Review: Great design + easy to use + stable in wind = I’d get one - This review is for the 5’ x 5’ “two-person” size tent, primarily used with two poles (only). Random notes in no particular order: - First saw one of these earlier this summer, and thought ‘that’s the coolest-looking tent ever’. Looks like a big ol' waterbug on the beach. Which BTW, it does sprawl out there – that 5’ x 5’ tent is more like 15’ x 15’ once it’s stretched out, so be aware. I will say that though the legs do stretch out, they are anchored by sand bags, so there are no stakes/spikes etc. for you (or anyone else) to worry about. - I purchased the 5’ x 5’ version as I usually go on my own to the beach to read. The 5’ x 5’ size is perfect for one person, which leads to an important note: Size/people references supplied are more like ‘maximum capacity’. I’d halve the occupancy ratings for ideal fit: 5’ x 5’ for one person 7’ x 7’ for two 10’ x 10’ for four - Especially if you only use two poles, which I think works best. Definitely affects fit, but using two poles vs. four provides more shade, and more shade options over the course of the day. - I also find that less poles means more stability in the wind. If you follow the directions (face the front of the tent directly into the wind, pack the sand bags to the max and bury the bags, and stretch each tent leg/bag out as much as possible before raising the poles), the tent is surprisingly stable in the wind with two poles. I used the tent this afternoon in sustained winds of 15-25 MPH – absolutely no umbrellas at the beach today – but dang! the Sun Ninja really held its own in the wind. - Then when I began to take down the tent, I accidentally came upon a sort of ‘alternate’ setup that was incredibly stable in the wind. I removed one pole, which temporarily made the tent a one-poler, but that one pole was pretty well aligned into the wind, and the tent STILL remained stable in the wind! So I thought ’what if I took that second pole and teamed it up with the first one in a /\ setup?’ If you look at the video, the tent fabric sure is blowing, but with the new setup the support is really, really stable. How cool is that! (Speaking of cool, I forgot that I was playing music on my phone while doing the video, so there you go. Thanks to Grant Green and Larry Young for the soundtrack :) - In conclusion, I’ll agree with most folks that my little 5 x 5 tent is super easy to carry-with, setup, and take down. Less than 10 minutes to setup (solo) and five minutes to pack up. Needless to say, I’m very happy with my purchase. It’s a brilliant design: functional, efficient, and stable, and as I said: it’s the coolest-looking tent on the beach! Oh, one last thing: like a previous reviewer recommended: get a larger, more durable scoop than the one provided. Video: Alternate two-pole /\ setup, approx. 20 mph wind. My goofy idea to orient the tent diagonally, with two poles used together at one end. Not sure if you’re supposed to do that, but it worked well for me in the wind.
Review: Easy to set up, great shade, does well in the wind! - 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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: We just returned from the beach. we would like to wash this. is it machine washable? if so, please share instructions. thank you!**
A: I don't know about machine washing but I stretched mine out in the yard and rinsed it off with the water hose. But I don't see how it would hurt it . Use the gentle cycle. If you do  use the washer , put the results in your review so others will know .

**Q: Can you turn the 7 x 7 into a four pole by ordering extra poles?**
A: Is it not already a 4 pole? It shows that it has 4 poles included… ??

**Q: Is there a way to order more poles?**
A: You can go onto Amazon and search Sun Ninja Poles. there are 2 sizes the 5ft5 poles for the 4 person Sun Ninja and the 6ft6 poles for the 8 person Sun Ninja.

**Q: Is this water resistant? Based on the video it is but I don't think it is**
A: The Sun Ninja is Water Resistant NOT water Proof. light rain or a drizzle will run off it. It will not protect you against a heavy down fall.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New Beach Staple
*by A***1 on October 8, 2025*

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.
