If you’re spending time outside in places where you need some shade, the Sun Ninja canopies are a great option. They’re multi-person tents with built-in installation support like sand anchor bags. They take five minutes to set up, and come in various styles, one of which offers 50+ SPF protection.
We’re going low-tech today, but definitely not low-quality. If you’re headed to the beach this summer, or a local park, or you just need some shade in your backyard, Sun Ninja has you covered. Its tents and canopies span several sizes, with enough space to accommodate anywhere from two people up to eight total. You can also choose from unique designs like an all-terrain setup or one that’s portable and travel-friendly. The UPF-50 sun protection tent is going to be my main focus here, though. It’s a cabana style cover that comes in a carrying bag, and includes a sand shovel, ground pegs, poles, and anchor bags. The premiere size covers a 10 feet by 10 feet area.
It’s perfect for the beach, but you probably gathered that already. You pitch it using the included poles, but also fill the anchor bags with sand. That keeps it from taking flight even on a windy day. It takes about five minutes tops to set up, and this particular model is lightweight and travel-friendly. You can toss everything into the carrying bag and it fits nicely in a trunk. The material itself is made of durable elastic spandex with triple overlock stitching to prevent seam tears.
Why spring for Sun Ninja outdoor canopies?
If you’re spending any amount of time outdoors this summer, you want to go out prepared. The Sun Ninja offerings are outdoor tents, plain and simple, but what makes them an ideal choice is the overall design. They’re easy to set up, durable, and come in a variety of flavors. There’s even a Corona-themed tent with the infamous branding.
As a Florida native, I can attest to the need for a well-designed tent when you hit the sand. Not just any old canopy will do. In fact, anything you buy online is more likely to blow away or topple over than give you sun protection. The clever design of the corner anchor bags holds these bad boys in place. They also look kind of like giant man bits hanging down when they’re full, but I digress.
The best part is that Sun Ninja tents are not very expensive.
Who is it for?
Beach-goers, park visitors, explorers, and anyone spending time outdoors. Probably need some adults available to set it up.
