night with some high wind, nothing in the tent, and it stayed well in place.
Zipped, fabric, quality, I just can't recommend this tent enough. Tough little tent! Oh and the poles are very strong and snap together, literally snap in place, so easy!

After doing alot of looking around at all kinds of tents for the beach I chose this tent for a few reasons. One important reason was all the great reviews about customer service. Second was the size of the tent. Perfect for those of us who have small vehicles or have no vehicle at all. Extremely light weight. And folds up to be simple for even a child to carry. Also I love that it has windows and pockets for small items like phone and keys. It is perfect for refuge from too much sun but also not such a big tent that it is a big project. It was so simple to pop open and to close even easier. love the color to. Just do what the instructions tell u to do. Have the poles in proper position before popping open tent. And the room to open it up in so that the tent can freely expand.
