Product Information
Full details
The Kelty Sunshade With Side Wall is an ideal choice for campers, beach-goers, and festival attendees who need reliable, portable shelter from the elements. Its primary benefit is the adaptable tripod construction paired with a movable side wall, allowing you to easily track and block the sun as it moves throughout the day; however, users should note that at over 12 pounds, it is sturdier but heavier than ultra-lightweight shade options.

FAQs
Can I use this on hard surfaces like pavement?
The sunshade is designed for soil or sand. If using on hard surfaces, you will need to use heavy weights or sandbags on the corners instead of stakes.
Is the side wall removable?
Yes, the side wall is designed to be movable and can be adjusted to different sides of the tripod structure.
How much does the sunshade weigh?
The packaged weight is 12 lb 2 oz (5.5 kg).
What is the material of the canopy?
The canopy is constructed from durable polyester.
How large is the sunshade when packed?
The packed dimensions are 24 x 8 x 5 inches, making it easy to fit in most vehicle trunks.
Does it come with stakes?
Yes, the sunshade includes necessary stakes and features integrated pockets for the guylines.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting poles into grommets
Ensure the fabric is laid out completely flat and that you are using the correct tensioning points on the corners.
Shade feels unstable in high wind
Verify that all guylines are properly tensioned and that the stakes are driven into the ground at a 45-degree angle away from the shade.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Foolproof setup due to equal-length poles
- Adjustable side wall blocks sun at various angles
- Sturdy construction handles windy conditions better than standard umbrellas
- Shark Mouth duffel simplifies storage and carrying
- Generous 78 sq ft of protected area
Cons
- Heavier than compact beach umbrellas at 12 lbs 2 oz
- Requires more physical footprint than a pop-up canopy
- Manual setup takes longer than instant-deploy shades
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is intuitive due to the uniform length of the three poles, which eliminates the 'puzzle' of identifying which pole goes where.
- Lay out the canopy fabric on the ground.
- Assemble the three equal-length poles and insert them into the corner grommets.
- Tension the structure until the canopy is taut.
- Attach the movable wall to the desired side based on the sun's current angle.
- Secure the unit using the included guylines and stakes.
To ensure longevity, always dry the polyester material completely before packing it into the storage bag to prevent mildew. Wipe down the poles with a dry cloth after use, especially if used in sandy or salty environments, to maintain the integrity of the pole joints.
