Moana Beach Shade Blue

Perfect coverage

Some of the reviews for this product appear to be about another product. This product has steel posts, not aluminium and steel pegs, not wooden ones. Our first attempt was in windy weather and you definitely need two people to set up in those conditions. But it’s not difficult to do. The supplied pegs managed fine but I will be buying sand pegs for added peace of mind. The sun coverage is fantastic and the airflow is much better than the little beach shelters we have used previously. One negative is the bag it comes with - it would be better if the opening was along the longer side to make it easier to repackage all items - the small end opening is not practical. Very happy with this product and Snowy’s delivery was very reliable as usual.

First use one of the aluminium poles snapped assembling ours so unable to use at all. Can’t see anyway you could use of assemble this item with any kind of wind so for majority of Australian beach days Rendors itself uselesss which is such a shame as we had been so looking forward to using it this summmer.

G'day Richard,

I'm sorry to hear that your new shelter isn't quite what you were expecting. Whenever it comes to improving tent/shelter wind resistance, I strongly suggest adding a few more guy ropes to really lock it down - along with a few pegs (specific for either sand or soil). 

I hope this helps,

Laine :)

Oldie but a goodie

We have tried lots of different ways to get shade at the beach. This design is an old one but still works so well. Unfortunately this new product is not as strong and sturdy. The poles are aluminum but work ok. However the ropes and pegs are rubbish. I had to buy sturdy guide ropes and sand pegs and now it works well. Does need two people to erect but once up provides ample shade with great ventilation. Very happy

We’ve had and loved many moanas- this one has been a disappointment! The wooden pegs and cotton ties have been replaced with flimsy crap!

Good - blue and white striped cotton is as it always was, with sturdy ‘leather ‘ and brass eyelets.

Bad - the steak frame structure is flimsy and the little end pins that you hook the eyelets onto broke on the first use. It doesn’t stay up in wind because of the slippery nylon strings and plastic hooks. We were furious that it broke on its first outing. That’s just rubbish!!

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that Juliet.

We'd like to help out somehow, if you've got a second please give us a call (1300 914 007). Whether that means a replacement part, more guy ropes, sand pegs... hopefully, there's something we can do.
