I was in the market for a cheap beach shelter and I stumbled upon this. I was able to pick up one via C&C at Roxburgh park store which I believe was one of the last few. Some stores shows stock in my area & shipping at 7.99 is also possible via eBay which I believe is still a decent deal. I tested mine and it's nice and sturdy and should last for a while to keep the kids in shade while playing in the sun.
Edit: Was @ $20 in this deal - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/229823
User review by Devil Dog Eyes:
We were looking for something quick, light and easy as we have a young son and wanted somewhere available for him to get some quick relief from the sun. We were not planning on all huddling around inside it for long periods!
The mesh panels do seem a little annoying, but I am told they are for the wind and most of the other shelters of this type seem to have them as well. I guess an industrious person could duct tape on some flaps of material or something to cover them if they wanted to. Pegs and Sand bags are included, hopefully that's enough to stop it flying away.
I haven't had the chance to take it to the beach yet but I have set it up out side a couple of times and can confirm that it is very quick and easy to put up and take down, much better than assembling those annoying tent poles! The bag is spacious enough that you don't have to fold it up perfectly to pack it away either.
You can certainly get bigger and better options for double and triple the price, maybe bigw and bunnings had similar items before at the same or better price, but I couldn't find them
