Reviewed by Daz T - 6th Jan, 2019 LC shelter I bought this shelter to use for sea fishing from the beach. A selling point for me was that it had a built in ground sheet. First time I used it was on the beach and I soon descoverwd that there is no such ground sheet. Other than that it’s a fairly good shelter for the money and goes up quickly and just as quick to come down once you have the back of it.
Reviewed by Stowmartian - 16th Aug, 2018 Excellent value for money Lovely piece of equipment. Goes up in no time at all Not quite so easy to take down until you have the knack and have done a few times. For any who has purchased this and is struggling its as simple as this. Right a the top there is a small hydraulic cylinder which extends once the shelter is put up, this forces the pairs of protruding arms away from each other and creates tension on the arms. To dimantle simply squeeze near to the cylinder to collapse it by compressing the arms toward each other. This has to done at the arms as near as you can towards the cylinder otherwise you could inadvertently snap the arms
