This was a good purchase but when we returned from the beach we noticed that one of the rod tips was missing due to the elastic cord had pulled through. Can't find replacement tips.

easy to put up and take down

I purchased the Rio Portable sun shelter to help me enjoy our trips to the beach more.  My wife is a real "Sun Worshiper" but I can only take so much sun.  The shelter sets up very quickly and easily and provides a nice bit of shade and an area to keep your "stuff" when on the beach.  The shade allows me to escape the sun and also keeps our coolers out of the direct sunlight as well.

The only issue we have experience is that the shelter is not very stable in a steady strong breeze.  I have made some longer "stakes" from some rod stock I bought at a hardware store that makes it a little more stable in the wind.

A great product at a great price and the item was delivered very quickly!

Got it for the dog but we use it too! Liked the overall design but needs different stakes, they are not long enough & pull out in sand.
