✭✭✭✭ SUN CABANA ABOUT R699; CAPE UNION MART

This lightweight shelter, that also offers UV protection, requires no assembly – just take it out of its carry bag and it automatically pops open. But you’ll need to get the hang of folding it away. The construction is fairly sturdy and the shelter comes with pegs that you secure into the ground. The high ceiling makes the dome feel bigger, but the dark-coloured material makes it less airy, though the zipped back allows for ventilation (or privacy).

VERDICT: Optimum protection and pleasant to use – great value for money.
