Hey everyone today we're gonna be reviewing the Easthills Outdoors instant shader enhanced pop-up beach tent so check it out
Hey everyone, it is Ken from Northern Viking Explorer
And today we are going to be reviewing this Easthills Outdoors instant shader
Enhanced pop-up beach tent that they have so kindly provided for me. The color on this one is pacific blue
So once you've watched this video if you're looking for more detailed specifications
Or to pick one of these up. I've got an Amazon affiliate link down in the description for you
So let's get right into it and head on down to the beach and set this tent up and I'll show you all the features
Alright, so we made it down to the beach
And first off you can see that the pop-up tent comes in this convenient carrying case
With a shoulder strap the whole thing weighs about 8
Pounds and it's a fair bit lighter than it looks so it's really easy to carry pack around and put into your trunk
So let's go ahead and show you how easy it is to set up this tent first
Go ahead and unpack it out of the storage case
and
There's actually a strap that holds the whole tent together. Just pop that off
Now Easthills Outdoors has conveniently put the instructions inside the carrying case. So you're never gonna lose them
It's really helpful. So unwrap the tent fabric from around the main mechanism and lay that flat on the ground
What you're gonna do is pull apart these two orange rope handles all the way out
And the tent is gonna pop up. Let me show you from another angle
Also, make sure you stand behind the tent while you do this
Next pop the tent rods into place. So they're in the secure position. This will fill out the tent
Then snap the connection clasps onto the rods
This whole process was really easy to do and only took a couple of minutes
Tie the orange ropes at the top into a bow to keep the tents secure
There are also several stakes included that you can use to secure the corners of the tent
On really windy days, there are some tie-down straps that you can use
You can connect them to these orange tabs on the corners of the tent and it'll keep the tent right in place
But this is a really cool feature
They put these spots where you can fill them full of sand and this will help hold the tent down
There's velcro on the side. So they're really easy to empty and fill out
So now that we've got it all set up let's go ahead and have a look inside
We're also gonna put some beach chairs in there so you can see how large it is and how much Headroom you get
On the inside you're gonna find several of these pockets around the perimeter as well as three large meshed windows
That'll help with great air flow
They also have covers on them that can fold down so you can make it private in there
Easthills Outdoors says it has a UPF 50 plus rating
They've used a double silver coating that blocks ninety seven and a half percent of UVA and UVB
Rays and the window covers easily latch into these loops to hold them secured
Up near the ceiling you're gonna find another large pocket to hold all your Beach Goods in
As well as these four pockets around the perimeter great for your keys
Your cell phone Sun screen up at the ceiling
There is also a hook. If it's getting dark out you could hang a flashlight up there
and
This is an amazing part of this tent it is really cool. First off close the windows on the inside of the tent
I wish we had this feature in a tent when our kids were little it would have been super convenient
close all the windows in the tent and
You can actually zip up the front porch to make a private room for changing in down at the beach
How convenient is that? Maybe even have a snooze in there.
For the size of the beach tent you can see my wife here. She's 5 foot 11
The whole width of the tent is 99 inches
It's 53 inches deep and the center height is 57 inches and the height at the porch is
53 inches
As you can see there's plenty of headroom when you're sitting in your beach chairs. This is a lower beach chair
So there's tons around there even with the higher beach chairs. There's still a fair amount of headroom
The front porch is also great because it gives you a nice clean space to hang out and enjoy the beach
Taking a look at the materials
They've used the tarp here at the bottom is going to keep you nice and dry if the grounds wet
The fabrics and window mesh look to be high-quality and double stitched from what I can see
It looks like this tent can be enjoyed for many summers at the beach
So let's go ahead and take down the tent first off empty the sand holders on the side
Which is really easy to do with the velcro
pull out all the stakes around the perimeter and unclasp the poles and
Then go to the top of the tent and you're gonna want to push down on the orange rods
Which will collapse the tent take the remainder of the poles and fold them in and the fabric and wrap it around the main mechanism
The tent comes down quite easily
However, the first time it might take a little bit longer to figure out how to fold it up
So what do I like about this East Hills outdoor pop-up beach tent, well first off. I love that
It has a private changing room. This would have come in
So handy when our kids were little
Always taking them over to the restroom to change them into their swimsuits. To be able to do it right there and have privacy
Right on the beach would have been amazing
Secondly, this tent is really easy to put up and take down
You just pull on those two orange ropes and you're practically there also, it only weighs 8 pounds
So it's really easy to carry around throw in the trunk of your car and take out to the beach
The other thing that I really like about these tents is the color. This is the pacific blue
There's also the sky blue and they're light in color
So they're not going to heat up too much as well that you can open up those windows and let it cross breeze
Right through the tent. Easthills Outdoors seems to have used high-quality materials in this tent
So hopefully it'll last for many summers to come. Also. I did want to mention that taking it down
There is a little bit of a learning curve and putting it in the bag
So maybe try it out once before you head out so you get a hang of it
Once you do, it's pretty easy to put away
So if you're looking for a pop-up tent to protect your family from the Sun of the beach or the park this summer
I think Easthills Outdoors did a really good job on this one
