Firstly, I love the cool prints that this tent comes in &#8211; it adds a touch of personality to our beach setup. But more importantly, the quality of the fabric is top-notch. The Lycra\/Nylon blend is not only water-resistant but also provides UPF 50+ sun protection which is a must-have for a day out in the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also appreciate the reinforced corners of the fabric, which makes me feel confident that the tent will withstand any harsh weather conditions. The tent is super easy to set up and take down, and the carrying bag with the cooler pocket is a great added bonus for keeping drinks and snacks cool and easily accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of the tent is perfect for my family and friends to comfortably fit and the included support poles are tall enough for even my tallest buddies to walk comfortably under the shade. The anchor bags are sturdy and provide a secure hold on the beach, even on windy days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Neso Grande Beach Tent Review | Windy Day Set Up\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WttQZsrQtmg?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, I highly recommend the Neso Grande beach tent to anyone looking for a high-quality, durable, and stylish beach tent. It offers plenty of shade and protection from the sun, and the fact that it&#8217;s recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective UV protectant makes me feel even better about my purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical Specs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Size: 9 feet x 9 feet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Material: Lycra\/Nylon blend<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sun protection: UPF 50+<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weight: 6.5 lbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support poles: 2 rust-proof aluminum poles (6 ft 11 in)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anchor bags: 4 bags to fill with natural resources like sand or rocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carrying bag size: 19.5 in<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Features: Water-resistant, reinforced corners, cooler pocket in carrying bag<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Large size comfortably fits families and groups of friends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provides UPF 50+ sun protection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water-resistant material withstands wind and sun<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy to set up and take down<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sturdy anchor bags keep the tent secure on the beach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightweight and comes with a carrying bag for easy transport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reinforced corners add to the durability of the tent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cooler pocket in carrying bag is a convenient feature for keeping snacks and drinks cool<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Some customers have reported difficulty with the anchor bags staying secure in windy conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The price point may be higher than other beach tents on the market<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some customers have reported that the tent is not as easy to set up as advertised<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ohana Time\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/405214090?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparisons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Neso Grande vs Sun Ninja<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a technical comparison chart of the Neso Grande and Sun Ninja:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Specification<\/th><th>Neso Grande<\/th><th>Sun Ninja<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Brand<\/td><td>Neso<\/td><td>SUN NINJA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Material<\/td><td>Lycra\/Nylon<\/td><td>Aluminum frame and advanced fabric<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Size<\/td><td>9 ft x 9 ft<\/td><td>10 ft x 10 ft (4 poles)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sun Protection<\/td><td>UPF 50+<\/td><td>UPF 50+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Water Resistance Level<\/td><td>Water resistant<\/td><td>Water resistant<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight<\/td><td>6.5 lbs<\/td><td>Not specified<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Support Poles<\/td><td>2 aluminum poles, 6 ft 11 in each<\/td><td>4 poles<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Anchors<\/td><td>4 anchor bags for filling with natural resources<\/td><td>Sand shovel, ground pegs, stability poles included<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Carrying Bag<\/td><td>19.5 in carrying bag with cooler pocket<\/td><td>Comes with a travel bag<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Assembly Required<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wind Resistance<\/td><td>Can withstand wind<\/td><td>Not specified<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Available Sizes<\/td><td>Only 1 size (9 ft x 9 ft)<\/td><td>4-person, 6-person, or 8-person options<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Price<\/td><td>$134.99<\/td><td>$159.95 (10 ft x 10 ft)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, both the Neso Grande and Sun Ninja offer great sun protection and are water-resistant. The Neso Grande is lighter in weight and comes with a cooler pocket in the carrying bag, while the Sun Ninja offers more size options and includes a sand shovel, ground pegs, and stability poles. It&#8217;s important to note that the Neso Grande does not specify wind resistance, while the Sun Ninja does not specify weight. Ultimately, the choice between these two beach tents may depend on personal preference and specific needs. If you&#8217;re willing to spend $25 more, the Sun Ninja is a better option. You get a tent that is 1 foot larger and you get 4 poles vs 2 with the Neso Grande.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NESO GRANDE vs. SUN NINJA (In-depth Beach Canopy Review)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D7EeD6rs_LM?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Neso Grande vs Sun Ninja Video Comparison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Neso Grande vs Shibumi Shade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a technical comparison chart of the Neso Grande and Shibumi Shade:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Specification<\/th><th>Neso Grande<\/th><th>Shibumi Shade<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Brand<\/td><td>Neso<\/td><td>Shibumi Shade<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Material<\/td><td>Lycra\/Nylon<\/td><td>Hard-Anodized Aluminum<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Size<\/td><td>9 ft x 9 ft<\/td><td>Provides 150 sq ft of shade<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sun Protection<\/td><td>UPF 50+<\/td><td>UPF 50+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Water Resistance Level<\/td><td>Water resistant<\/td><td>Not specified<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight<\/td><td>6.5 lbs<\/td><td>4 lbs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Support Poles<\/td><td>2 aluminum poles, 6 ft 11 in each<\/td><td>Hard-anodized aluminum frame<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Anchors<\/td><td>4 anchor bags for filling with natural resources<\/td><td>Wind-powered, won&#8217;t break or blow away in high wind<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Carrying Bag<\/td><td>19.5 in carrying bag with cooler pocket<\/td><td>Not specified<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Assembly Required<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>1 person can assemble in 3 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wind Resistance<\/td><td>Can withstand wind<\/td><td>Wind-powered, won&#8217;t break or blow away in high wind<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Available Sizes<\/td><td>Only 1 size (9 ft x 9 ft)<\/td><td>Provides 150 sq ft of shade<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Price<\/td><td>$134.99<\/td><td>$290.00<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, both the Neso Grande and <a href=\"https:\/\/shibumishade.com\" rel=\"noopener\">Shibumi Shade<\/a> offer great sun protection, while the Neso Grande is water-resistant and the Shibumi Shade is wind-powered and made from recycled materials. The Neso Grande has a lighter weight and comes with a carrying bag, aluminum poles, and anchor bags, while the Shibumi Shade is designed for easy setup by one person in just three minutes. It&#8217;s important to note that the Neso Grande does not specify wind resistance, while the Shibumi Shade does not specify water resistance or include a carrying bag. Ultimately, I prefer the Shibumi Shade over the Neso Grande. It provides 1.5x the shade and is faster and easier to setup. I will say that with no wind, I would rather have the Neso Grande, but it&#8217;s pretty rare you encounter a beach with no wind!

However, it is not completely waterproof and should not be used as a shelter during heavy rain or storms. The tent is designed to provide shade and protection from the sun, but it is always a good idea to check the weather forecast before setting up the tent to ensure you are prepared for any weather conditions.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gc-accordion-item gcopen\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"gc-accordion-item__title\" style=\"\"><h3 class=\"gc-accordion-item__heading\" itemprop=\"name\" style=\"\">Does the Neso Grande come with 2 or 4 poles?<\/h3><span class=\"iconfortoggle\"><span class=\"gciconbefore\" style=><\/span><span class=\"gciconafter\" style=><\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"gc-accordion-item__content\" style=\"\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div class=\"gc-accordion-item__text\" itemprop=\"text\">The Neso Grande beach tent comes with two rust-proof aluminum poles that measure 6 feet 11 inches each.

However, keep in mind that the tent comes with anchor bags that are specifically designed to be filled with natural resources like sand or rocks to keep the tent secure on the beach. If you are setting up the tent on grass, you may need to find alternative ways to anchor it down, such as using tent stakes or weights designed for grass surfaces. Additionally, be aware that the tent may not be as stable on grass as it would be on sand, and windy conditions could cause the tent to shift or topple over.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gc-accordion-item gcclose\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"gc-accordion-item__title\" style=\"\"><h3 class=\"gc-accordion-item__heading\" itemprop=\"name\" style=\"\">How many people can fit under Neso Grande?<\/h3><span class=\"iconfortoggle\"><span class=\"gciconbefore\" style=><\/span><span class=\"gciconafter\" style=><\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"gc-accordion-item__content\" style=\"\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div class=\"gc-accordion-item__text\" itemprop=\"text\">Sample content<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Additional Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>What is the capacity of the Neso Grande?<\/h3>\n<p>Constructed in a way to meet your group coverage needs, the <b>Neso Grande can comfortably accommodate around four people<\/b>. From my own personal experience, it has proven to be a splendidly ample and efficient canopy for family beach outings or park picnics. What&#8217;s more, the design, aside from providing enough room, also allows for increased ventilation, making your stay under it undeniably pleasant.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Does the Neso offer UV protection?<\/h3>\n<p>One of the significant concerns while enjoying the outdoors is protection from harmful sun rays. The good news is, regardless of the sunny environment you find yourself enjoying, the Neso tents provide <b>exceptional Sun and Rain Protection, blocking up to 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays<\/b>. Based on the UPF rating of over 50, you can happily feel shielded. However, as an expert in outdoor equipment, I can&#8217;t stress enough the importance of still ensuring to wear your sunscreen for complete protection. This feature of the Neso tent significantly amplified the level of security I felt during sun-filled camping trips with my family.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What is the size of the Neso 1?<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h3>Can Neso tents withstand water?<\/h3>\n<p>Sure, whether you intend to use them in the mountains or at the beach, Neso Tents are fashioned to provide you with <b>SPF 50+ protection, resistance to water<\/b>, and altogether lightweight. Manufactured using a blend of enduring nylon lycra, these tents can take on fair amounts of water without getting damaged. Its corner reinforcements add to its durability, making these tents a reliable companion in nature. My own experience corrals flood of cherished memories of the tent braving light rain showers during our family outings.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Neso Grande is a popular beach tent designed for families and groups of friends who want to spend time at the beach while staying safe from the sun&#8217;s harmful<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6460,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[671],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mackrobertson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6442"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mackrobertson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mackrobertson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mackrobertson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mackrobertson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6442"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mackrobertson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6442\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13989,"href":"https:\/\/www.mackrobertson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6442\/revisions\/13989"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mackrobertson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mackrobertson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mackrobertson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mackrobertson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
