Rip Curl Lightweight UV Beach Tent

— Show original

Lightweight canopy for beach use. Probably perfect on a hot summer day, provides shade and cooling ventilation (nets on the sides). The work and functionality are reasonable, although it is a very inexpensive canopy, so time will tell how it will hold up to use. I personally go to the campfire site in a backpack both in summer and winter. When "stacked" in the canopy, the sticks are quite long, about 80 cm, so they cannot be transported to the forest on their own. I would have hoped that the sticks could be cut to half this, about 40 cm, but the structure does not allow this. Quick to set up, actually a kind of "pop-up" canopy. It comes with modest plastic wedges with which to fasten the canopy to the ground (in summer), but they probably won't last in winter, that's why I use other metal wedges.
