The company called its first product the ABO mat--an oversized cotton mat with four stakes to prevent it from blowing away in the wind which folded into a convenient fanny pack. This initial product launch led to other popular items, such as beach tents, picnic blankets, beach hammocks, and more. In developing new products, the company's first aim is always to create gear that minimizes ABO's carbon footprint. ABO gear remains a fast-growing company with products in the beach, outdoor, pet, gift, and travel goods market.

Review: Highly recommend. Just what I was looking for. - If you've ever set up a dome tent, this is similar but with less steps. Very easy directions and construction. I am a 40ish mom with shoulder replacements so what I can do with my arms is limited. I was determined to put this up by myself. I bought it to shade my son's pool rather than fighting him to slather on sunscreen multiple times a day. I also wanted it to be light enough to take to the beach. The poles were nice and sturdy and slid through the sleeves without snagging. At the end of each sleeve (there are 3) there is a pocket to stop the pole, so you don't have to attach it at each end. Getting the first pole up and attached was easy. The second and third poles were more difficult, but that probably has to do with the fact that the material is new and unstretched. It was difficult for me to simultaneously pull down the fabric and push up the pole (remember I have bad shoulders though). I almost asked for help but instead took a brick and pushed the pole down at the edge of the brick so the hole the pin fits into was still exposed while I used both arms to pull the fabric and pin into place. This all took me less than 45 minutes from the time I opened the box. It's been up for a week 24/7. I didn't need to use the tie downs but put some rocks into the pockets to keep it from blowing over. Love it!
Review: Great for backyard shade over little pools or sandboxes! - We loved our shade tent all summer. Everyone who came over for kid's play dates thought it was awesome to cover the kids while playing in the little pool, when the sun was extreme. This tent is easy to move around, but if you live somewhere, where a windstorm can appear during the summer, make sure you have this tent secured. It's designed to take air underneath, but if it's not secure enough, it will fly away. Ours flew away 3 times this summer and the final time, destroyed it, with a big hole the middle. I think it flew into a neighbors wired fence. I probably would have given this shade tent a 5 star; however, I didn't care for the connectors in which you install the stakes. It could have been designed better. Also, the tent is very hard to set up for the first time. It will need 2 people at least to set it up. Other than that, I plan on buying another one next summer. We enjoyed it and I'll post a picture, so you can see the backyard shade for the pool, to give an idea.

### ⭐ terrible in wind, one pole fractured during first use.
*by M***P on July 27, 2011*

(FYI...My purchase/experience was two years ago...I didn't write a review then, but just re-found this product again when looking for something new and thought I should share my experience) I had hopes for this product as an alternative to square canopies for use on the beach...streamline, more wind resistant, etc. However it was not suitable for virtually any wind. Even a low breeze (5-10mph which is normal at the beach) tilted the tripod significantly and it continually swayed back and forth in gusts. Annoying to sit under. And yes, I used the pegs, ropes, and pockets for weight. Even added wet sand for more weight. Those do nothing for the swaying in wind....they probably keep it from blowing over/away...but no anti-sway benefit at all. The set-up was extremely difficult/annoying. Simple in concept and should have been easy, but the force necessary to insert the poles was extremely excessive. Reading the other conflicting reviews on setup, the only thing I can imagine is that there is some variability on the dimensions of the fabric or poles. Some get a product with enough room, some, like me, get a product where I had to use significant force and profanities to stretch the fabric enough to insert the pole ends. I've set up a variety of hiking tents with the same basic structure concept and have always been able to do that alone if need be. I couldn't do this alone and had to have additional hands. We used it for a few days on the beach and initially took it down at night to avoid wind damage. After the second time, I decided to just leave it up overnight because it was such a hassle to setup (and I figured if it blew away I didn't care anymore). After two days/nights I had to take it down due to a pending thunderstorm and found that one of the fiberglass poles was badly split. Either from the wind, my force in assembly and the tautness in use, or possibly a combination...I don't know. Without knowing I didn't feel fair in returning it (I did leave it up overnight afterall) and I planned to repair the pole myself, but it's sat in the basement for two years, and I now never plan to use it again. Not worth the hassle. Also..the shade footprint is smaller than expected. I would not recommend this item.
