Neso Tents Gigante Beach Tent, 8ft Tall, 11 x 11ft, Biggest Portable Beach Shade, UPF 50+ Sun Protection, Reinforced Corners and Cooler Pocket

Doesn't hold with wind

Easy to setup. Lightweight. Lots of shade. First setup my husband didn't watch any videos and it went up without a hitch. We used the kids sand shovel and I think we'll purchase the collapsible shovel for future trips.Handled some really strong winds. Bought the extra set of poles since it's the Gigante. My husband used them 2 in each front corner bracing at different angles and that was ingenious. Buried the sand bags to give it more stability. Stayed strong! Now the rest of my family wants to order one too.

OMG! I'm actually sitting at Honeymoon beach in FL under the Neso Gigante and it is AMAZING! It took me less than 5 minutes to set up and the amount of shade underneath is awesome. I have a 12x12 mat underneath and all of it is under shade. My little baby is sleeping with the breeze blowing instead of in one of those tents that keeps the heat in. I bought the extra poles and haven't used them yet. Customer service was quick to reply to all my emails and very helpful as well. Thanks Neso. It's going to be a great summer! Get one of those compact shovels that fold and I put about 2 large scoops into the bag and dumped the bag into the hole. Then bury everything.1. Bring a long shovel2. Move the sand bag to the middle of the black rope and tie it off at that point.3. Dig a big hole and put a mound of sand on top.4. Best canopy ever.Update August 1st 2019After tweaking

Awesome tent, the best I ever had. So tired to carry heavy Academy tents on the soft sand, this is great!! Just a fraction of the weight I used to carry, better shadow area, and easy to pull up and down. It came with 2 poles, but I made the trick with another 2 I made from expansible painting poles and 2 tennis balls. I love this tent, also, it is an aye catcher. Thanks Neso, good job.

Did great at HH this weekend. I purchased 2 and set them up in tandem for memorial day weekend at the beach in HH. Setup is fast and easy. Stays put and provides great shade. 10x easier to pack and carry and beats watching everyone chase their umbrellas and canopies accross the beach!One down side for us; a strong gust of wind from the wrong direction ended up snapping one our poles. Absolutely suggest buying extras. 15 bucks for a new pole is still a drop in the bucket for the convenience though. I'll buy two just in case.

We've had beach umbrellas before with both of them blowing away or just crumpling under the windy conditions. This Neso Tent is by far the best ever! We had 30 people for our reunion...of course they all didn't fit under the tent. But there was plenty of room for those of us who wanted out of the sun. Even with the wind it stayed up. We had to really plant those bags of sand deep and pile more sand on top, but it worked famously! AND being the Grandma and the first to rise, I set up that Neso BY MYSELF 4 out of the 5 days we used it! AWESOME!!

1 week at beach and this performed perfect!! In heavy wind as I watched other tents blow down the beach this bad boy stood up. Very easy setup for one or two, time is dependent on how fast you move. Hardest part is filling up sandbags. One sandbag did develop 3 small holes. Will contact customer service and see what happens. All around great tent, highly recommend!!

We thought we were going to LOVE this beach tent after our first set up on the beach. It was so easy to transport to the beach, set up was simple and something my husband was able to manage as a single operator. I created the shade we expected for an 11 ft tent. I had purchased 2 extra set of poles to help with stability and make it more open. BUT THEN, the wind began to pick up in the afternoon, as it usually will at the beach and the tent COLLAPSED!!! And we continued to have the same problem every single day on the beach. It worked like a charm until the wind blew and then, wobbled like leaf in the rain until it COLLAPSED!! Unfortunately, I wish I had stuck with my big heavy duty canopy that I was dreading lugging down to the beach

Wind kills this thing fast! It's only a 10mph wind here in sea isle, NJ and took the gigante po$ down. It's was fine till the wind shifted a bit throwing it down from the side. So now I'm left with no shade everyone else has their tents and umbrellas still up. Guess we'll just look like the fool for the day. Wish I could send it back this might work at a lake with no wind or a campsite with again no wind.

Left long review on the wrong area, the extra poles I bought. Not very happy with this canopy. Cannot use on a windy day and Texas beaches are windy. For some reason I thought I could go without sunscreen sitting under this but you still need to use it. Very disappointed. Probably needed 2 extra poles.

First off the tent only comes with 2 poles. Second, if the wind is more than 10-12 miles per hour, your not going to be able to keep it in place. It is easy to use, forget it if there is any wind at all.

I bought this in hopes of it replacing my heavy pop up canopy. First day of use the Neso will not stay up in windy conditions at the beach. 10 mph winds and it still cannot be set up without falling down. I have even dug holes for the sand bags to anchor but still no luck. I have an expensive overrated canopy that I cannot use. I wish I could return this piece of junk. It will be thrown in the trash before the day is over.

Love Neso! I have purchased all 3 sizes and gave one as a gift. People on the beach in So Florida are always asking where I got this I should be getting commission or opening a beach shop to sell them!

Have been big time of a tent for the beach. Have two young kids and need to have proper coverage. I ordered the Neso and it awesome.Ordered it and it shipped quickly and on time. Have been down to the beach multiple times and it is super easy to use and then pack back up at the end of day. By far the best tent/ coverage I’ve used to protect from the sun. Great product. Highly recommend

It turns out that there is no shortcut- you really do have to haul that 55lb canopy out to the beach. This is a joke canopy that can’t handle wind.
