FAQs
How quickly can the Daiwa Sand Storm Shelter be set up?
The shelter is designed for rapid setup, typically taking just a few minutes thanks to its elastic poles and easy-tensioning system.
What are the assembled dimensions?
The shelter offers an open front of 2.5m wide and a height of 1.4m. It is 1.5m deep.
Is the skirt effective in windy conditions?
Yes, the 40cm extended bottom skirt is designed to be covered with sand or gravel, providing significant stability against strong shore winds.
What is included with the shelter?
The Daiwa Sand Storm Shelter comes with four ground spikes for anchoring and a durable holdall for transport and storage.
Can this shelter protect me from rain?
It offers good protection from wind and splash, but its open-front design means it provides limited protection from driving rain coming directly from the front.
What type of ground is best for this shelter?
It is optimized for sand and shingle beaches, where the extended skirt can be effectively utilized for anchoring.
How should I clean and store the shelter?
Shake off loose debris, allow it to air dry completely, then fold and store in its holdall. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Shelter is difficult to assemble
Ensure all poles are correctly inserted into their sleeves and that the elastic is not twisted. Check that Velcro straps are undone before attempting to connect poles.
Shelter is not stable in wind
Ensure the bottom skirt is fully extended and generously covered with sand or gravel. Use all four ground spikes and ensure they are driven in securely.
Condensation inside the shelter
Ensure adequate ventilation by not completely closing off the front. Allow air to circulate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unpack the shelter and lay out the main body. The elasticated poles will largely guide assembly; insert them into their designated sleeves. Use the Velcro and snaplock tensioners to secure the poles and tighten the fabric. Extend the bottom skirt outwards and cover it with sand or gravel for stability. Secure the shelter further using the included ground spikes, driven into the sand or gravel at the skirt's edge.
Compatibility: This shelter is designed for beach and shingle environments. It is compatible with most standard ground types found in these locations. The included ground spikes are suitable for sand and softer ground; for very hard surfaces, alternative anchoring methods might be considered.
Care: After use, shake off as much sand and dirt as possible. Allow the shelter to dry completely before folding and storing it in the provided holdall to prevent mildew. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary, avoiding harsh chemicals.
