for a day out in the sun.
Let me show you how to set it up,

- Ben from Snowys here, folks,
at the Brownhill Creek Tourist Park,
on a beautiful, sunny day here in Adelaide.
This is the Malamoo 2-Hub Beach Shelter by Oztent
and I'm gonna show you how to
set it up and pack it away today.
This is how it comes when you buy it.
About 120 centimetres long, by about 15,
10 to 15 centimetres in diameter
depending on how much you squish it up.
And Oztent say it weighs about three kilos
but I weighed it in more around about two and a half.
Inside your bag you get the shelter,
it's an all in one shelter,
so no extra poles or anything.
The little bag of pegs to peg it down,
now these are just steel pegs,
so good for in the park.
If you're gonna use it in the sand,
then you might wanna get a few sand pegs.
Alternatively it does come with these,
they just draw top bags or sandbags,
they're referred to in this case
so you can fill 'em with sand
and secure that to the corners to keep it in place.
Now to set it up, it's nice and easy,
we grab this set of it here secured with a tie,
we undo the tie.
First thing we do is spread it out.
So just arrange my shelter how I want to set up
so we've got the front facing this way,
can tell 'cause of the Malamoo by Oztent logo here
and there's an open space here.
Now being 2-Hub,
there's two hubs that you need to invert
to be able to set it up.
So the hubs are these little bits inside here.
Now we need to push them outwards,
so if we get a hand or a palm up against the hub here,
hold the outside of the frame,
and just push it until it pops into place.
(pop sound)
We do that on both sides.
Those doing that,
it can be good just to kneel on the fabric inside there
so that the tent is kind of pulling against itself
when you're trying to invert that hub.
Now that's the shelter almost set up.
There's six pegs that we can put in place,
one in each corner here,
and we've also got a couple of guy ropes
on the side here which are attached
to the outside of the hub here,
we can peg them in place
and that's gonna keep it nice and secure.
That's the 2-Hub Malamoo shelter all set up,
now I have used pegs obviously to set this up today,
Now you do get these four sandbags and they come with it,
I mean they're just a draw top bag basically,
but if you load them up with sand, do this draw top up here,
then you've got the loop here that you can use to secure
to the corners here if you like or use two sandbags each
on the end of the guy ropes just loop this through,
probably a good idea to loop it through like this first
and then fill it up.
If you really need to secure it to the ground,
dig these sandbags into the sand and bury them,
it's gonna give a nice sturdy sort of a tent
so then you don't have to worry
about using extra sand pegs for it.
Now the shelter itself is nice and sturdy
now that it's all set up.
So that set up really easily, sturdy shelter,
it's gonna stand up in a fair bit of wind on the beach.
So to pack it all away,
now I'll show you how easy that is.
Before we go any further, I just want to talk about
what these handle might be,
now there's no real instructions out there
on what they for.
Now we when we set this up,
we push the hub from the inside,
we could actually use these
to pull the hub out from the outside as well.
So just there as an option I guess,
whatever's easiest for you.
So I'll pack it away.
First thing I do is gonna pull all the pegs out
and then we can push the hubs back the other way.
So I've got all the pegs out,
obviously if it is a windy day at the beach,
don't leave your shelter unattended,
always hold on to it so doesn't blow away.
Now to pack it away from here
it sort of folds in half this way,
but we need to invert these hubs back the other way.
So just gonna stand on the outside
and gently push them in until it clips back the other way.
And do it on the other side here.
There's not a lot of force required here
but just take it easy,
make sure you don't hit your hands or anything as you go.
I'm just finding it's catching on the frame
on the other side here
so I actually need to make sure that's away from this one.
I'm trying to inverse it so you got a bit of space in behind
and now the tents gonna fold down on itself.
From here we just bring all of these poles in together.
Just give it a bit of a shake
if you feel any sort of tension as you're doing this up,
they should come together really easily.
If you feel any tension,
it's because the fabrics caught up so don't force it.
Just do that all the way around.
From there we can lay it flat on the ground.
Fold the fabric in, tie it up, and back in the bag.
That is how you set up and pack away,
the Malamoo 2-Hub Beach Shelter by Oztent,
that was really easy.
This is a really lightweight, really portable
and really sturdy beach shelter
for a day out in the sun.
