To anyone who complained about how difficult it is to set up, Eagle Scout or not, I can only say that you're not doing it the right way. Or you're too weak to do it. Either way, if it's done right, it's no harder than tying boots snugly.Hint: when you're ready to bow the 1st pole, set the ferruled end on the ground, vertically between your feet while you're standing up and making sure no dirt can fill it (I set it on a sandal instead of right on the dirt). Pull the fabric down systematically, until the ring passes the ferruled end. Grab the fabric and the pole about 2-3 inches from the end with one hand like you're choking it, making sure the fabric does not slide out again. Lift the pole off the ground so you can see what you're doing. With the other hand, slide the pin into the pole. It's that easy. Repeat the process for the 2nd and 3rd poles.It took me less than 20 minutes from start to finish, all by myself. The key is to plant the ferruled end of the pole securely on the ground while you work the fabric with both of your free hands.It's the best shade I've ever bought. The other shade that I own, a 10'x10' type, weighs 50 lbs and is quite large in a package, compared to this 11-lbs shade that fits in a small nylon sack. The 2008 model comes with heavy-duty poles which is an improvement to the smaller diameter poles of the earlier model. There is no way these poles will split, unlike the earlier version, as reported by some.

Three years ago I bought two of these tripod canopies when I found them on sale. We have used them during our two-week beach trips for those three years. They aren't as simple as those basic rectangular shelters we see up and down the beach, but ours seem to be more durable... and they certainly catch the eye! They look a bit like weird alien spaceships, but that's part of their charm.The issue of durability is second only to the sun protection for me. (The 50 SPF was a huge selling point.) Every year we set up a canopy (or two) on the beach the day we arrive and leave it up for two weeks. The shock-corded poles allow these things to really bounce around in the wind; many times I've seen them blown almost to the point of laying down on the sand, but until this summer they always popped right back up when the wind died. Sadly we lost one this past week in a couple of days of fierce and constant winds. It didn't come down, but the poles split and the sharp edges tore through the fabric. We took down the second canopy to keep it intact (first time in three years of typical beach thunderstorms!)I did put up this crazy shelter by myself once, but it really requires two people to handle it, especially in a breeze. The instructions are simple and can be kept in a clear pocket on the carry bag.I would recommend using a little WD-40 on the silver/metal parts to keep them from rusting if you're using it near the ocean.I definitely got my money's worth out of the Tripod, and we have enjoyed using it. I might look for something a bit smaller that I can put up myself, but I doubt we'll find anything as durable as these have been.

Just went on vacation to the beach with the ABO Gear Tripod Shelter.1. Setup is a pain, especially in the wind - ABO Gear 'Kite.' Third shock-corded pole is very difficult to put in because of the tension of the other two poles. Takes someone with some strength to coerce it into place.2. Once it's up and secured with the sand weighted pockets it does provide some nice shade. On a few days, the wind was more intense so we had to use the ropes/stakes provided.3. Tear down was more of a pain than setup. As you pull the shock-corded poles out of the shelter they come apart and get stuck in the seamless sleeves. Very frustrating in the hot sun.4. Very lightweight and small package for lugging around.All in all, it looks really cool when it is up. We also had one of the pop-up 10x10 $50 tents with our group. Takes about 1-2 minutes to setup and does provide a bit more shade. In high winds you will still need to stake these down. If you can handle the weight of carrying one these to the beach, they were much easier to set up.
