Guardian UV Beach Shelter

Excellent Product

This is the one to get

Lightweight. Fast to put up. Good size. Could reflect more heat on hot days. Great quality.

Love it

Fast and easy to use, roomy enough to suit our family of 5, carry bag slings of the shoulder nicely so you have free hands.

Can't handle a breeze

Slight breeze (like you often get at the beach) and this thing is bending. Doesn't blow away but collapses in on you. I have had it around 2 years and keep persisting but wouldn't recommend one. The snowys team recommend ropes but I don't go to the beach that prepared.

Great IF there's not a breath of wind!

We purchased our beach shelter a year ago now. Love the lime green colour. Easy to put up and pack away, light, and the carry bag is big enough to make packing away stress-free. Good size for keeping a family cool, love the optional zip openings too for ventilation. BUT...... If there is even the slightest breath of wind, this beach shelter does not stand well. Due to the crappy plastic joints on the frame, there is no anchorage to keep the frame in that position, so the shelter bends in whatever direction the wind is blowing. It's flimsy and after a year having it, one of the plastic joints has finally snapped. The Velcro fastenings that go over the joints offer no support. So in short, great beach shelter if there's no wind, otherwise give it a miss!!!!

G'day Hannah,

I had the same issue... good news though, you can prevent the arms from buckling with a guy rope (and sand peg) on the corner(s) which are facing the wind. You'll be able to see a review that I posted a few years ago (on this page) with a photo.

I hope this helps and that you start to enjoy this beach shade as much as I do!
