8 Foot Beach Umbrella UPF100+ with Tilt & Fiberglass Ribs Review

Saw this item in store in Ocean City, NJ, but they didn't have any.
Got from Amazon and project is great and not too heavy. Very easy
to use and setup, great shade and coverage. Value for $50 is excellent.
Lots of compliments and it would be easy to sell these at double the
price on the beach.
Not much more heavier than the 5' model it replaced. Get an anchor
to hold in sand. Don't bother with a smaller umbrella, bigger is
better and worth the money.

This attractive multi-color pattern beach umbrella with 8 foot canopy diameter overcomes several of the design weaknesses of traditional beach umbrellas. Its strategically designed wide vented canopy provides air passage to allow for more stability. The non-corroding heavy duty frame is constructed with fiberglass ribs and spreaders for more flexibility providing steady, reliable protection during windy conditions, unlike traditional beach umbrellas ribs go inside-out making it unusable. *Rapid Thumb release snap button as locking function to prevent upper and bottom pole splitting during wind gust.

Coleman 2-Pole Sun Shade Review

Coleman 2-Pole Sun Shade

The shelter is multifunctional in that it can be set up like a tent, a lean-to, or a canopy with some extra poles(haven't tried this one yet). The problem is this is not a one person, albeit, sometimes not even a two-person operation. And on a beach with winds of as little as 15 mph it become an exercise in perseverance. Actually had to bring some rocks to anchor this down,(the wind kept pulling up the anchors up from the sand). Sand bags might help. But frankly anything less than perfect, windless weather makes setting it up a challenge,(undo-able in less than 10 minutes). The fabric is excellent and the UV factor really shields from the sun. Once set up, functions great, used it as a lean-to in Acadia National Park on their beach front. That's why I only gave it a 3 star. Would have loved to have given it a 5 star, but its impractical for a family of 4 (2 adults-2 sm. children) or a single individual or even a couple without hassling. Probably for a group of 3-4 adults it might go smoother and not in high wind situations. Probably will be returning mine and looking for other alternative shelters.
