Great while it lasted
We enjoyed our coolcabana for about an hour before the middle pole snapped. We made sure the pole was pushed into the sand up to the marked line and filled the sand pockets until they were overflowing but the winds got the better of it and snapped it clean. Since it unfortunately broke on the first use a few days after purchase, I contacted coolcabanas to see if it qualified for a warranty replacement but unfortunately it did not. I was told the only way it would break is by improper use or used in the wrong weather conditions. It was windy but there were plenty of other coolcabanas set up around us with no issues.
We truly did enjoy it before it broke and we have bought another one (yet to be used). It provides a good amount of shade without impeding on your view of the beach. It would earn another star if it had clearly labelled the limits for wind speeds written on the setup tag on the unit itself (15-20 mph) so that other people don't find themselves in our situation.
