Thank you for your reviews. We were in the market for something new after a recent beach trip and your reviews helped immensely. We ended up with the Ninja and going through your link. Appreciate it!
My pleasure! Great to hear that the videos helped you out. Thanks for letting me know!
This review was sooo helpful. Really appreciate you putting each product through real-world testing and setups. The water proof aspect of the Neso really helped me make up my mind, you never know when there will be a brief shower and if I use the tarp as a gear cover it looks like the Sun Ninja and Ziggy Shade will just let the water right through. I'm getting the Grande though, don't need that Gigante size. Thanks for your work!
My pleasure and thanks for letting me know! Glad the video was helpful. Enjoy the Grande!
Great review! I just picked up a Neso Grande this week. Appreciate your setup tips!
Thank you! Have fun with the Neso Grande!
I’m buying one tonight! Thanks for the time you took making this video
Cool! My pleasure!
Another great video thanks again for taking the time to share them. Your videos have helped on my purchases for our beach gear, Chris.
Thanks Chris! It's great to hear from you!
@@BeachGearGuy Hope you and the family are doing well, you know me if not working, out on Kure Beach. Thanks again for the work on making the videos, looking forward to the next one.
Thanks! Hope you and your family are doing well too... I'm going to be setting up the Shibumi Shade for the first time tomorrow...should be interesting.
Loving your channel!! Your videos are saving my ass planning a DIY beach wedding…👏🏻😂
Thanks, Catherine! That's cool! Beach Weddings are the best!
Thank you for this awesome review!
My pleasure!
Great video! I should have watch this before I went to the beach.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for taking the time to record this very helpful video. Your channels great. We have a neso, at times the wind does shakes it until it's blowing into our faces. Can't seem to keep it stable when it's windy here in S Florida. We will try and purchase 2 additional poles. Having 2 doesn't seem to cut it for us. Thanks again 🎊 🏝️
Thanks, Staci! Good luck with the two extra Neso poles. This video may be able to help you with a windy day set up: ua-cam.com/video/D7EeD6rs_LM/v-deo.html
Another great review, you're spot on with these videos happy I'm subbed to you :)
Thanks for the sub...and thanks again for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoy the videos.
Just used my sun ninja for a week at the beach. Loved it. Got questions and compliments on it all week!
Cool!
Wow nice !
Thanks for the review!
My pleasure!
Awesome video and great job!!’
Thanks, Dave!
Great videoI like the NESO gigante and I noticed you were were wearing the bracelet that I made for you
Yes I was! I love it!
Great video, man!
Thanks! Glad you liked it Jason!
Would be great to have a video talking about favorite beach sun shelters in different categories! 👏👏👏
Great idea!
This would be great! Or even have a ranked list of your top 5!
keep up the good work
Thanks!
Another great review! We just used our Gigante this past weekend down in South Fla. I definitely recommend burying those sand bags! only takes a few minutes and makes a huge difference. Also suggest if you buy this tent, invest in 2 more poles! They only ship with the two. BTW.... Do you have any cart suggestions for beach access paths that have stairs?
Thanks!!! Isn't the Neso Gigante HUGE?!?!? Lots of shade! I think a beach cart with two big rear wheels such as the Rio Wonder Wheeler would be the best for stairs. It may be a struggle though if it's loaded up to the max.
This is sooo informative, thank you so much? Is there any way to set this up on other types of ground that's not sand? Like a back yard?
Thanks Ran An! I appreciate it!
Sure! I've set up both the Neso Grande and Gigante in the backyard using large orange anchor screws. You could also use rocks or anything heavy enough to keep the anchor bags in place.
Impressive
Really enjoy your videos.. BTW what's that beach shoes you have on? they look comfy for the sand my hubby have been looking for something like that.
Thanks! The shoes are comfy. They're called Mishansha Water Shoes. Here's my affiliate link which will take you right to the Amazon page: amzn.to/2ZmnaZX
Thanks for your hard work. Please review the easierhike sometime, I am going to get either a neso or easierhike 10 foot. I can't find much information about easierhike.
I'll add it to my list. Thanks for the suggestion!
I have one and we just use it at the beach. It rain at the beach and the rain soak through which got us wet.
You gotta try a Suniela next! :) Stays up in crazy winds and fits in a carry on suitcase, plus it doesn't need tie lines to trip people around you
Thanks! I emailed you guys earlier this year, but I never heard back.
Unfortunately your very expensive compared to the likes of a neso shade, you have a very simple and clean design and the lack of guide lines is a plus but waaay to expensive for what it is.
@@ARCEYE78 There's nothing like a Suniela - we use high quality materials that last for many years of beach use. Our original prototypes have been in use for twenty years 🤗 It costs a little extra to offer large mesh pockets and a canopy that slides to either side for high or low sun, but our happy customers see the value. We also produce ethically, working with artisan makers and using hand dyed cotton canopies instead of cheap nylon. But our biggest selling feature: nothing stands up to the wind like a Suniela 💪We could make it for a little less, but we refuse to make something that will end up in the trash after one summer.
@@BeachGearGuy we didn't get your email, feel free to try again any time 🤗
Nice work also I'm sued and I liked the vid
Thanks Cousin!
Hi you, this will help me in Sardinia on Wind beaches. Mauro
Fantastic! Happy to know the video helped you out! They shot my favorite James Bond movie in Sardinia!
Dig a hole in front of the bags and lay the bags in tha hole, that should help keep them in place.
I did that in this video: ua-cam.com/video/D7EeD6rs_LM/v-deo.htmlsi=E3rva-WYFZjYaHH6
Would you review the osoeri large beach tent
Love the review! I'm needing a large sun shelter for OBX in July for 10-15 people. I think the Gigante is a good option. I'm curious though, what is the overall footprint of the Gigante? I don't recall seeing that in the video.
Thanks! Wow, 10 to 15 people! That's a big crew! This week, I'm working on a Neso Grande & Gigante vs. Shibumi Shade Review video. The overall Gigante footprint is about 25 feet by 25 feet.
Which one did you end up with? Do you like it?
Hey Beach guy. Love the reviews. How can I get you to review my new Tabu tent series.
Thanks Jeffrey! You can send me over your info at beachgearguy@cheerful.com. Please keep in mind that I only review beach products.
We’ve had our Neso tent for over a year and use it regularly at various Southern CA beaches. We absolutely love it. Can you tell me the name of the stakes you used with it in the back yard during your water test?
Glad to hear you're enjoying your Neso! I used my Orange Screws: The Ultimate Ground Anchor. Here's my Amazon affiliate link: amzn.to/3jsytXR
Thanks!
I think this is the beach tentI Need.
Thank you for all thi information and comparison
Cool! Please let me know how it works out if you decide to buy it.
@@BeachGearGuy i will.
I am finally buying either the Giganto or the Grande this week.
I need advice.
My primary use will be for camping down the beach in my SUV ( Padre island National Sea Shore allows 4x4 driving and camping).
I will be alone on most trips and down the beach for isolation.
The sun gets to be too much. I will need it to cover a chair, side table and Wekapo lounger ( at your suggestion).
Will i be happer with a Grande or Giganto?
Any suggestions will be appreciated!
I think you will be happier under the Neso Grande. It's 9' x 9', so that should be big enough for your chair, side table, and Wekapo lounger. (Please let me know what you think of the Wekapo once you use it!) Also, I know it gets windy around the Padre Island National Seashore, and the Grande does a better job holding up against the wind.
@@BeachGearGuy Thank you for your advice.
I had not thought of the fact that a larger surface would be a larger sail and more difficult in the wind. It almost always has a breeze of 10 to 20 miles an hour, so between you saying the Grade should be plenty big and telling me that the Gigante will blow in the wind more, I am sold. I will be buying from REI so I can return it at any time for a year.
Last Neso question.
I will be buying extra poles. Do you think buying the Giganto poles would make sense for higher head height (I am almost as tall as you at 6'4") or will the grande be fine?
I will let you know about the Wekapo both when I test it in the backyard and (more importantly) when I use it on the beach. I am curious to see how many times I will need to refill the air on a 5-day camping adventure.
Thanks again for all of the information and help.
Have a blessed week!
Same thing I experceived with my Neso, spent too much time setting up, even another couple came over to help set up and they said it was a lot if sandbag filling. Some reviews mention the pole buckling in higher winds. I returned mine and will keep looking. I go down on the beach to relax, not maintain a shelter
Thanks for sharing, Dennis. I hope you find a beach shade that works out well for you.
What are your thoughts on the anchor bags taking up so much space on the beach especially on a busy summer day when it’s crowded?
These beach shades are not ideal for packed beaches.
Love the reviews, they are great! Taking 4 adults and 2 kids to the beach, do you recommend the Gigante or do you think the Grande would be sufficient? Kids are very active so I’d imagine we will be in and out a lot with probably 4 under there at a time most of the time and rarely all 6 of us.
Thanks, Tim! If you can wait until Sunday, I'll have the perfect video to answer your question!
Here's the video I was telling you about. Hope it helps you out!
ua-cam.com/video/amhTanHD9Sc/v-deo.html
I was curious if you had any more issues with a broken pole on the gigante. I am heading to the gulf coast soon, and the wind does pick up.
I have used my Neso Gigante a few times on a breezy day without incident, but if I know it's going to be a windy day at the beach (15+ mph winds), I take the Neso Grande, so I don't have to worry. . Have you watched this comparison review video yet? ua-cam.com/video/amhTanHD9Sc/v-deo.html
First of all, could you share what kind of red beach shoes you're sporting, please? They look sharp! Also, thanks very much for your insights on this Gigante tent! We are heading to FL this July with another family ( a total of four adults and 10 kids!) so we're going to need quite a bit of shade. I was considering the Ziggy Jumbo, but the Gigante seems like a better (and taller) option for us.
Cool! I just bought my second pair! Mishansha is the brand name. Here's my affiliate link: amzn.to/3gyTqxH
10 kids! Wow! The Gigante is certainly the biggest of the three and it sounds like it would be the best choice for your crew.
Thanks for letting me know the video helped you out. I hope you and your family have a great time in Florida!
@@BeachGearGuy just made my purchase, I appreciate your help! Saint Augustine, here we come!
throughout the day, the angle of the wind changes. I felt the need that I needed to adjust because of the wind. Is that necessary because if I didn’t move. It was very close to falling over.
When the wind changes direction and the beach canopy looks like it's struggling, I take the poles down and readjust the shade so the front is facing the breeze.
Ziggy best for winds / ninja for ease of setup/ gigante for chance of rain
I’m torn between the ninja and ziggy. I’m in Hawaii which do you recommend
Thanks for the question! Have you watched this video yet? ua-cam.com/video/D7EeD6rs_LM/v-deo.html
(Sun Ninja vs. The Neso Grande) It may help you make up your mind about which beach canopy is best for you.
Have you tried pouring some water into the sandbags to make them even heavier to keep from creeping inward?
That's an interesting idea, Billy! I haven't tried that yet, but I have set up my canopy beach tents in wet, muddy low tide sand. The damp sand does weigh more because it has more mass, so the wet sand does a better job weighing down the anchor bags.
Why would you want a unshaded where you aren't even facing the water depending on wind direction. Also if the wind shifts I assume you have to reset up the shade.
Hey, Which color would you recommend, does it matter? I want a solid color but not sure which ones block the most sun and are the coolest temperature wise. What do you think?
Dark colors absorb UV rays, making the surface of the shades hot, but the area underneath it cool. If you were thinking of the Neso beach tent, I would go with the blue.
@@BeachGearGuy :)
Would 2 neso gigante be a good option for a family of 20 on the beach or the neso party tent ?
I have yet to review the Neso party tent, but it's the biggest beach shade on the market. It may be the best option if you want your family under one tent.
Mine falls down a lot even when I bury the sandbags more. Sometimes wind direction isn't just one way unfortunately.
We got this and could not get it up. The wind was like 15-18 miles per hour. And its sooooo big. We really rather would want the smaller one😂
And we need to practice setting it up when it’s not so windy
So the lycra needs to be in a x shape? But wee had trouble to get the poles underneath it…..
It would be more ideal to set up the Neso Gigante on a calm day. Hope it works out better for you next time.
Thanks for the review i recently purchased a neso Gigante, you ever tried using the orange stakes instead of the sand bags to hold the tent up ?
I anchored the Neso Gigante with orange stakes on a lawn but not at the beach. 2:25
@@BeachGearGuy gotcha i am going to try the stakes in the sand to see if it works hopefully its more effecient
Before you do, watch this video first: ua-cam.com/video/D7EeD6rs_LM/v-deo.html
@@BeachGearGuy just checked it out, i guess its 50/50 using those stakes, i also noticed you used the stakes on semi wet sand, i am guessing on soft sand it would not work so great.
Yeah. I wouldn't trust them. Thanks for sharing your idea with me, though!
Do you think the orange stakes would be enough for hard packed sand?
I tried using the orange anchor screws with both the Neso Grande and the Sun Ninja in this video: ua-cam.com/video/D7EeD6rs_LM/v-deo.html
What's the foot print from sandbag to sandbag, looks like 30ft across or bigger
Not quite 30ft. The Neso Gigante footprint is 25ft by 25ft. I measured it in this review video: ua-cam.com/video/amhTanHD9Sc/v-deo.html
Have you looked into comparing the Otentik to all these brands?
Thanks for the good question! Yes. I'll be making other canopy beach tent comparison videos down the road. The Otentik Beach Sunshade (which seems to share the same basic design as the ZiggyShade Sun Shade) is on my list. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hey, I live the video and will not be purchasing the Neso. I do have 2 questions: are the poles thicker/stronger the bigger size you choose or are they the same pole? Also what are the blue shoes in the beginning of the video you are wearing. I saw you send people to a link to the red ones but I’m curious of the blue ones. The looks different. Thanks
Thanks for the questions! The Neso Gigante Poles are a foot longer than the Grande poles, and the diameter is the same. My feet are sporting the HIITAVE Men Barefoot Water Shoes. Unfortunately, the shoes I've got on in this video are not currently available on Amazon.
Could you anchor the Neso on the beach with your orange stakes instead of the sand bags?
It's possible, but they may get yanked out from the tension. Filling up the sand bags on the beach is really the way to go.
Wish someone would come up with a way to hold it up on a calm day. Would be perfect then.
Would you review the osoeri it comes with 8 sand bags
Thanks for your suggestion! I've used a beach shade similar to the Osoeri Beach Tent, and I didn't care for it. It took longer to set up, and the anchor bags would sometimes move when the wind picked up. It's better to have a canopy beach tent with four big anchor bags than eight smaller ones.
I just spent a week in Hilton Head and saw a bunch of Shibumi Shade canopies. We had some high wind and everyone had to take their umbrellas and canopies down, but the Shibumi thrived in the wind. I just can’t get over the price tag. I’d be curious to get your take on it.
You're not going to believe this, but I used the Shibumi Shade on three different days this past week. It actually should be my next review video on this channel. I'm with you on the price tag. $250 bucks! Yikes!
@@BeachGearGuy I set up next to the same family all week that had one. It went up so easy and even when the wind was down to single digits it was staying up. I bought the sportbrella xl after watching your video. I was a little jealous of the Shibumi though, I’m not gonna lie. For what it is, it should be $100-150.
I agree. The Shibumi looks cool...I'm finding it to be a little bit noisy though when I'm sitting under it. The Sport-Brella XL isn't as exciting to look at, but it does offer better sun protection. I agree with you on the price range as well. I appreciate the fact that it's sewn in America, but $100-150 would be more reasonable.
@@BeachGearGuy I just stumbled on a competitor for the Shibumi on Amazon and it’s at a much better price point. They started it at $150, but just bumped it to $175. It uses two poles instead of one solid. It also has rear poles for days without wind. You may need to do a side by side of them for us!

WOW! Good job! Thanks for finding that beach shade and sending me the info! My dad and I were sitting under the Shibumi yesterday and the wind stopped, and of course, the sun shade slowly collapsed on us as we sat on our beach chairs. We were thinking it would be cool if there was another pole to keep the back up when the wind stopped...and there it is, offered with a competitors product...at a more reasonable price. I'm working on the Shibumi video now but I'm definitely going to have to check out this Beach Shade...perhaps make a comparison video later this summer. Thanks again!
Can you tell me how many people might fit under the gigante tent vs. the grande size?
Great question! With a two pole setup, I would say you could fit 4 people under the Neso Grande and 6 people under the Neso Gigante.
@@BeachGearGuy I'm guessing this would be with chairs? Trying to decide for a family of 4 which would be a better purchase! Ty!
Osoeri comes with 8 sand bags
would this be possible to set up with stakes instead of sand bags?
Edit- Sorry asked to soon
Thanks for the question, though, Chip!
New subscriber here. You live in Florida? If so, what beaches can you drive a Jeep on?
Thanks! I love Florida, but I'm actually in New England.
I live in Chicago and looking for a beach tent for 2-3 people,durable, easy setup/take down,and that isn't huge. Would that be the pacific breeze tent? Thank you in advance
I would go with the Pacific Breeze XL.
@@BeachGearGuy thank you for the quick response and help
My pleasure! Hope you have a safe & fun summer!
@@BeachGearGuy do you review beach chairs? Thank you!
Sure! Here's my beach chair review from last summer: ua-cam.com/video/k1-_HdTp43A/v-deo.html
Hey Beach Gear Guy any chance you could do the NESO Party Tent I'm looking to bring it to a Music Festival but cant find any reviews anywhere! Please HELP!
I hope to review the Neso party tent, but it will be later in Spring. I know that doesn't help you now. Sorry, Man.
@@BeachGearGuy it may just work out! My concert isn't until September and I just want to know how it will hold up to the elements and what are the full dimensions with straps to fit our camping spot. P.S. the concert is the blue ridge rock festival also you could totally transition into festival tents and canopies since festivals happen not only on the land but on beaches. great reviews by the way!
@@woodsexp Thanks! Cool! I thought you needed the review sooner, so that works out well. I'm thinking the Neso party tent takes up a lot of space, but we'll know its exact measurements when I review it.
Do you have a link for the 15x15 neso gigabyte? I can only find 11x11
Thank you for the great question. I measured the 11' x 11' Neso Gigante when it was stretched out on the beach and got 15 feet by 14 feet. By the way, I like how your auto correct replaced the word gigante.
Haha thanks, when will you do a comparison video of the sun ninja and neso gigante? Which one do you prefer?
I compare the Neso Gigante with the Sun Ninja in this video: 7:43
Neso suggests fill the bags, raise the poles letting the bags slide in and then bury them.
Thanks for commenting! I've read that on their website. Perhaps setting up a canopy beach tent in that order may make more sense on a calm day at the beach. I just set up my new, black Neso Grande yesterday in 25 mile per hour winds and it went up without a hitch. I made my X shape on the beach, filled up the bags, buried the front bags in the sand and then raised up the poles. It was fantastic!
@@BeachGearGuy They are fantastic. Neso told me me that puts less tension on the rods so they don't break. I wonder if on a windy day a combo of both would hold her down and release the tension on the rods when they are all buried.
They smaller Nesos we have are easier for sure. The Gigante is a huge and takes some finesse in the wind! 😁
@@dashnja.9202 Yes! The Gigante beach tent is really in a class of it's own and requires more set up time on a windy day. I actually think the Gigante poles need to be made stronger. Between the two, I find that the Neso Grande is more manageable (and more enjoyable) on a windy day.
How strong is the tent fabric? I feel like the polls will eventually tear through the fabric???
The Neso fabric is really strong and is made to stretch. I've never had the poles rip through the fabric.
@@BeachGearGuy thank you. Great review!
Thanks!
Do they ever put walls on them? That would be a GameChanger in real life?
They don't have side walls, but it would be interesting to add one with a four-pole setup.
Cannot get it to stay up in moderate wind. So frustrating.
Sorry to hear that. The sandbags need to be completely loaded with sand and stretched out, so there's a lot of tension. The Gigante should work in moderate winds if the poles don't snap. Have you watched this video yet? ua-cam.com/video/amhTanHD9Sc/v-deo.html The Neso Grande is a good choice for a breezy day.
So the shades are 10x10 feet and the shade under it is only 2x2 feet. Haha
You make your keep look small 😂.
Maybe too gigante
👺😼
Subd sorry
If that broken pole lands in the face of a child its game over. ziggyshade more stable ?
It's pronounced dʒiˈgante just saying 🙂
"sand gripping" teeth. Lol.
This totally B's, it's a pain in the a$$$$$ to set up
