Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're camping in wide-open spaces or you just need a little privacy from your fellow beachgoers, this Texsport privacy shelter is a must. Made of heavy-duty ripstop polyethylene, the shelter is like a campsite dressing room, with enough space to change clothes, dry off, or just catch a moment to yourself. The shelter--which measures 3 by 3 feet and stands 72 inches tall--also includes a clear PVC roof that lets in plenty of light. And thanks to the stakes and guy ropes, it'll stay firmly rooted to the ground at all times. Outfitted with a full-length zippered entrance, the shelter is flame retardant to CPAI-84 specifications and comes in a sky blue color.

 Not as expected June 24, 2009
Robert Rael (San Diego, Ca)
Maybe I was expecting too much, but I would not recommend this item.
1) Does not put up with high wind -- maybe again I was expecting too much.
2) Difficult to setup.
3) No ventilation, clear roof means it gets really hot on the inside
4) Clear roof ripped probably on the first use
5) Pole system is not user friendly.
6) Does not come with a carry bag.
I probably used this item only once or twice. It's difficult to setup by yourself. I camp in the desert a lot, and high winds are always expected. Instead of staking the guy ropes into the ground, I used sandbags to hold it up. Since then, it has fallen over and the poles have bent. I recommend the shelters with the fiberglass (flexible) poles, as they flex in the wind, but do not break. Several friends have the flexible shelters, and I have never seen them broken due to the wind.
There has to be a better option June 23, 2009
Brown (Denver, CO United States)
Two of the poles were defective out of the box. Fortunately I had a wrench to make them round enough to fit the connecting poles into them. Count on having at least 2 people to put this together or maybe using duct tape to keep the pole joints together as you go. It is way more difficult to put together than it should be. I used it on one camping trip, then threw the frame away. I'm hoping to come up with a better frame and salvage the tarp.
Big Disappointment! September 21, 2008

This shelter is difficult to put up and too weak too hold up a solar shower bag. There is no ventilation at the top. True, the tarp is sturdy, but it's meaningless when the frame is so weak and relies on guy ropes with weak little stakes. Also, it doesn't even come with a bag to hold it. Once you open the box, it becomes a big hassle to transport. The only reason that I gave it a star is because it was inexpensive so at least I won't mind using it for parts. As it usually turns out with outdoor supplies, you get what you pay for.
 Good tarp, weak frame August 15, 2007

This product is good for the money but be careful when using it in a windy area because the frame is very flimsy. It uses thin pipes and cringe type of connections which do not hold the pipes in place while you are putting it together. That's just an inconvenience though.
The tarp on the other hand is very well constructed.
Also keep in mind that this structure does not stand on its own, it relies on guy lines.
