Cool and easy to set up
"This is a smaller variation on the traditional and ubiquitous 'EZ' style tent and it can be very handy to have. If you aren't familiar, the frame opens like a pantograph. You can do it yourself but two people makes it a snap. Canvas is included to create a little changing cabana--perfect for slipping into a bathing suit or out of wet clothes without having all of the logistical issues that appearing naked in public can cause. The tent itself is about 20 pounds and comes in a very nicely arranged carrying case which can be placed on your back and taken to the beach, stored in your attic or set up wherever you may need a bit of privacy. Setting this up properly involves opening the frame, placing the canvas and, very important, staking and bagging this to the ground to keep the wind from blowing it over. All of the accessories are included --even weight bags which can be filled with sand. It should take less than 15 minutes the first time you do this but even less in future excursions. The trick with all of these tents is putting it back and folding the canvas as neatly and compactly as it was when you arrived. All I can say is Good Luck. The frame is sturdy but not ridiculously heavy. Orange plastic latches are simple to operate and avoid some of the finger catching menace that pop up locking buttons and sliding metal collars can create. It feels a little safer to set this up than with other tents I have. Quality is good all around and instructions are sewn into the carrying case if you lend this to someone so you don't need to show them how to set it up. Really like it."
