I made some improvements to make it easier to set up and move around. Tying the legs together with an adjustable length of Paracord makes it easier to set up, and also easier to move to another location or adjust if the wind changes direction. Using a waterproof dry bag for weight allows it to be filled with water if the sand is too hard to dig up.
I have planned improvements to allow the shade to be used in no wind and reduce the flapping and noise in high winds.
▼ WHERE TO BUY PARTS TO DIY:
▶ Tent Poles - 20 feet in length (length I used in the video) - amzn.to/3CDljzA or amzn.to/3exRZTs
▶ Tent Poles - 25 feet in length - amzn.to/3sp8VPf
▶ Fabric (No sew) - A king-sized bed sheet works well for this - amzn.to/3D1iEkJ
▶ Fabric (microfiber beach blanket works great and is quieter than Silpoly rip-stop fabric) - amzn.to/3oQ35s7
▶ Fabric Tape (No Sewing required, just use the double sticky tape to make the tent pole pocket hem) - amzn.to/3qA04wy
▶ Fabric (Sewing a hem required) - amzn.to/42UIktN
▶ Fabric (Sewing required) If you buy fabric to sew together, use ~1.1oz ripstop polyester, like Silpoly. Do not use Nylon, it will deteriorate in the sun. Use polyester thread for sewing. ripstopbythero...
▶ Dry Bag - A dry bag can hold sand, dirt, rocks, or water - amzn.to/3rWlX6C
▶ Paracord - amzn.to/3EMe1fY

How To Make a Windproof Beach Sun Shade Canopy

Nice that the family playing on the beach were not bothered by you putting it right next to their shelter.
😂 they sure were friendly about it.
This was the idea I didn’t know I needed!! Makes life sooo much easier for a renter
This is great! I was just telling my husband I could make this with a bed sheet and here you are doing it!! Great minds think alike! :)
Yes, and there are other ways to make a similar shade shown here www.engineerable.com/single-post/how-to-make-a-windproof-beach-shade-canopy-like-diy-sun-shade
Brilliant! I ordered the beach blanket and 20’ tent pole. I have everything else to make a little sandbag. This is a shibumi clone for around $50. Using the beach blanket makes the design so simple that no instructions are really necessary.
This really cool! I was looking for a way to shade a tent in the open from sun. If there is no breeze to hold the sheet out - could this rig be guyed out with rope and pegs?
@@lonecamper1806 yes, it can be guyed out with ropes
This 2 pack of 12 ft pole you have in description, do they just connect to make one 24ft pole?
Unfortunately looks like they are out of stock at the moment. Usually those link to the 20ft poles, or the 25 ft poles. The diameter should be 9.5mm or 11mm. The 11mm are stronger and stiffer. Those 12ft poles will be flimsy.
Do it on the cheap like I do. Square/rectangle frame with PVC pipes. Dirt cheap compare to tent poles. No wind no problem build the whole box frame. When it's windy just untie 3 sides and let it fly.
I've been doing this for years.
You can also do upside down V on two sides with the cross bar connecting them.
Nice, would be cool to see some pics or videos of your creation
You can do one side with upside down V instead of using the rope and sand bag. It's simple really. Just pvc, couplers, 90 degree and 3 way corner connector. Cut to shorter pieces for easy transport in bag or buckets.
No sewing. I use glue on velcro on the fabric. You don't need to run the entire length with velcro. Just a few in between. It's not going anywhere.
You should make your next video doing this. 😁 Shibumi can go kick rock. $270 for a tent pole and a piece of nylon fabric is outrageous. Threatening you is lowlife stuff.
I'm not able to find the link to the video where you show how to make the shade. Thanks.
You know who asked that video be taken down, threatening legal action otherwise. You'll need to use your imagination.
@@engineerable that sucks. Thanks for your help. I’ll definitely be making my own but the legs tied together makes it super easy for one person setup 👍🏼

I made mine using a nylon tarp (for more UPF protection), but I'm wondering if another material, like a cotton bedsheet that you seem to be using here, will float better? Do you have any thoughts on that?
Nylon doesn't hold up well to the sun, although the actual exposure time will be short since this is not used 24/7. Lightweight cotton doesn't have as good of UPF as polyester. Check out the polyester microfiber beach cloth I used here. It is also quite like the cotton ruclips.net/video/46UtB61uktg/видео.html
Qué pasa si el viento cambia de dirección?
You pull out one leg and rotate it to face the wind again. In my experience, it only needs 1-2 adjustments per day
I may have overlooked it but what size waterproof dry bag did you use?
Check the description for links.
Where did you get that handy bag you put the water in. Whats the name of it

I know this is a different video from what I need but I need to fix the springs on my splat r ball srb375m and I need help with that
I have yet to take that one apart, but the gearbox is going to be very similar to an older gel blaster surge www.engineerable.com/single-post/what-s-inside-gel-blaster-surge-i-take-apart-this-gellet-blaster-toy-to-see-how-it-s-made-works
I made this. Even bought a sewing machine and taught myself to sew. However, first usage resulted in a sunburn. Does anyone have advice for UV blocking?
What fabric did you use? Brand, thickness? What's unusual is that polyester has a base UV protection of about 30. The beach blanket is made from microfiber polyester, so it should offer decent protection. You can use a UV spray to add UV protection. Here are some examples. amzn.to/47809rS

@engineerable
Thank you! I'll take the advice and update with results.
Update:
Tried the microfiber beach blanket. But, I bought a sewing machine from a private individual on Marketplace, taught myself to sew rod pockets and button holes, and omitted the fabric tape. Works great and no sunburn. Thanks again.
@@Zionist_Eternal Great success!
Do you have to cut the sheet for the rope in the center?
Sorry, they won't allow me to explain how to make it. You have to figure that out on your own.
@@engineerable now i definitely won't buy their product. You are not the only person they have threatened to sue or attempted to. $270 for a beach shade is absurd, and then they go around suing people. No thanks.
@@engineerable I saw local people on many remote islands in the 1980's when I was in the Navy use these on their beaches. They used a sort of bamboo pole and large sheet to make it. Truth be known, the company who threatened you likely took the idea from these remote people and they complained about you? That's a joke!
@@stevenlong5817 That's really interesting! I wish there was published photographic documentation of that. Do you remember if they used a cord in front to support it against the wind? That's the critical element in their patent.
@enineering, yes they used a line out front but it was staked in. Very simple idea. This shade idea has been around for 200 years on those islands. Leave it to a creative entity to patent it as their own. This is not rocket science or a proprietary super invention. Your video is awesome and simple!
I want 1 you have a link ?

There is a company that already makes these.
Right, and people have also been making their own forever. This is a DIY version.
