Has anyone pitched this in a field/grass? I am looking for something to shade my family at soccer games.

Have only used it at the beach so far. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work though. I used a similar pop up, though not as nice, when my son was swimming. It worked fon on grass.

Yes, it actually works better in the grass because the stakes are more secure.

Yes, I used it in my front and back yard last summer to provide shade for my then infant. It worked great. It had multiple windows you could open or close for a cross breeze and it was easy to move if the other kids wanted to play somewhere else. I did bend some of the stakes trying to push them into the dry ground so I'd be sure to bring a small hammer or rubber mallet for easier install

Sorry, I'm no help either. I never thought to use it outside. One way to find out though!!! Let us know how it turns out.

That's why I bought mine. It works great and is easy to set up. I used it to house me, 2 small children and our cooler. It is not huge, but it is perfect for the soccer game. I did have a difficult time twisting it back down into it's little container, but I have always had problems with the pop-ups, so that may just be user error.

I work mostly indoors delivering presentations. I have used my twist outdoors in the shade, no problem. Good luck!

We have had it all summer. It has held up well. My boys (13 & 16) plus friends have been playing soccer or practicing goal kicks. So far we have no bends. The wind did tip it over once, but it has held up fine all summer. We only got the goal in April of this year.

I have only used it on the grass, but I do stake it down so it will not move. On the cement I believe it would slide a little each time a ball went into it. It does have some weight too it, but if you put some kind of weight (maybe like a bucket with stuff in it) directly on the net on the backside that lays on the ground it would probably be fine. All in all I have had this net for about 2 years now, it was worth the money - I think I paid about $35. It has like a tent pole frame and I have broken a pole on it twice, I just sawed it off and stuffed back in the holder - has worked great both times I have only used it on the grass, but I do stake it down so it will not move.

I don't see why not but doesn't the grandstand wagon already come with a canopy? I use ours with the Radio Flyer All Terrain. While it does not cover the whole wagon, it does offer enough shade for our 4yo when he wants to sit and chill.

I built a canopy for ours. Email me at dnutte2@yahoo.com and I will send you a pic of the canopy I built

The sun protection isn't great, however it is really light which makes it easy to pack and set up. It is also very breathable. I thought I would use it at the beach for my one year old, but have got more use out of it while camping (it's the play tent), in our yard and inside the house. I tie a light blanket or sheet over it if more shade is needed. Overall, I initially purchased it for the shade but have already got my money's worth out of it for different reasons. Hope this was somewhat helpful.

I have not had good luck with that. It needs to be in full-sun all day. I have also experienced issues with the fact that I have a lot of animals that come through the area and it doesn't seem to hold the charge well if it get's set off often.

I live in a very windy area and my solar shade is holding up well. I left a little slack when I put it over my over the top of my pergola to give a little on the windy days.

I bought it for my grandbaby for Christmas this year so I don't know how well it will be for shade. There are several YouTube videos on this wagon, maybe they will give you a better idea on this wagon.

I used it in a parade. Two problems. First, it will not work well in windy conditions. Second, the light is way too faint outside, unless in darkness. This is really an inside decoration. For a really good fire effect outside, use a Camp Chef portable fire ring Model GC-LOG-2. Understand, that produces a REAL FIRE.

The shade/screen tent works great. It has tie downs that are optional depending on the wind. Since the tie downs are twine/rope, you can drill or put stakes between your pavers. For more shade, you can get shade panels. The only negative I have found, is the very fine mesh blocks slow breezes as well as gnats. If you only need shade, find another solution. If you want to keep bugs out, this will do it.

We are on the Texas coast and its almost always windy here. Our shade sail is working just fine for us. We use it at our daycare playground and I'm very satisfied.

Personally I would say no. We use it for baseball, and it works great. It is easy to set-up and take down, but suspect it may be disappointing to use it for soccer.

Grass is okay as long as it is relatively flat. We have taken it on the infield of a damp tball field. It was fine there. I don't think it would do well in significant mud.
