Sports reviews of ABO Gear Tripod Shelter
Customer Review: "alien" canopy
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Three years ago I bought two of these tripod canopies when I found them on sale. We have used them during our two-week beach trips for those three years. They aren't as simple as those basic rectangular shelters we see up and down the beach, but ours seem to be more durable... and they certainly catch the eye! They look a bit like weird alien spaceships, but that's part of their charm.
The issue of durability is second only to the sun protection for me. (The 50 SPF was a huge selling point.) Every year we set up a canopy (or two) on the beach the day we arrive and leave it up for two weeks. The shock-corded poles allow these things to really bounce around in the wind; many times I've seen them blown almost to the point of laying down on the sand, but until this summer they always popped right back up when the wind died. Sadly we lost one this past week in a couple of days of fierce and constant winds. It didn't come down, but the poles split and the sharp edges tore through the fabric. We took down the second canopy to keep it intact (first time in three years of typical beach thunderstorms!)
I did put up this crazy shelter by myself once, but it really requires two people to handle it, especially in a breeze. The instructions are simple and can be kept in a clear pocket on the carry bag.
I would recommend using a little WD-40 on the silver/metal parts to keep them from rusting if you're using it near the ocean.
I definitely got my money's worth out of the Tripod, and we have enjoyed using it. I might look for something a bit smaller that I can put up myself, but I doubt we'll find anything as durable as these have been.

About ABO Gear
ABO (Australian Beach Outdoor) began in 1995, with the humble goal of finding a solution to the common beach towel. The company called its first product the ABO mat--an oversized cotton mat with four stakes to prevent it from blowing away in the wind which folded into a convenient fanny pack. This initial product launch led to other popular items, such as beach tents, picnic blankets, beach hammocks, and more. In developing new products, the company's first aim is always to create gear that minimizes ABO's carbon footprint. ABO gear remains a fast-growing company with products in the beach, outdoor, pet, gift, and travel goods market.
