Used it today at the beach and was very happy with it. I didn’t find the plastic to be fragile at all like others are mentioning. Went in the sand easy and I didn’t even realize it moves with the wind which is awesome! You never have the canopy flopping over. It adjusts itself. Amazing. Recommend for sure.

Absolutely love it! We used it for the first time this weekend. I was able to tote and set it up all by myself. It is light weight and it stay up in the wind. Couldn't ask for anything more!

Easiest and best tent/umbrella that you could possibly have. Takes seconds to set up and you’re covered. My family is amped!

Love the product but definitely have an idea to increase sales and my satisfaction. We would’ve liked to take this on vacation with us but it doesn’t fit in baggage. A suggestion is to engineer a safe and sturdy way to package the poles in three pieces instead of the two so it’s fit in short enough carry bag to fit in my large luggage bag!

Great

Love the ease of setting it up and no more worries of chasing umbrellas down the beach!

The awning fabric got damaged in shipping but they sent me a new one right away. Very polite and professional. Also we do a lot of Windsports & are really enjoying the awning. Thanks

On the beach at Sunset Beach NC. Could have sold a half dozen!! Plenty of shade, very stiff wind, umbrellas were flying and crushing in. Solbello held strong! ❤️

We used the Solbello 6 August days in the OBX. Wind was, at minimum, 11mph with 13 mph gusts, ~ 11am-3pm each day. The first day the Solbello shade worked great. Worked as advertised. The following 5 days was nothing but fighting with the shade. The auto swivel /adjust to the direction of the wind feature meant no one was consistently in the shade. The bigger issue was that the shade would spin all the way around and then get hung up on the pole. Which meant getting up every 5 minutes to untangle the shade and spin it back around. A latch to prevent the umbrella from spinning a complete 360 would have helped (see photo). We tried the “use at your own risk” stationary lines which were complete useless (didn’t read that fine print before purchasing). All in all, great idea but too inconsistent for the price tag.

Best beach shade ever purchased. We have had it two years and I absolutely love it. It works great for 3 people and its simple as pie to put up just one person. Not complicated at all. Down side to a wind shade is you have to have wind. So if your going somewhere that your not sure you best have a back up. I've watched people put up other umbrellas and wind shades that takes two people. There has been a few times it didn't work because the wind came in a direction that the wind was blocked. Pays to have shade that doesn't require wind and one the doesn't.

Our Solbello sun shade is the easiest ever to protect us from the sun! It's as easy as putting up a beach umbrella, and it provided shade for 2-4 people, depending on the sun.

So easy to put up and no worries about it flying away. Four can sit under it easily.

Solbello recently made its Falmouth (Cape Cod) debut at Surf Drive Beach. Following is a sample of the comments/questions (Q) and my answers/responses(A):

Q: What is that called?

A: Solbello.

Q: Oh, like the author (Saul Bellow)

Q: Did you make that?

A: Yes, I had the materials in my workshop and had nothing to do one afternoon.

Q: What happens if there is no wind?

A: It makes a terrific lean-to.

Q: Now that is cool.

A: Yes, literally cool.

NB: It was very windy and a number of folks decided against deploying their standard-design beach umbrellas. Our Solbello was, ahem, unflappable.

We went to the beach setup our Solbello, which was easy even in the wind, and enjoyed a large shaded area. It was very easy to setup and stood up well to the wind.
I've been recommending it to our friends.

Received and already took to the beach. This is worth every penny! Easy to carry and provides plenty of shade without worry of it blowing away. Would most definitely buy again!!
