This sun shade is terrible for a few reasons1) It is a nightmare to setup. The fiberglass sections insert into metal tubes to make one long pole. The metal sections are just big enough so the fabric sleeves always snag on each section in multiple places up the sleeve as you try to slide the pole in. Imagine 5 or 6 of these each snagging 5-6 times up the sleeve.. This means you cant simply slide the pole in, you have to do it section by section and each metal piece will catch on the fabric.2) If you setup in any kind of wind the first problem becomes exponentially worse and the tent requires two people. The fabric constantly catches air. You can guy the corners down temporarily as you setup which can help a big.3) the order of the poles matters. The three poles crossover at the top of the shade. You should do the bottom pole, then the middle, then the top. If you dont you will scream as the poles constantly get stuck on fabric and each other as you try to slide the poles in.4) In wind, the fiberglass of the poles will splinter. All my poles are broken after a 15 mph day at the beach. The whole thing is ruined after just 4 uses.5) In wind, even if you guy out the lines, the whole thing is not very stable (or takes a really long time to get things tensioned right).6) approximate setup time even after 4 times is 45 minutes or so. The first time was over an hour in 25mph winds in the baking sun on the beach- not fun.7) as you try to slide the poles out the metal sections will catch again.do not buy this for the beach or anyplace that is windy.

In winds make sure to use guy point at 45degrees from each other and it will be sturdy if you go in a staight line from the poles they wont. Works well over a picknick table wich i bought it for.

Bought it for camping in the BWCA to keep rain off of our gear. Easy enough to set up but it is nice to have 2 people. Seems to be well built just like other Kelty tents. My wife has me set it up in the front yard when the grandkids visit and they love sitting under it protected from the sun.
