    Did u settle on this one op lol

  • Similar but larger cabanas are causing a few issues around Nelson Bay.

    Visitors from western Sydney are erecting them and leaving them erected on the beach for days on end - but only occupying them for a couple of hours a day….

    Effectively reserving that part of the beach for themselves for a week or so. Not a problem on a huge beach, but at places like Little Beach it is causing some angst.

    174cm x 174cm isn't super large. The majority I have seen lately have been more like 3m x 3m

      That's easily fixed. The council should regard it as littering and remove unattended one at the end of each day.

      • The council is too interested in doubling rates for the residents and doesnt want to do anything to piss off the tourists which they seem to think everyone relies on…

      • +10

        That's easily fixed. Finders keepers. No need to involve the state.

        Seriously, even in Noosa are people stupid enough to believe the news. The large ones are $250 (RRP).
        At most Noosa beaches, they rent and sell them for above RRP, anything that is left behind is gone. People believe anything in the news.
        Ohh.. and it's always people from Western Sydney.. lol.

      Would be a shame if they were to… go missing overnight ?🤔

      • -2

        You would be accused of racism and you would risk physical injury…..

        • Over… night ;) ;)

        • Nice fantasy.

      • Catch on fire?👍🏼

    • are they sleeping in these over night?

      council should go erecting them at the end of each night.

      • No

        Typical behaviour is this.

        Arrive on Saturday. Erect cabana at 3pm.

        Use cabana 3pm to 6pm.

        Leave the beach with the cabana erected.

        Return to the beach Sunday 12 noon. Use cabana for 3 hours. Leave beach 3pm with cabana erected.

        Rinse and repeat till Friday afternoon 3pm when you pack away the cabana….

        • Or…

          Arrive on Saturday. Erect cabana at 3pm.

          Use cabana 3pm to 6pm.

          Leave the beach with the cabana erected.

          Return to the beach Sunday 12 noon. Find out unattended property is no one's to claim.

        • So many erect cabanas….

        • Like maybe 1 person has done this, but sure believe the media.

          • @UltimateAI: I live here. I can tell you for a fact in the last 2 weeks, at least 30 cabanas have been left erected for days…..

            • @TheCandyMan2020: If that's true, you should complain to the council. Otherwise, maybe there's a business collecting abandoned Cabanas in the early hours of the morning and reselling them.

    • Metal detector finds 😂

    • +1

      This is such a silly "issue"

      If you leave something on the beach its now rubbish and anyone can take them.

      If it was a real issue then people should just take all the cabanas and sell them on gumtree.

      We need an ozbargain post for this:

      [NSW] Free Cabanas at Nelson Beach and Little Beach. Pick up only

    • How do you know they're from Western Sydney?

      • +1

        He went to the beach every day for a month and interviewed all of them.

      • Yeah @TheCandyMan2020 how do u know mate

      • You are at the beach in Sydney. Technically everyone is from western Sydney there.

        • Technically not.
          West of the beach ≠ Western Sydney

    • Same at Noosa. Go early in the morn and set up and leave it all day even if you arent there.
      Good to be put of the sun but they are causing issues.

    • Remove, clean, list on facebook marketplace, resell to people who probably left them there, have money to spend on ozbargain.

    • Absolute rubbish, just returned from their every morning and night zero cabanas.
      In Noosa, commercial operations rent and sell them right on the main beach. Every second chemist and corner store sells them. (actual branded Beach Cabana, not knock offs)
      On the smaller beaches, it's only an issue for locals, still plenty of room for people, as places like Little Beach have limited parking anyway.
      I was guilty of putting one up, used it, but left it up while we went on a decent walk.

      No I wasn't selfish enough to put it up between the flags.

        Yeah, I’m suspicious. We spent a week at Shoal Bay and this happened precisely zero times.

    • +1

      Sounds like abandoned property looking for a new owner. Nice cheap cabana courtesy of ignorant aholes.

  • Do these come with sidewalls? I'm guessing the shaded part wouldn't be smack bang in the middle of the cabana hence you would need to sit on the outside of the cabana to be in the shade?

    • That's basic beach umbrella physics, but yes (to the 2nd Q).

    • +3

      No sidewalls. It makes them less likely to blow over.

      • That's a shame. We visited a busy beach the other day and nearly every second group had something similar to this however, with no sidewalls meaning everyone was actually sitting outside them pretty much the whole day.

        • Outside… the shade?? Have these people never used a beach umbrella??

          • @wisdomtooth: This isn't a normal beach umbrella where you just move it to face the sun to shade where you're sitting. The sun is very rarely right on top of the Cabana meaning the shade will always be located slightly off center or even outside the cabana.

            • @InTheMarket: Sure, just follow the shade. That's true of any gazebo sort of shelter.

              • @wisdomtooth: That's correct, even if it means having to sit outside the cabana to be in the shade. A side wall would help increase the shaded area of the cabana.

                Here's an image to help you understand what I'm talking about.

                  @InTheMarket: I don't get it. You don't move the umbrella if it is in the ground either, you move yourself. This is just a fixed umbrella.

                  • +1

                    @bio: Some (maybe most) beach umbrellas allow you to swivel/angel the top half to a position that provides better shade for you without physically taking the pole out of the sand.

                • +4

                  @InTheMarket: lol? the whole point of the cabana is not so you can sit under the cabana, it's so that you can have some shade. who cares if you are "outside the cabana"? the sun is almost always on top of the umbrella unless youre going near sunrise or sunset. these things are useful the majority of the day, which is why the beaches are absolutely filled with them this summer

                  • @hongerwonger: Spot on.

                  • +2

                    @hongerwonger: The more cabanas the better. That way you can catch the shade from your cabana by sitting directly under the cabana that's next you lol

                  • +1

                    @hongerwonger: LOL I'm just pointing out what I've noticed at a beach that was so full of people that you could barely find a spot on the beach to set one of these up, let alone occupy the shaded area outside your own cabana.

                    Personally I really don't care if I'm sitting under or outside the cabana to get some shade. Back to my original comment re. a side wall, this would help to increase the shaded area which this cabana doesn't have.

                    • +1

                      @InTheMarket: Agree a side wall would definitely help. Even better if it's zipped in, so it can be moved to any side of the cabana as necessary.

                      • +1

                        @Barca123: I've seen ones with side walls. But, as @TheCandyMan2020 pointed out above, that increases the risk of it being blown away by wind gusts. I wouldn't use it at an open ocean beach.

                    • @InTheMarket: I wonder something like this would work.

                  • @hongerwonger:

                    the sun is almost always on top of the umbrella unless youre going near sunrise or sunset.

                    And who wants to sit in the shade at sunrise or sunset, anyway?? The point of a sun shelter is protecting from the sweltering mid-day summer sun, not from low radiation morning and afternoon sun.

    • +1

      They ate basically a square beach umbrella with a flap on each corner that you put sand in to keep it in place.

  • Too small, I think even 2.5m is possibly too small also

    • … for a herd or a harem?

    • I reckon 3m x 3m is the sweet spot.

    • +1

      How is 174m too small? You could shade the entire beach with it

      • Not sure if you are trolling (174m!) or it is a genuine question, but I have a 2.4m Cool Cabana and even that is not too big for more than 1 person.

  • No stock available for C&C unless you are next to the Darwin store unfortunately. Looks to be still available for delivery though.

  • -1

    no SPF rating.

    so these are just decorative?

    • -1

      Do beach umbrellas have SPF ratings now?? That just sounds gimmecry. A shade is a shade.

      • Would the neggers care to elaborate?

        • +1

          The neggers are just stupid people.

          You only need SPF ratings for clothes because there's no way to tell if its working.

          If you want to see if your beach cabana is protecting you against the sun, open your eyes.
