SUN NINJA Beach Tent Sun Shelter, Beach Shade Canopy with UPF50+ Protection

We bough this tent sun shelter gently used. It was still well packaged with all the items still in the box. There were instruction sheets that came along with it. The four poles were packed two each in two bags. The sand scooper, elastic ties and metal anchors were still in the bag and didn't look like they were used. The big blue canopy was also well packed in its own bag. This whole canopy is well packaged and I like how they all have their own bags for storage and then fit into one big bag at the end. Putting up the canopy is easy. We have the XL size and it is true to the dimensions. It gives us plenty of shade and easy to put up and bring it down. Sliding the four legs out to give you the best support for the metal poles. Sand is always at the beach you might as well use it when you can. If you are any other place and need to use this sun shelter they include metal anchors to use. The material of the canopy is flexible and offers you shade when you need it. The material is strong and durable. Easy to move around as needed. When you are done for the day everything fits nicely back into their own bags. This is so easy to carry to and from the beach. The bag fully loaded does have some weight but its doable. Best thing we bought for the beach that will stay put on the most windiest days! Love it. Well worth your money. We may even buy a few more! So easy to put up and take down.

I did a lot of research for a beach shade since all the good ones are expensive. I opted for this one and this thing is great. Easy to set up the with the longest part is filling the anchors with sand which is still fairly quick. No issues on a windy day just need to adjust the poles and anchors accordingly. I got the 7x7 which is pictured here and is great for 1-4 people but the height leaves something to be desired in my opinion. The 7x7 would be perfect with 6 ft poles instead of the 5 foot ones so we opted to get the 10x10 which comes with the 6ft poles which is the perfect height and plenty of space for our family of three and all our beach stuff. With plenty of room to spare. The travel bag is small and takes no room and is not heavy when traveling with your beach items. The only negative is that it does have a large footprint so you will have to have a spot on the beach with a decent amount of room but overall this is a great sunshade.

This was super easy to set up and take down. Lightweight fabric and easy to transport. Allows for a nice breeze. We see a lot of other people using these since buying it, so it’s definitely a popular choice. The fabric feels sturdy and held up well. It gave us plenty of shade, and we were able to stay at the beach for hours without getting burned. I’d definitely recommend it.

I got the 7x7.5 size and it’s actually pretty great. It’s not really big enough for more than 2 people, and you can’t fully stand under it, but it’s easy to set up. It feels sturdy enough and provides shade. Much better suited than the “easy-up” style 10x10 and the tent pole style screen house we had. I would definitely recommend it for a coulple looking for beach shade.

I kept this Sun Ninja in my cart for over a year. I deliberated and researched repeatedly searching for the best product for our needs. I previously bought a much smaller more tent like sun shelter for the beach. We needed something small enough to fit into a suitcase. Our previous tent fits easily into a suitcase and works well but it is incredibly hot with limited air circulation and barely fits my husband and I. I finally bought the Sun Ninja and I wish I had done it sooner! I love it! It has been really well thought out and is well made. No skimping on quality! We were able to quickly assemble and erect it! It took a topple the first day due to high winds but we quickly learned what to do to make it more secure and never had another problem our first beach trip! Much larger and a lot more air circulation! It packs up easily also! It is worth every penny! We already made back what it cost us in savings on umbrella or cabana rentals!

We finally got to test our Sun Ninja, and I’m impressed. Setup: The key is the sand bags—fill them pretty much all the way. Lay it out and get the fabric stretched as tight as you can before the poles go in. Then add the poles and pull everything even tighter. That sequence matters. Performance: It’s held up really well, even with wind. Once it’s tight, it stays put and doesn’t flap around much. Rain: We caught a quick shower. Rain does filter through a bit, so it’s not going to keep your stuff bone dry. Plan on light mist under there—not waterproof. Shade & Sun: I love that I can still catch a tan but feel protected. It cuts the harshness without feeling like I’m hiding under a tarp. Huge win. Portability: Compact and light to carry. Easy to throw in the car and not think twice about it. Pros • Stable in wind when the bags are full and the fabric’s tight • Lets me tan while still taking the edge off the sun • Compact and lightweight—no hauling a beast of a tent Cons • Not waterproof; drizzle comes through • Setup is simple but you do need to really fill those bags and re-stretch after the poles Bottom Line: For beach days and park hangs, this is a keeper. Simple setup (once you know the order), great balance of shade and sun, and easy to carry. Just don’t expect it to be a rain shelter.

Love this, easily to set up, easy to take down, perfectly blocks the sun, not too heavy for taking to the beach and amazingly good in windy conditions. But most of all, it passed the husband test!

07/2024 - Updating after another season and 2 solid weeks of use - TOTALLY WORTH EVERY PENNY. This sucker is fantastic. We have put it through the wringer over the past two weeks, up and down every day, on the beach for hours with decent winds every day. It sets up in less than 5 minutes and stays up for as long as you want it to. Pro tips: - lay it out flat and stretch the corners as far as you can before digging a hole for each pocket. Fill the pockets with sand and bury each pocket in the hole you dug for it. The pockets can hold so much sand - fill them as much as you can. The more you fill and the deeper you bury them, the more wind it can withstand. - once the corners are filled and buried, place the poles about 6 inches in from the corners of the top and stand those suckers up. - if you don’t want as much profile, you can get away with 2-3 poles in the front, setting the whole thing up like a lean-to. - secure the poles with the elastic ties and you’re golden. Update! I called customer service today and they returned my call within 10 mins. They ordered 2 replacement poles for me and expedited shipping so I will have the poles in 48 hours. Perfect customer service! Hi! I’ve been on the beach this week and we brought my Sun Ninja beach tent. Here’s my honest review: So easy! Just stretch the tent out flat on the sand, pulling the 4 corner pouches out super far. Dig holes for each pouch and start filling the pouches with the sand. Make sure the pouch is filled to the brim and snug down in that hole, then cover the pouch with even more sand so it’s buried in that hole. Then place the poles about a foot in from the corner seams, rubber ball up, and stake them down in the sand. You can use 2 poles to do like a lean-to, or 4 to give you more room. Put the elastic bungees on top so they attach the tent fabric to the rubber ball and pull tight. You’re done! When all the parts work, it’s amazing! Pros: ✅ the XL is huge and shady and has room for 4 comfortably, but you could easily fit like 8-10 people under the shade in a pinch ✅ when all the parts are working, you can have it up in 5 mins or less ✅ when you have it up and staked right, it can withstand a lot of wind, not just breeze ✅ comes with a great carry bag and small shovel to fill the pouches Con - just one: ❌ we’ve had 2 faulty poles that get stuck and won’t quite fit all the sections together snugly - I’m going to contact Sun Ninja and will update this review with their response

I love the product, easy to use,nice material, perfect size.

Wir haben das SUN NINJA Strandzelt für den Familienurlaub gekauft, da uns die klassischen Strandmuscheln bei Wind schon oft genervt haben. Nach dem ersten Einsatz können wir sagen: Dieses Sonnensegel ist jeden Cent wert und die perfekte Lösung für heiße Tage am Meer! Aufbau und Stabilität: Der Aufbau ist genial einfach und auch alleine in wenigen Minuten erledigt. Man breitet das Segel aus, füllt die vier Ecksäcke randvoll mit Sand (das ist das Geheimnis für die Stabilität!), zieht es straff und stellt die Aluminiumstangen auf. Selbst bei einer kräftigen Brise am Strand steht das Zelt bombenfest, wo andere Schirme schon längst wegfliegen. Das Segel flext im Wind einfach mit. Sonnenschutz und Platzangebot: Mit dem zertifizierten LSF 50+ UV-Schutz bietet das Zelt einen absolut sicheren Schattenplatz, was besonders für Kinder extrem wichtig ist. Der Schattenbereich ist riesig und bietet der ganzen Familie, Kühltaschen und Handtüchern locker Platz. Da das Segel an den Seiten offen ist, steht die Luft nicht (wie in einer kochend heißen Strandmuschel), sondern es geht immer ein angenehmer, erfrischender Windzug durch. Qualität und Transport: Das Material ist extrem elastisch, reißfest und die Nähte sind sauber verarbeitet. Der Sand lässt sich beim Abbau ganz einfach abschütteln. Zusammengepackt in der mitgelieferten Tragetasche ist das Set erstaunlich leicht und kompakt – es passt problemlos in jedes Urlaubsgepäck. Fazit: Ein absolut durchdachtes Produkt, das den Strandtag um ein Vielfaches entspannter macht. Wer verlässlichen Sonnenschutz sucht, der nicht beim kleinsten Windhauch kollabiert, ist hier genau richtig. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Es super fácil de montar y más cómodo de llevar.

Second year of use and working very well. Very pleased with our purchase. Last year we took it to Sardinia and it withstood many outings. This year it's been to Majorca and coped well with 20 km winds. As per other reviews, it's worth adjusting the poles and tentacles a few times according to the wind strength and direction. Comfortably fits 3 people, 4 at a push, or one, very precious son as per the photo :-)

This is great once it's set up correctly. The trickiest bit is getting the tension right and the sandbags aligned diagonally. It's definitely a 2+ person job to set up but if you're buying this you've probably got more than 1 person using it. When we first arrived at the beach there was little wind and so it went up quite easily. We went off to enjoy the waves but after a little while the wind picked up and it blew over. Took a bit to get it back up in stronger wind, you really need to pack a lot of sand in the sandbags (we originally only had them about two thirds full) and we made use of the little elastic pull tie things around the top of the poles (we didn't use them initially). After the adjustments it withstood the rest of the day perfectly even in quite windy conditions which blew down several other cabanas/shade tents. I absolutely love the shady space it created for our family of 5.
