Neso Gigante - Portable Beach Tent - Ideal to Enjoy with Family and Friends - UPF 50+, Water-Resistant, and Lightweight - Black, 11' x 11'

We were waiting for a second set of poles to arrive and decided to take our Neso to our local park to do a test run on it before we go to the beach later this summer.We have only ever had traditional canopies for our outdoor adventures and I have to say this was super easy to set up and use. Granted we did not fill the bags with sand(we don’t have beaches in WV), we just staked it in the ground for our test run. Setting up with stakes took all of 3 minutes to accomplish, we imagine filling the bags with natural elements like sand will take a bit longer but seems like maybe only an extra 10 minutes with 2 of us working on it at the same time.We had about 10MPH breezes rolling through and the Neso didn’t even notice the breeze.I think the only thing I would say is a con is that it doesn’t come with any type of shovel or anything to help you get natural elements into the sand bags. But that’s easily remedied if you buy a folding shovel(we will before our beach trip), it will fit easily into the bag, as the carrying bag has extra room in there.A feature I didn’t realize was there…The carrying bag has an insulated pouch to carry a cold drink or two. Which is a nice touch.All in all, the set up was easyIt provided sufficient shade for our family of 4.Didn’t budge in 10MPH breeze.Got a few compliments.Easy take down. Taking down and packing up was a breeze, so much easier than a traditional canopy.We are really happy with the performance and ease of use for this product.Update:Took our Neso sun shade out for its maiden voyage on the beaches of Outer Banks. The first day within the first 2 hours both poles snapped in half. Luckily we had purchased an extra set of poles before we left for the beach. Could by user error as we had only set it up at our local park before our beach vacation where there was a small breeze. The rest of our vacation our extra set of poles kept our Neso up, so as I said the snapping of the first 2 poles could have just been user error or a manufacturing issue.Setting it up, using sand to fill the bags was a breeze, quick and almost effortless. I had mentioned thinking we would need a shovel, but I was wrong, it was easy to fill the bags by hand and probably faster than using a shovel. We also took an extra step and buried the bags in the sand, which I think helped to keep the bags stable in the high winds.Taking down, I thought we would have issues with sand wanting to stick to the bag, but again I was wrong, if you shake the bags out properly, the sand doesn’t stick in the bags.All in all we are very happy with our purchase of our Neso Sunshade. We are sad that we are back down to one set of poles as we would like to have the additional set for other applications.

I grew up, going to Lake Powell and Mexico to beaches where wind is always an issue, and we use pop-up shades as known throw-always after each season. I decided it was worth trying the extra money to not stress about breaking frames of pop-ups in the wind when I purchased this extra large Neso sunshade. I purchased two extra feet so that we could make it a hole for post shade. At first I was worried when I put it up because it was so wobbly but once we buried the sandbags for extra weight, it’s stretched out awesome. It moves with the wind and doesn’t grab it like a parachute like a pop-up shade. I love the color and the portability of it because it was smaller than a kids backpack. I’m a little worried about how it will hold up where the posts sit inside of the Lycra. I guess we will see how long they last. But they look amazing and they are dynamic instead of static, which I think has made a huge difference. The sun does shine a little bit through, but it also lets a little wind through, and it moves with the wind. We loved it, and it looked stylish. It was definitely taller and way bigger than any other pop-up shades that we could manage. Highly recommend after 7 days at rocky point.

I thought the idea of this large canopy was great and still do. But this product failed to provide the cover as advertised. First the sandbag idea sucks. That doesn't work unless you dig a hole in the beach and bury the sandbags. I found it easier to just get some beach umbrella augers, twist them in and tie it off. Extra time and money to come up with your own ideas to anchor the corners. Then the fabric ripped at the point of contact with the poles, the very place where you need the most strength. So the product is not very durable in the typical windy conditions at the beach. NOT excessive winds mind you. Normal beach wind. The weld between the fabric and the corner grommets all failed one by one. Had to rig rope and duct tape to salvage our beach trip.It comes with two poles for a lean-to setup. Realistically nobody is doing that on the beach so they're banging you for extra $$$ right up front by charging extra for the third and fourth pole.The goal was a large area canopy which is still the goal. But this product fails on cost, reliability, durability and ultimately it's utility value. It's very easy to take down. Just wait until the wind blows it over and pick up the pieces.

I took one star off for not having detailed instructions on how much weight to put in the four bags .We started with two gallons of soft sand in a windy day and ended up needing four total gallons and wet sand worked better in terms of weight .If you don’t get enough weight in the bags , it will collapse as other reviews have had issues with . Just keep adding sand or rock and try again . As soon as you have the correct amount of weight , there are NO issues with the tent or canopy staying up even in HIGH wind .It Makes no noise which I was specifically looking for as its competition is loud .We got the gigantic and more than enough room for 5 of us.It does ripple in the wind so that was something I was not sure of , but seeing others on the beach , theirs does too and it does not fall in .Key is to add a lot of weight to the bags .Bring a bucket to help with that .We love it and love the whale fabric !We alway used umbrellas and I could not get them deep enough , but this is great and easy for me to put up .

Me encanto, facil de armar y desarmar. La tela no se calienta, la escogi negra y debajo estaba muy fresco. Deben enterrar los sacos de arena para que este mas firme con el viento.

Excelente producto, muy útil y muy ligero

This was a gift to our son who’s into camping, surfing, outdoor activities, etc. He loves it and has already taken it on a family camping weekend.

After four metal gazebos and a huge tarp/sail with fence posts - this one actually doesn’t get destroyed by the wind on our cottage beach.I did order the extra poles and it stays up really well - but the clincher is that if a high wind comes along, it just falls flat onto the sand…and that’s okay.Definitely recommend.
