TL;DR: As of August 17, you can get the POP-A-SHADE tent for just $ 36.99 instead of $ 59 in the Mashable Shop — that’s a savings of 38%.


Now that the sweltering summer heat is almost behind us, it’s time to arrange some outdoor activities before the snow blows in. Why not plan a day at the beach, a camping trip, or a fun night in, right in your own backyard? Something that could make that all more fun and enjoyable is a portable, easy-to-assemble tent. 

One such tent is the POP-A-SHADE, which only requires minimal setup. And it’s only $ 36.99, normally $ 59, for a limited time.

When you hear the word tent, you may only be thinking of using them during camping trips — but they have so many more uses. If you’re on the beach with the kiddos and the sun is too hot, a tent could offer some cool shade and protection from UV rays. Or, if you’re into tailgating or attending music festivals, a tent could shield you from rain, wind, or pesky insects.

Other tents can require extensive setup and knowledge, not to mention YouTube videos. The POP-A-SHADE has a much simpler design that can be ready to use in just a few minutes. In its carrying bag, the tent is folded into a round shape that just expands into a full-sized tent. You also get metal stakes to anchor the tent into place if necessary. 

The tent provides over six feet of standing room with a 4.5-foot by 3.8-foot base. This is likely enough room for you and a friend or a few kids, but not a larger group of people. Enjoy the tent’s skylight for some airflow, or keep it closed to take advantage of insect netting that helps keep the bugs away.

Make all of your upcoming adventures more fun with the POP-A-SHADE tent, now only $ 36.99 (reg. $ 59) for a limited time.

Prices subject to change.
