      Comments about Kelty Cabana - Large:

      A must at any beach where to much sun exposure can be a problem. Its roomy enough for two adults and 3 small children plus some food and gear. Sets up easy. Because of the low profile, you will want to buy fold up chairs that have no legs. The cabana holds up fine even in medium winds. Will make your beach experience a whole lot better. Looks really nice.

      Great sun protection at the beach

      Comments about Kelty Cabana - Large:

      The Cabana is a great shelter for going to the beach or using in the backyard. We used it to protect our dog and gear from the hot sun at the beach and it worked rather well. In the backyard it's great to use to protect the dog from the sun while we work in the garden. Be aware that the fabric sleeves for the poles can be torn rather easily.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Beach and Light Camping

      By HarleyErik

      from Madison, WI

      Pros

      • Durable
      • Easy to assemble
      • Good Value
      • High Quality
      • Light Weight

      Cons

      • No zipper to seal the top

      Best Uses

      • Overnight Camping
      • Week at the beach

      Comments about Kelty Cabana - Large:

      My family of five kids used this tent everyday when in northern Michigan. We would set it up and tear it down each day at the beach. The younger kids really liked it as it provided shade and good ventilation during the sunny days. Very easy to put together (5 minutes) once you do it the first time. The wide vents are a must. Don't get one without the vents if you are using it as a beach shelter. The pouches on all four corners are useful. We filled them with sand and it kept the tent in place despite some good winds. When my oldest son went on an overnight trip with his school I packed this one on my Harley because it was lightweight. The two zippers (one on each side of the "doorway") meet at the top seam, leaving a 18" gap where the overflap hangs but there is no zipper that runs across. That allows a few bugs to join in on the fun. Even at 6'4" I fit in it when lying down. (My son stayed in a cabin). It dipped down to the low 40's at night so there was condensation in the morning. But that was a small price to pay for an easy to assemble, light weight tent. I would not use it if you anticipated rain, snow or any other precipitation.

      Too hot for the beach but very sturdy

      Comments about Kelty Cabana - Large:

      We used the shelter on a recent trip to the Gulf. Unless the breeze was constant the shelter was very hot even with the screen windows and front totally open. This was probably not the best purchase for a hot beach week when we mostly wanted to have shade, great ventilation, and open views of the ocean. On the pro side, the shelter sets up easy and for a day of average wind the sandbags connected to the tent work fine. We staked it down fora night thunderstorm and though the tent blew about 4 hotels down the beach, we found it intact and with minimal damage. In fact we used it for one more day until the heat did us in! If you're going to a hot beach, you're better off with an open shelter.

      Comments about Kelty Cabana - Large:

      Took this to the beach and had A LOT of room. Great for having some privacy with our infant or changing out of a wetsuit for the days of doing open water swims. In the intense sun, the Cabana does get a bit warm but the two windows allow for some cross ventilation. BEWARE the Medium tent does not have the windows and will get MUCH hotter, that is why I opted for this larger size. This is a great beach accessory!

        I bought this because I was going to be at the beach all day from 9am-10pm (bbq to bonfire). I wasn't sure if I was going to use it, but the dog was getting hot so I set it up. The moment it was up, he walked in and took a nap. With a breeze it works great and is very roomy and protected all our stuff. It was nice at night as a block against the wind. The ventilation was great with the light breeze.
