Kelty Sunshade Review

Kelty Sunshade
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently saw a couple of these shelters on a camping trip and knew I had to have one.After reading some reviews on the square footprint versions and heard they were difficult to set up,I opted for this because I typically have to accomplish this chore alone.I had this shelter up within five minutes all by myself and I'm a small person. The poles are some of the thickest and most heavy duty bungee type fiber-glass poles I've ever seen and it really pays off once the shelter is standing. It feels super sturdy. The poles account for most of the 10 pounds of total weight, but it's not to heavy to carry a good distance.One feature that I thought showed great fore-thought was that there were two sets of eyelets in the bottom strap that the pole feet hook into.This would assure a snug fit over the years as the fabric stetches,otherwise you'd wish you had some way to take up the slack.I haven't used the shelter in a high wind situation yet, but judging by the sturdiness afforded by the triangular shape... I'm sure it would do great as long as you staked it down with the six provided stakes (2 opposing stakes per foot).Plenty of room in the stuff sack elminated what's always my biggest fear, getting it all back in the bag. No problems there. I'd definitely recommend this one to anyone.

Paha Que Cottonwood 10 x 10 Shade Shelter Review

Paha Que Cottonwood 10 x 10 Shade Shelter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this sun shelter for my family's vacation on the Outer Banks of NC.It was over a hundred degrees that week and being outside would have been prohibitive without this shelter.It was a huge success.Although it was easy to put up, we decided to leave it up for the entire week -- including overnight.Even the breezes of the Outer Banks couldn't blow this thing down.Special note: I purchased 17 inch, sturdy anchors to keep it secure.The short, dainty anchors included with the shelter would not have worked in the sand.

Product Description:
An ideal alternative to heavy, clumsy steel frame shelters that cost and weight too much, Paha Que's Cottonwood 10 x 10 Shade Shelter is perfect for campsites, backyard barbeques, picnics, soccer games, tailgating, and hanging out at the beach. Very lightweight, the Cottonwood packs down to a compact 8 by 28 inches and comes with an oversized duffel-style carry bag.

Supported with a heavy-duty 6000 series alloy aluminum shock-corded pole set, shock-cording keeps the pole segments together for ease of assembly. Continuous pole sleeves make inserting the poles a breeze while also eliminating the need for roof pole clips or snaps that tend to break, rendering your tent useless.

About Paha Que
Paha Que Wilderness Inc. is a young and innovative company that makes high-quality family camping tents. Campers love them, but when they first see the name in print, they pause and wonder just how to pronounce it and try to understand its meaning. You won't find it in any dictionary and there have been debates amongst linguists about its derivation. According to the legend behind the term, Paha Que is the Southwest Indian version of "Aloha." Paha Que takes it to mean "happy trails." It can mean hello, good-bye, how are you, have a good day, and more. Perhaps a variation on the Spanish phrase Que Pasa? The people at Paha Que learned it from a local rancher friend whose grandpa learned it from local Indians. It boils down to the fact that the name is surely different, and appropriately so because these tents are very different from ordinary tents.

Easy installation. I put it together myself in about 45 minutes. There are literally no tools required. It looks good in the driveway. I have a full size SUV and there's plenty of room on both sides and front to back -although no room for another vehicle.I purchased the anchors for extra support as I live in South Florida. I will update this review after some wear and tear.

ABO Gear Tripod Shelter Review

ABO Gear Tripod Shelter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To anyone who complained about how difficult it is to set up, Eagle Scout or not, I can only say that you're not doing it the right way. Or you're too weak to do it. Either way, if it's done right, it's no harder than tying boots snugly.

Hint: when you're ready to bow the 1st pole, set the ferruled end on the ground, vertically between your feet while you're standing up and making sure no dirt can fill it (I set it on a sandal instead of right on the dirt). Pull the fabric down systematically, until the ring passes the ferruled end. Grab the fabric and the pole about 2-3 inches from the end with one hand like you're choking it, making sure the fabric does not slide out again. Lift the pole off the ground so you can see what you're doing. With the other hand, slide the pin into the pole. It's that easy. Repeat the process for the 2nd and 3rd poles.

It took me less than 20 minutes from start to finish, all by myself. The key is to plant the ferruled end of the pole securely on the ground while you work the fabric with both of your free hands.

It's the best shade I've ever bought. The other shade that I own, a 10'x10' type, weighs 50 lbs and is quite large in a package, compared to this 11-lbs shade that fits in a small nylon sack. The 2008 model comes with heavy-duty poles which is an improvement to the smaller diameter poles of the earlier model. There is no way these poles will split, unlike the earlier version, as reported by some.

    Choose outdoor areas shaded from direct sun and open sky
    Wear well-designed clothing that covers the body, arms, and legs

    Wear well-designed sunglasses
    Use at least SPF15 sunscreen
    Cover up young children

About ABO Gear
ABO (Australian Beach Outdoor) began in 1995, with the humble goal of finding a solution to the common beach towel. The company called its first product the ABO mat--an oversized cotton mat with four stakes to prevent it from blowing away in the wind which folded into a convenient fanny pack. This initial product launch led to other popular items, such as beach tents, picnic blankets, beach hammocks, and more. In developing new products, the company's first aim is always to create gear that minimizes ABO's carbon footprint. ABO gear remains a fast-growing company with products in the beach, outdoor, pet, gift, and travel goods market.

Texsport Wyoming Arbor Sunshade Review

Texsport Wyoming Arbor Sunshade
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the product with the intent (no pun intended) to use it as a shade shelter for camping and the beach.Set up is somewhat complicted due to the use of a sleeve system instead of a corded hook system used in similar tents/shelters.It was apparent early on that the glue holding the ferrules on to the ends of the fiberglass rods was not up to snuff as about a third of them pulled off and this got worse the ssecond time i set it up.I set it up in the back yard first and then a second time on the beach.Unfortuantely the top is not vented in any way so even a minimal wind load results in unacceptable deformation of the entire top/fiberglass rod assembly.This resulted in the need to return.I would recommend it only for minimal to zero wind conditions and even at that one would need to secure all the ferrules with glue or duct tape.
