Sport-Brella Premiere XL UPF 50+ Umbrella Shelter for Sun and Rain Protection

Great purchase. Works as a regular umbrella or as a wind block on it's side. Easy to set up, easy to take down, the special stakes to hold the corners in the ground are genius too with large heads for the sand. I am able to go to the beach on a medium warm day with a lot of wind, set this up, and enjoy the sun without feeling but a gentle breeze. My only criticism is on a super windy day, the umbrella inside parts did bend a little bit. I think they sacrificed some sturdiness to make it as light weight as possible. Bought from the warehouse so extra cheap and an even better value.

I bought this umbrella back in August 2020, and it’s still going strong in July 2025. Just wrapped another beach weekend with it—flawless, as usual.We bring it every single time. It’s been everywhere, used hundreds of times, and it’s held up like a champ. I added one of those umbrella hooks from Amazon that slides on the pole—great for hanging towels and gear.Setup? Stupid simple. Pull it out, twist the base into the sand, pop the top on. Just pay attention to the wind unless you want to reenact Mary Poppins across the shoreline.I switch between upright mode and what I call “tent mode” for windy days. Just tilt it, fill the sand pockets, and boom—rock solid. It shrugs off gusts like it’s no big deal.Yeah, the zipper windows corroded shut years ago—but I never used them anyway. A few threads around the support arms are loosening, but after six years of beach weekends, that’s a badge of honor. Still works perfectly.

I have two different easy ups and a beach shade tent and none of them are as easy to set up as this XL sports-brella. Literally took me less than five minutes to set up and take down by myself!It also held up great in wind and offered plenty of shade

This umbrella broke the first time we used it. It was honestly a hazard, as there were sharp pieces everywhere since the wire holding the tines together at the top snapped. I hope the company offers replacements!Edit: I contacted the company and they sent a replacement.

wish it was slightly bigger or had a flooring but otherwise a perfect beach umbrella/tent. the spikes are useless.. buy stronger spikes.

Broke the second time we used it in on a normal day at the beach. Very large, heavy and gives a lot of shade but the plastic pole just snapped at the joint, blew the very large umbrella onto a person in our party and it could have been serious. Unfortunate.

Honestly, my expectations weren’t high and I’ve been pleasantly surprised how much we’re enjoying this umbrella. The setup and take-down is unmatched, SO FAST. The corkscrew on the pole will go several turns into dirt/grass and provides a great anchor point, add four more quick stakes into the ground and this thing is firmly planted in the ground. At the park when everyone else’s portable shelters were going airborne during a large gust of wind, our umbrella didn’t budge. We always leave the vented windows about 50% unzipped for more wind resistance. This thing is going to work awesome on the beach. On park days we put a blanket inside for our kids to nap and set a camping loveseat in front to enjoy the shade.

I recently purchased an XL Umbrella Shelter to provide some much-needed shade during hot soccer games, and it has been an absolute game-changer. Watching my kids play on sunny afternoons is far more comfortable now, thanks to this expansive canopy of coolness.The shelter's size is its biggest advantage, providing ample shade without blocking the view of other spectators. Setting it up is a breeze – it pops open with ease, and the sturdy base stays put even when the game gets intense and the cheering gets loud. It's also surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to carry from the car to the field.The fabric quality deserves praise; it's thick enough to block out the sun effectively but still breathable, which means sitting under the shelter doesn't feel stuffy or claustrophobic. The UV protection is also a significant plus, as I have peace of mind knowing that we're shielded from harmful rays.Another handy feature is the tilt mechanism that allows me to adjust the umbrella's angle as the sun moves across the sky, ensuring continuous shade without the need to relocate the entire setup. The inclusion of side flaps for extra sun protection is thoughtful and useful during the peak hours of sunshine.However, on particularly windy days, additional anchoring might be necessary to keep it grounded – a small concession for the overall benefits it provides.All in all, this XL Umbrella Shelter has been a fantastic investment for our soccer season. It's durable, user-friendly, and provides a haven from the heat, making those weekend games something to look forward to, regardless of the weather. A solid addition to any sports parent's sideline gear.
