Qipi Beach Cabana - Easy to Set Up Canopy, Waterproof, Portable 6' x 6' Beach Shelter, Included Side Wall, Shade with UPF 50+ UV Protection, Ultimate Sun Umbrella - for Kids, Family & Friends

Sturdy, easy to assemble compared to many alternatives, and fairly priced. The additional side linen is a great feature, as it helps block out harsh sunlight and adds comfort. I tested it under glaring sun and in winds up to 15-20 mph, and it held up comfortably without any issues. Overall, a well-designed and reliable product that balances quality, functionality, and value.

I've had this beach tent for 2 years now. Used it multiple times in all different conditions. Ive waited to do a review to really test this thing and see how it held up. Im thoughly impressed. Set up is a breeze, literally can be set up in minutes with 1 person. While I'm sitting in mine, relaxing, and I see other people struggling trying to set their tents up I kinda chuckle 🤭 and think to myself should of bought the qipi! So today we're at the beach and its WINDY, gusts at 20mph and a steady wind of about 10ish mph. So its pretty windy and my tent is nice and study and others look like their about to blow away 😬 So it comes with the tent which pops up just like a regular umbrella and you slide it in to the pole which you drive into the sand, it has a metal leverage piece you slide into the sand pole so you can really get the pole into the sand deep enough after you slide the tent pole into the base that's in the sand you tighten the coupling and fill the legs with sand and boom done! Literally minutes. If your like me who is a vampire and burns with the slightest exposure to sun, it had a side wall that attaches to the top with clips and you fill the bottom pockets with sand. It also protects from rain if you get a pasing shower on the beach. Take down is a breeze also, even easier than setting up. Dump the sand out pop the umbrella down and boom done. The bag that it comes with is nice and sturdy, I literally wear it on my back like a back pack so my hands are free to carry other stuff to the beach. It's not ment to be a back pack but hell it works! My family of 4 fits perfecly under it with room for more. The pictures I'm posting here is the windiest conditions I've had it in and its barely moving and you can see the "others" in the back ground doing the stanky leg 😂 This is seriously worth the $90, its much cheaper than the competition and looks way better too, like I'm not embarrassed of having a janky tent. Photos show with the side up and no side panel. AND you can use this not just at the beach but even at camp grounds, lakes or on a picnic, it has steaks to drive into the grass or you can fill the pouches with something other than sand, so its really versatile and not just a beach item. Like I said I've had it for 2 years now spent $90 and it still looks new, still sturdy, travel bag has held up. No rust or mold or anything. Solid investment 👌 and if anything happens to this one I'd 100% buy another one! TIP! Fill your legs with sand and put the legs down in the hole you dug so there is tension on the legs. Then pack the sand around as well.

Easy to put up, stands up in the wind, provides shade for 2-4 people. Love the extra side wall. It adds to shade area and blocks wind. Light weight. Carried it to the beach.

I had been looking at a more expensive brand but decided to give this a try. I needed it for a last minute beach trip and it had good reviews. Pros: super simple to set up. Could probably do it alone but two people was easier. It held up nicely in average wind. Cons: it was just a little too small for two people. We had a tough time staying in the shade. First big gust of wind and it went flying. Granted it was a strong wind but I was a little disappointed. It wasn’t great at blocking burning rays. Don’t skip the sunscreen. Overall I did like it. It did what it said it would do. Was easy to get to and from the beach. So I gave it the 5 stars.

Great cabana as advertised: it is light, setup is pretty easy, design is pretty, gives plenty of shade and it holds well in some wind. We Just Used it for the first time - it is missing the 4 stakes but filling the corner bags with sand worked fine ; wish it came with a turning wrench to help get the stake into the sand; but everything else is fine!

This was amazing for our week Long Beach trip. Super easy to put up, super easy to take down, and it was great because with or without wind it was great for keeping us shaded, unlike the Shaboomi that our family had, that needs wind in order to work. The design is great, the one flaw would be the material isn’t as great quality as I thought, as the material has started to fray in the bag and in a couple of the sand pockets. For the price, though, a couple of seasons out if it would be perfect.

This is worth 5 stars overall for stability in wind once assembled but it’s just a *bit* tricky to assemble. First of all, it really does require 2 people or else it’s going to be at least significantly more difficult with one. It’s basically an umbrella, which is good for set up. Other “cabanas” can be kind of tents, with multiple parts and or complicated set ups. But this is basically like deploying an umbrella. A few tricky points and tips below. You’ll want to bury it in the sand farther than the directions say (the blue line on the bottom pole). Especially if it’s at all windy. The bottom pole has a screw to screw into the sand instead of digging a hole. It comes with a small rod that you put through the two button holes that later lock the top part in place. The small rod is used as a handle to screw the bottom into the sand. Again go past the blue line. The pictured finished “cabana” shown was assembled on a day quite windy (10-20 mph winds) and stood steady for the whole day without further attention. Note, the little table doesn’t come with this that was purchased separately. As I said it’s easy enough but for two crucial steps. One, when you open up the umbrella top portion the red lever (pictured) that holds it in place is a bit difficult to release (the latch) and open up the umbrella part. It’s not spring loaded like usual hand held umbrellas in other words. But with one person holding the end level, and the other releasing the red latch it’s easy enough to open I suppose. Just takes a bit of force. Secondly, and this is the trickiest part, the silver pop out buttons that lock the upper to the lower rod as shown, are not obvious how to line up when guiding the (somewhat top heavy) umbrella into the lower rod. What would help really is if they were made with some kind of guide marking, so you could line the two parts up and keep them lined up as you slide the top part into the bottom. Line a red or white line on both parts so you could keep them lined up to make the silver pop out buttons easily snap into place as they got to the holes. Otherwise, as you can imagine, it’s like a guessing game trying to find at what level and position the buttons are to get them to snap out of the holes. Takes a bit of focus and strength to keep the top lined up to the bottom as you guide it down to where the holes are. You’ll also want to be sure both buttons snap in place sometimes one of them isn’t quite lined up. Again with two people this process is easier. I intend to paint some guide lines on the poles to simplify this step in the future. Other than those two issues it works great. And stays in place even in high winds. One final piece of advice: dig a small hole for each of the 4 sandbags and put them in the hole after you fill the bags with sand. They seem to be even more stable when you do that (instead of just laying them on the sand). It can accommodate a person about 5’8” tall when assembled, without crouching down, even if you bury the center rod past the blue line. If you stop at the blue line (on non windy days) might even go to 5’10” although never tried stopping at the blue line.

This is my first investment into any beach gear and worth every penny. Took it with me over the weekend to Cape Henlopen and spent back to back two full days from sunrise to sunset under it. Easy to set up and did not take long. On my own, even under windy conditions it took me all of maybe 3-5 minutes. It was extra windy and this held up well. I noticed no tears or weak parts. I utilized the extra piece of fabric cover as the sun shifted behind me and that was useful. I felt very cozy under it and it motivates me to come to the beach much more often now that I can just set this up and lounge under it snacking, reading, and napping after a swim.
