Can I use this tent at the beach?

You can use the tent at the beach, but make sure you have tent stakes that will hold it down in the sand. Wind is often a factor near the ocean, and if your tent isn't properly anchored it will likely blow away. I've never camped at the beach, but I'm sure someone makes tent stakes for those conditions.

We used it at the beach and we did use the hold downs because it was very windy. The tent is very sturdy and one of our guys is a little over 6 ft and he didn't have to bend to get under it. We love this tent and everyone who has borrowed it from us really liked it too!

We have only set it up on grass. I think it will be fine on a hard surface. However the tent is light weight and you may need weights to hold the legs down. I think those can be purchased if not included. On the grass you can use stakes.

I would not think that this would work on beach sand (or, for that matter, solid rock) with the supplied stakes (especially since they are round shafts). The reason is that this tent MUST be firmly staked for the roof support to do its job. This is due the design of the this type of tent. It is not meant to be free standing, the same as with most large base camp tents, officer tents, marquis tents, re-enactment tents, etc. Solid ground anchoring is not an option with this tent, but rather a requirement. However, if you have extra long stakes which you could substitute, which are designed for sand, and which would not easily pull out, you may have a chance at having it work on beach sand.

Yes, but one thing to consider is this is NOT a free standing tent. This means the tent must be secured by driving stakes into the ground. On a Sandy beach I can imagine this being a big problem.

Yes if your tent legs are straight. Most tent legs are angled in which case the top one might not screw down. If you use them full of Sand instead of water you should not need two sets

This is a great tent for children, made of nylon material. You could use it outdoors but I wouldn't leave it out unattended. It's very light weight and probably not waterproof.

The wind would be a problem, having camped on a lot of beaches myself. You will need something more than the type of stakes provided to keep it firmly connected to the ground. You could buy really long stakes or weight the corners. It's a great lightweight tent but if the wind blows hard, I would expect to have problems.

I think it would be fine for use on the beach, as long as you take-a-long something to tie it down with (bucket of rocks, concrete blocks, & bungee cords, etc). It really doesn't take much wind to move it or knock it down. Good luck & have fun!

Yes it can but you need to put a tarp over the concrete before setting up the tent to protect the floor of the tent.

I think the tent is only water resistant not water proof... I'd write Clam and ask what they recommend to make it more water proof..

Strong winds will definitely wreck this tent... Would not recommend for the beach on a very windy day.. The frame is just not sturdy enough..The manual itself says to avoid the wind.. With that said, we have one for our back deck and it works perfectly in moderate wind ;)

The tent is pretty sturdy, but not for wet weather. It is easy to take up and set up.

yes, 1 person can do it. However, if you are going to the Myrtle Beach SC area... they passed a law no tent's on the beach between Memorial day and Labor day.... we where setting ours up when we found out...it is a 250.00 fine for each tent.

Sure, but be aware that it is light and will not withstand a lot of constand wind. If using on the beach for a 1 time event I would suggest using the sides and screw in anchors for the tie downs. Hope this helps!

I use it indoors, but I wouldn't object to using it outdoors. Like another user said, bringing it to the beach seems like a great idea!

I've never used it on the beach but my husband and I think it would be fine. It does come with spikes to "tie" the tripod down. Like any umbrella, I guess it all depends on how windy it is out. Sorry if I couldn't be more helpful.
