Sport-BrellaUltra UPF 50+ Angled Shade Canopy For Optimum Sight Lines At Sports Events, 8-Foot, Blue, 3452

Excellent for a quick shade and protection from the sun and red kites and seagulls for young children. Quick set up, set down and easy to store.

Very good product

It’s pretty big, even when in its shortest form it’s about 4 foot. In terms of weight it’s not overly heavy but also not lightweight.It sets up very quickly and seems pretty stable. Handy to put bags, coats and subs under when wet.

Sport Brella has not had much use but suffered wind damage last weekend- very disappointingIs it possible to issue a replacement ?

My wife is very sensitive to the sun, but I like to spend pretty much every spare moment at the beach. In seeking to protect her from the sun I've tried all sorts of sunshields and they vary in effectiveness and ease of assembly. Generally, the better they work the harder they are to set up.I think with this one, we've finally cracked it. It's no harder to put up than an umbrella, although the ribs can tend to get tangled up with each other so it can need a gentle touch. The auger buries itself in the sand very easily and is effective (although on windy days I recomend getting some gazebo weight bags to bolster it) and it's packupable in seconds. The main shaft can be folded, so you can get the canopy very close to the ground for maximum coverage, and the venting door at the back allows some through air so it doesn't get too hot. I'm very pleased with it.Downsides are few, but there are some. It can get snagged on opening and forcing it will probably damage it. Gentle untangling is easy to do, but don't force it. There are also some finger traps in there for small children. It's also very long when packed up. The carry bag comes with a shoulder strap but if you're on the short side it will probably drag on the ground as you carry it.Apart from those minor points, it's great. Quick and easy to use and very effective.

Love to sit out in rain and be dry.Had 4 over the years.Only bring inside in winter if it’s very windy

This is excellent on the beach to keep out of the sun and for private when getting changed having picnics etc. Kids also love playing with this. Highly recommended.

Used this in British beach and worked really well. Easier than using a tent to put up and take down. Only fault the zip on the flap not very robust.
