 Don't Leave Home Without It! Aug 17, 2006
By Ann Johnson
I purchased this sun shelter for my family's vacation on the Outer Banks of NC. It was over a hundred degrees that week and being outside would have been prohibitive without this shelter. It was a huge success. Although it was easy to put up, we decided to leave it up for the entire week -- including overnight. Even the breezes of the Outer Banks couldn't blow this thing down. Special note: I purchased 17 inch, sturdy anchors to keep it secure. The short, dainty anchors included with the shelter would not have worked in the sand.

Parha Que is a Winner - Sun Shade / Rain Shelter Nov 09, 2006
By Pam
The Parha Que Cottonwood is a wonderful design. The flexible poles are shock-corded and easily slip into place. Once the shade is stretched into place and staked to the ground, it is very secure and withstands gusty wind. It is so light weight that I have no problem carrying it when packed up. The amount of shelter is just large enough to protect from the sun or rain. My first six outings with it make me hopeful that this shelter will be durable for many years to come. It is a great addition to the camping gear.
I have purchased a whole series of competitor products to essentially create a sun shade and rain shelter to use while camping. The others have either bent or broken in the wind. The last two were extremely heavy to lift into the back of the truck and I pinched my fingers more than once on set-up and pack-up. (Despite the heavy construction, the hinged joints bent and broke in the wind.)

Great Design May 23, 2006
By Camp Family
"Thiebaults"
After having very good experience with this companies Pamo Valley tent, we decided to try out this item. We have a few friends who own them and really like them. It takes a little longer to set up than the ez-up types we have seen, but not much. It is so much lighter than those others that we can take it with us to a lot of events. This company seems to make good stuff, so far we are happy with both products that we own.

Great Product Jan 12, 2007
By L. Bellantoni
"Soccer Mom"
We live in Arizona and my daughter plays competitive soccer, so we've been using this shelter every weekend since we received it. It's very easy to set up and take down (it's quick once you've done it once or twice), it's durable yet much lighter than other shelters of its size, and it's vey convenient to have it roll up in the easy carry bag. All the other team parents like it better than the "standard" ones that you often see around the fields, and frankly it's pretty cool-looking. Only two minor points, which may or may not be an issue: first, one person really can't set it up alone -- you need two; second, it doesn't have the option of adding a side panel, which would come in handy when the sun is low. Neither of these is an issue for us, and thus my 5-star rating, but the side panel would really have been a bonus since here we still use it all winter long.

 Partial shade Aug 07, 2010
By Emma
This is a shelter with an attractive shape. It is strong; it flexes well with the wind. I am giving it three stars for a couple of reasons.
One, when you open it up you read the instructions: "Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun!" Okay, I guess it is most appropriate for providing shade from the moon.
Two, it doesn't provide that much shade. The sun shines right through. That was the first thing my family members mentioned. I ended up tying a heavy woven bedspread on top to get a decent amount of shade and temperature reduction.
Also note you can't get the blue color anymore. It seems to only come in orange.
