Neso Tents Beach Tent with Sand Anchor, Portable Canopy SunShade - 2.1m x 2.1m - Patented Reinforced Corners(Black)

We like the wild beach kind of holiday, and always found the need for self-made shade to hide under during the peak harmful sun hours. After years of trying different pop-up tents and umbrellas, we finally decided to splurge on this rather expensive item, and we're so happy we did. It's super compact, easy to setup and pack up again, has minimum parts to assemble, and very cleverly designed. You really do have to stretch it while it's flat to make it work the best! The material is pleasant to touch, and super easy to fold back into the carry bag. The poles are stable enough to stay upright even in mild wind, although we had some troubles with the side wind, but nothing a few more stones in the bags and digging the poles deeper into the ground couldn't solve. The pole positioning can really affect the stability and the amount of both the shade that it creates and the space under it. We really did like the airiness of the shade this tent provides - you still get all the breeze, with all the protection. The material also blocks out the UV, and it's a massive added bonus. We also used it to extend the cover on the boat, and didn't put it down for the ride back, and this tent held up - so bonus points for durability! Overall, it's a fantastic piece of holiday equipment, and is an absolute must have on wild beaches. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny.

Light enough to take on holiday, packed in the suitcase. Quick to put up and super simple. Worked well to provide shade on the beach for the whole family when needed (5 of us). Stood up better to winds that some of the umbrella style shades that others were using. Very happy!

We are a family of 3, beach lovers and tired of buying umbrellas and we were tired of throwing it away at the end of each holiday (Save the planet and all...) We did not use the bag it comes in as we were travelling with only hand luggage. The poles fitted nicely in the hand luggage and the thick and soft fabric folds however you want. We used our back pack to carry it to and from the beach. At first we thought it would be oversized but when we used on the beach we found it to be perfect, however you do need a good space and also it blocks the view from whoever is behind you. Once you understand how to use, it is quick and easy to set up. You can change the length of the cords securing the tent making it easy to adjust as the sun moves and the shade changes position and it gives a great protection from the sun. Easy to clean as the fabric or the poles don't hold any sand. Returning home we washed in the washing machine and line dried the fabric and wiped down the poles. Fabric and poles feels of good quality materials and we believe it will see many travels on its life. We really recommend this tent and will definitely continue to use it.

Used this on our recent holiday to Corsica and our lovely big shade drew lots of admiring attention from other tourists. Ok some practical stuff - I had a medium-sized suitcase for our holiday and this fitted pretty well without taking up too much valuable space for clothes and shoes! It's got a carrying case and strap which made it super easy to get to and from the beach. The first day we were on the beach it was quite windy and we hadn't filled the sand anchors with anywhere near enough sand, so it wasn't very structurally stable inititally. Once we filled them till they were virtually bursting at the seams we were sorted and the shade held up in the wind pretty well. It's definitely a two person job to put up though, I'm not sure it would have been very easy to put up on my own. It provided a much more shade for two people than most of the parasols we saw people with on the beach, and it packs down much smaller than a parasol too. The beach we were on wasn't particularly crowded, but if it had been the shade might have been a bit of a challenge as it has quite a large footprint due to the sand anchors needing to be stretched out from the main fabric shade. I didn't give it 5-stars because I don't think it's particularly good value for money. I could have made one myself with relative ease! Essentially it's a large piece of lycra fabric with some reinforced eyelets on each corner. There are cords coming off the corners and the 'sand anchors' are constructed like drawstring bags attatched to this cord (also made of lycra). The two aluminum poles are very similar to tent poles and have a small 'foot' at the bottom and a high-density foam ball at the top a little smaller than a tennis ball, which you stetch the fabric over.

I read a lot of reviews before I bought this tent, some negative comments about not be able to use the tent on windy day. We used it first time today. The weather was sunny and a little windy, there is no issue with the tent if you set it up on the right direction , a bit shaky when wind blowes but normal tent also shaky ,the tent did not collapse so I see no issue with windy days (of course not strong wind).set up is easy and design is cool, I can spot my tents on a busy beach . Overall ,very good and I'm going to buy a pair of neso chairs to use together with the tent!

Great sun tent, simple to use. The one thing that let this product down is the case. It’s falling apart after only 7 days of use!!! All we did was unpack and pack up, the seam is coming apart already.

I read a lot of reviews for this product and similar beach canopies and two things struck me. Firstly, the disparity between people who either love the product and those who say that it simply collapses in the slightest breeze. And secondly, that the same tips/techniques kept being repeated in the reviews. I'm very happy to say that having read so many reviews, and now on holiday in Miami, setting up could not have been simpler and the canopy stayed up all day, in the wind, every time. So, to reiterate: (1) Figure out which way the wind is blowing. (2) Lay your canopy out flat on the floor with the front side facing directly into the wind so that the wind will be flowing through it from front to back. (3) Fill those sand bags up, then overfill them, then stretch them apart, then bury them or at least dig a little trenches for each of them. This takes about a minute for each bag, it's not hard at all. This product works with tension so make sure it's stretched out tight but also be mindful not to rip it to shreds if you're some sort of He-Man. (4) Place the ballpoint of each stake about one foot from each front corner of the canopy. I wish they had put markings on the canopy for this so that you can easily get the stakes in exactly the same position on each side but that's just me being a bit 'OCD'. The stakes will naturally sink into the sand slightly but don't try jamming them into the ground, they have flat feet that are *not* intended to be forced underground. Angle those stakes slightly so that they are leaning into the wind. (5) Go back round and readjust your sandbags if you wish. That's it. If you have read this, you will be absolutely fine. I write this as someone who is not handy at all. And as someone with fair skin this has made spending hours outdoors at the beach an absolute game-changer. The product is super portable in its carry bag and so easy to pack back up again. It does take up more space than the typical two chairs and an parasol so take that into consideration if your favourite beach is low on space. Ignore the reviews from anyone saying that this product doesn't work. It's simply not true; these are widely sold for good reason. Enjoy! 🌅

Don’t waste your money on this, altho it’s seems of quite good quality its useless in any thing more than a slight breeze and I mean slight, constantly having to adjust the supporting poles to stop it collapsing, gave up in the end.

Ik ben helaas teleurgesteld in deze strandtent. Ze kan eigenlijk alleen gebruikt worden als er helemaal geen wind staat. Zodra er wat wind is, waait de tent voortdurend weg, zelfs met de zandankers. Ik heb ze één keer proberen op te zetten op het strand, maar door de wind is dat niet gelukt. Daardoor heb ik ze ook niet echt kunnen gebruiken. Voor wie alleen bij volledig windstil weer naar het strand gaat, kan dit misschien volstaan, maar voor normale strandomstandigheden vind ik dit geen goede aankoop. Jammer genoeg kon ik het product niet meer terugsturen. Voor mij was dit een miskoop.

Testé quotidiennement pendant 2 semaines en Corse, par temps calme et par journées venteuses (35km/h). Vraiment satisfait du produit qui se place largement au-dessus que n'importe quel parasol en terme d'efficacité. Le concept est super malin avec 4 sacs à remplir de sable et 2 barres à embout rond qui viennent se placer sous la toile élastique. Le montage prend 3-4 minutes à tout casser et la toile permet de tenir à 3 sans problème. Par vent faible le système est idéal, c'est un peu plus délicat lorsque le vent se lève ou devient tournant. Néanmoins, il faut juste respecter scrupuleusement la notice de montage: ouverture face au vent, sacs placés en X et tendus. Si le vent est fort: bien étendre les sacs en X afin de tendre la toile au maximum, positionner les piquets, et retendre à nouveau la toile à fond en tirant sur les sacs et en les enterrant dans des trous creusés dans le sable. Le système a toujours super bien tenu en respectant ces règles simples. Lorsque le vent est tournant c'est un peu plus galère à faire tenir: les barres sont tombées 3 fois sur toute une journée de plage par vent fort tournoyant. Mais vu que ça se repositionne en 20 secondes ce n'est pas un problème, et ce n'est pas pire que ceux qui courraient après leurs parasols sur le sable. Attention cependant car une fois installée, la toile prend un peu d'espace: vos voisins de plage risquent de vous regarder de travers si vous vous installez sur une plage déjà bondée :-) Dans tous les cas, vous ferez des envieux car ce système est vraiment super bien foutu et pratique. Update: 2ème saison d'utilisation de la tente, en Bretagne et en Corse. Rien à redire si ce n'est mon entière satisfaction du produit. Tenue parfaite, qualité des matériaux OK et confort toujours aussi agréable. Je recommande ! Update 2020: Toujours aussi satisfait. Utilisée à la plage sur 2 semaines. Au bout de 4 années, la toile ne présente pas de défaut, ni d'usure. Certainement mon meilleur investissement en matière de protection solaire. Update 2022: 6 ans maintenant que j'utilise cette toile, largement rentabilisé maintenant. Pas de défaut, pas de casse. Très content de cet achat. Update 2024: les œillets commencent à tirer un peu sur les coutures, mais la tente est toujours parfaitement fonctionnelle. Update 2025 : la tente fait toujours le job. Toujours aussi pratique. Pas de déchirement, elle tient encore ! Pour la saison 2026 j'envisage un petit traitement d'entretien au produit anti-UV histoire de lui redonner un boost de protection. Je ne sais pas comment a évolué la qualité de fabrication Neso, mais ce modèle acheté en 2017 est juste génial.

Nach Skepsis zum Kauf aufgrund mehrer Bewertungen, die Qualität und Standfestigkeit bemängelt haben, wurde dennoch eins gekauft, weil es irgendwie keine andere Option gab. Entweder ohne da stehen oder mit etwas, das mir als ungläubigem Thomas vielleicht nicht ganz optimal vorkam. Vorher habe ich mich intensiv mit Vergleichsvideos auf YouTube etc. erkundigt, wie man welches Modell am besten aufbaut und wann man wie wo was am besten macht, bis ich mir ein eigenes Bild davon gemacht hatte. Entsprechend überrascht war ich, wie falsch doch die meisten Reviews, die die Standfestigkeit bemängelten, waren. Der Aufbau geht super schnell und leicht, das Teil wackelt noch nichtmal wirklich, wenn mans entsprechend aufbaut, wie man im beigefügten Video (bei nicht allzu schwachem Wind) sehen kann. 1. Schau woher der Wind kommt und plane entsprechend den „Eingang“ vom Sonnensegel, also „vorne“ so, dass der Wind eben dort halbwegs geradlinig durchfegen kann. 2. Fülle alle 4 Säcke mit 5-6 Schaufeln Sand, sodass sie schon Gewicht haben, aber noch leicht zu bewegen sind und ziehe bereits ein wenig dran, sodass leichte Spannung entsteht. Mehr geht sowieso nicht, weil nicht alle Säcke voll sind oder zu wenig Sand drin ist. Das dient nur zur Ausrichtung und prinzipiellen Positionierung. 3. Runde Nummer 2: Gehe von Sandsack zu Sandsack und fülle Sie mit mehr Sand und ziehe sie weiter vom Segel weg, um die Spannung zu erhöhen. Die Säcke sollten jetzt schon gut gefüllt sein, nicht randvoll aber ausreichend voll, damit sie einen Zug von der Gegenüberliegenden Seite standhalten können. 4. Runde Nummer 3: Gehe von Sandsack zu Sandsack und ziehe sie jeweils nochmals weiter vom Segel weg. Dieses mal aber: Buddel an der Stelle, wo du glaubst, dass die Spannung hoch genug ist ein Loch in den Sand, sodass wie eine Art „Wand“ entsteht (dass Loch muss tief genug sein, dass der Sandsack im vollen Zustand auch reinpasst, sonst bringt das gar nichts!!!), die den Sandsack aufhalten wird, sobald das Segel von den später einzusetzenden Stangen noch mehr Zug auf den Sandsack ausübt. Dann füll den Sandsack bis zum Rand voll mit Sand, bis gar nichts mehr reinpasst(!!!) und bedecke ihn und das Loch mit Sand. 5. Sobald alle 4 Sandsäcke in ihren „Löchern“ im Boden liegen, komplett voll sind und mit Sand bedeckt sind, stell die beiden Standen rein. Achte darauf, dass beim Aufstellen der Stangen keiner der Sandsäcke verrutscht. Falls doch, habt ihr entweder nicht genug Sand drinnen oder das Loch ist nicht tief genug. 6. Stelle die Stangen im leichten Winkel (ca. 20-30°) nach Innen auf, sodass sie so stehen, als ob sie sich gegen den Wind lehnen würden. Das dient nochmal für mehr Stabilität. 9 Tage Urlaub, 9x auf und abgebaut auf obige Weise, dauert ohne Routine 5-6 Minuten, mit Routine 2-3 Minuten. Keine Naht gerissen, kein Nachgeben vom Stoff, nix. Das Ding ist immer noch ganz. Ich wollte es nicht mehr missen. Wir haben das Neso1 gekauft zum probieren. Ich wünschte, ich hätte eine Nummer größer gekauft. Für uns drei Personen war es vollkommen ausreichend, es wurde nur dann ein bisschen knapp, als unser Sohn noch im Schatten im Sand spielen wollte. Es hat noch absolut ausgereicht dafür aber war nicht üppig vom Platz her für ihn. Daher (nur um den Spiel- und Buddelraum im Schatten zu vergrößern) hätte ich wohl besser die Nummer größer gekauft. Dennoch voll und ganz zufrieden. Kein Sonnenbrand, kein Stress mit wegfliegenden Schirmen, das Ding stand immer bombenfest (siehe Video). Sind bestimmt 10 mal angesprochen worden, woher wir das Teil haben. Jedes Mal beim Aufbau hat gefühlt auch der ganze Strand zugeschaut. Fand ich irrwitzig. Alle krümmen sich unter ihren Schirmchen, während wir ne riesige Schattenfläche plötzlich hatten. Nie mehr ohne. Finds aber bisl teuer. Nicht, weil die Qualität nicht überzeugt, denn sowohl das Segel, die Sandsäcke und die Stangen mit den Stützfüßen (bitte kauft niemals Stangen ohne Stützfüße, die helfen immens bzgl. der Standfestigkeit der Stangen) sind alle sauber verarbeitet und kein billig Zeugs. Riecht zumindest nicht so und fühlt sich auch nicht so an. In diesem Sinne hoffe ich meine Rezension kann ein paar Leuten zur Entscheidungsfindung helfen. Zusatz nach 6 Urlauben: Die Aufbewahrungstasche hat's bald hinter sich und eine außenliegende Naht hat es nicht überlebt. Die Naht ist allerdings kein Problem, denn die Nutzung ist dadurch nicht eingeschränkt bzw. hat man dadurch keinen Nachteil. Funktioniert also weiterhin wie gehabt.

Cost efficient, easy to transport/set-up, and provides enough shade for 3-4 people! I am very happy with this tent and the color options! Can spot my tent easily along the beach. Highly recommend!

By far....the BEST sun shade I've ever owned. I've owned umbrellas and pop up canopies. But, hands down, this wins all around best choice. The concept is so simple, yet so effective. The fact that you can use beach sand for the anchor method, means you're not toting extra weight or additional supplies to secure this on the beach. It's easy to carry, super lightweight......I'll say that again, SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT. No more sweating your balls off carrying some big, cumbersome, heavy sun shade. Literally, my 5 year old could carry this in one hand. Don't think the low total weight makes this a cheap product. The poles didn't bend or feel weak or cheap. The material is stretchy and seams are well made. The wind was whipping and this thing held up fine. However, if you're an idiot, don't buy this. You want to set the "front" towards the wind (even though most of the time I was at about a 45 degree angle from the wind. Set it up facing the wind (for the most part) and it'll stay up all day. Guys umbrellas were blowing over, people's pop-ups were caving in on the sides, but ours held fast. Set up and take down is soooooo quick. Again, best sun shade by far in this category as well. Aside from all this, it looks bad ass. As soon as we'd set it up, people would start looking and pointing at it. You'd see them grabbing their smartphones to google the web address that's printed on the side. Think about it....you see a family walk on the beach and in a matter of a minute, they've got a sun shade up and functional. Worth the money. Best experience I've had ever with this. You won't be sorry. Let me further elaborate on some specifics: Set up: Spread canopy on the ground (I found aligning/stretching out the front two anchors generally was all I needed to begin). Fill these two anchors with sand. Make front taught, but also realize you want to leave a slight angle on each anchor for best support (not straight out to sides, not straight in front). Then, with the front semi-set in place, do the same for the two back anchors. Then, lock up your two poles and place one under each of the two front corners. I found about 10-12" in was ideal (tee hee). From here, it simply takes some minor positioning of the anchors and poles, but by no means should send you into a 10 minute positioning rage. In a mid to heavy wind, it helps if you bury the anchors in the sand. If you take a break from sipping your beer, you may notice that the anchor bag shows signs of dragging in the sand, this would be an indicator that burying the bag is needed. But remember, dig the hole where the bag was, not where it is or behind it, as this will loosen your setup. Again, common sense, dig hole, drop bag, cover. I did notice throughout the day that I had to make a minor tweak to a pole position or two, but I simply very slightly angled the pole AGAINST the direction it looked like it was going to fall, and voila....instant magic - a stable structure. Some reviews are blowing this up - but again, I am willing to make a no-brainer adjustment if necessary in between beers or building sandcastles. This "trade-off" of tweaking doesn't even register on my radar as it happens so infrequently and it's so minor.......compared to watching the plastic washers and spacers bust or crack off the old-style canopies in a heavy wind, killling small children as a rogue wind lifted a four-legged metal spider off the ground, or have the metal bars on the old-style just bend altogether. How many messed up, broken canopies to you see next to the trash cans on the beach? It's like a freakin' cemetery sometimes. Also, if you have a few beach chairs or little kids, this is a great little setup. It is the perfect height to fit your chairs underneath, a cooler, wagon, and small beach mat. If you're expecting to mingle while standing, or have a rave keeping your hands in the air like you just don't care, then go to a club. I also found the way the anchors spread out, creates a buffer for "your area". And, the fact that the anchor lines are black (contrasts most beach sands or other backgrounds), plus the overall really unique design that draws your eyes down to the anchor points, I have a hard time believing this will ever be a tripping hazard, unless you're drunk, trying to tan in the moonlight, or a teenager texting while walking, or a combination of the three. People on the beach also apparently feel you want to "see all that", so this anchor system at least puts them at some sort of distance where you can't see their pulse through their clothes. Take down is a breeze. Take down the poles (10 sec), dump the bags (20 sec), give it a shake, shove it in the bag. I found it was also really easy to rinse off after use. Seriously, just leaving this review makes me want to go use my Neso again.
