    Little UV tent for the beach?

    Ok lovely people,

    Where can I get me one of those wee UV tents you get for the beach? Gonna take DD to the beach over the holidays and don't want her (or ME!) getting sunburn!

    Thanks!

    Ooo Bunnings also sell a few different varieties!
    I got some big umbrellas that kinda "screw" into the sand, iykwim, from Big w. They're awesome, so easy and shady. I also use them in the backyard under the water table

    Some are really little and we can't all fit lol. We just got a new big one from BCF. Try to get one with loops to use sand pegs in, otherwise if there is nothing in it, wind will pick em up.

    We got ours from Rays outdoors, it fits us all in nicely, very easy to put up and fold down no poles to insert or anything just one piece and you can use pegs or the there are pockets you fill with sand, we have never used the pegs as on beach find sand works better.

    The pop up ones are good, I don't like ours because it takes forever to set up, putting poles together & threading them through little holes. I may as well put up a camping tent, and it's too small (depth-wise) so we don't get much shade in it regardless of which way it faces
