Instant pop-up privacy canopy/shelter/changing room: 4’ x 4’ canopy changing tent for one or two people. Perfect as a showering tent, portable toilet shelter, or sun cabana for camping, backyards, pools, beaches, and lakes. Changing room is also ideal for fashion shows and photoshoots.
So this isn't my first portable changing room, but it will certainly be the last one I purchase. First of all, this isn't from some no-name company. I'll admit, my experiences with Eagle Peak are few and far between, but they took care of me when I had minor issues with the changing room.
I bought this tent shade to serve many purposes, but the most important is to use it as changing booth when I do model photo shoots. Inside the tent shade, there are two spots to hang items, hangers for example. Then there are two mesh pockets. I imagine personal items could go in these mesh pockets. They fairly generous in size and could hold towels too. Then there is a window in the back, opposite of the zippered doorway. This can only be opened from the inside, and features several velcro pieces to hold it closed.
Assembly is pretty easy, such that one person could easily set it up. I love that they use push pins with rings on them to make locking the top part and unlocking it much easier than the other canopies with that little button you have to press in with your thumb.
The top comes without the fabric, but i plan to leave that on there to make setup that much easier from this point forward. I had a little bit of a hard time getting the fabric to zip from the top, and had to get some help with that. I brought this up as a potential issue with the company, and they said they are going to address it. Once zipped at the top, then it is very easy to zip it down, as the legs are not as tight as the top portion.
I forgot to mention the fabric that goes around the frame also has several hook and loop pieces to secure it to the poles, and to keep things snug. There are also sand bag holders at the bottom of each leg. For holding it down they also included several stakes and guy lines. I did not need these features for testing the canopy, but imagine in windier environments, I will use sand bags and the stakes.
I can see myself using this for many things, a model changing room, a pool-side changing room -- no more wet clothes in the house, a camping shower, and even a porta-potty setup.
Thank you Eagle Peak for finally making something that works and looks great and will be functional.. Robert R.. Fri Jul 28 2023
