 Beach days are about making memories, and with integrated solar power you’ll always have the charge ready on your devices to capture your special moments. A handy pocket in the roof of the Hub houses the solar panels, powering two USB outputs which sit neatly in a pocket above the door. Store the power in a battery for later, or use it to power your devices directly – keep the music going, keep the lights lit, and never miss another moment.

**Available as an add-on perk, or as part of the Deluxe Package**

 

No beach kit is complete without a towel, so we’ve created the world’s biggest beach-towel to use as the flooring of your Beach Hub. Ninety square feet of comfort underfoot, stretching from corner to corner of the Beach Hub, with special spot outside for you to lounge on with a drink. This quick-drying, ultra-absorbent, sand-free towel is an essential addition to your beach day.

There aint no party like a Beach Hub party! Our LED lighting kit contains ten metres of lighting, with special loops positioned around the canopies of the tent so you can cover the entire structure in light. Use the remote control to choose from 365 colours and various effects and get the mood just right – warm sunset glow, winking fireflies or all-out disco party.

 **Available as an add-on perk, or as part of the Deluxe Package**

 

Instant setup can be done by one person in under sixty seconds – all you need to do is release the control strap and unfold the canopies – presto! your Beach Hub is born! If you like following steps then we’ve included on-tent guidance and if the wind is up then we’ve got a steps to beat that too, making the Beach Hub even easier and more versatile than you expected.

 

The takedown is the hard part right? Wrong . The Beach Hub has five easy steps baked into its body, and all completed in two minutes flat. These colour-coded guide spots mean that anybody can master the takedown right off the bat. It takes one person around 120 seconds to complete the takedown, meaning more beach time!

 

There isn’t a beach tent out there that you can truly relax in – that’s why we created the Beach Hub – the biggest instant beach shelter in the world. There’s enough space for six people to hang out, it’s got headroom to stand up in, twisting room to get changed for a swim, table room for a sunset banquet and plenty of space to just sit back and watch the waves. Size is everything 😉 

 

Nothing is more important than making sure you’re safe from sunburn and our materials are specially designed with protection from ultraviolet rays. The Beach Hub boosts your seaside safety by blocking up to 98%* of UV radiation. And with four doors, you can always choose the direction of your protection.

 

You don’t want to wilt in the high noon heat either, and the Beach Hub is ready to keep you cool as a cucumber. Climate control fabrics maintain the heat in the tent, so you can truly chill out. 

 

Nobody likes a rainy beach, and if you do get surprised by a summer shower then the Beach Hub is the perfect spot to be in, with waterproof fabrics throughout to keep you safe and dry inside.  

 

When it’s time to adventure away from the Hub, you need to be sure that your valuables are safe. Beat the pickpockets with the lock pocket, which comes with two keys, plenty of room, and gives you the confidence to head for the waves without looking back.

 

Ice-cool drinks and fresh food are served courtesy of the built-in cool pocket, which uses multi-layered isothermal foam insulation to maintain the temperature of your food and drink , so you can always reach for a cool one. 

 

Where do you put your wet beachwear? Throw it into into our dry bags and & keep it from soaking your other stuff. The pop open dry bags fold down smaller than a tangerine and are open in second, ready for you to throw in your wet things to deal with when you get home.

 

The Beach Hub has plenty of them – six in fact – with spades of room to store your beach toys, drinks, day clothes and more.

 

Dropping anchor at the beachside is easy, with specially designed pegs that grip the sand and counterweight sand-bags built into the body of your Beach Hub. This is why we’re happy to certify the Beach Hub for winds of up to 50km/h (31mph). Our guy ropes are reflective too, which means less trips at your beach parties.

 

Got a bigger gang? Connect your beach Hubs together for double the space and double the fun. Each Beach Hub can connect to another, so you can connect two, three, eight, or a thousand. This makes the Beach Hub perfect for BBQs, beach parties or just for big families. 

 

 

The Beach Hub has been a long time in the making. We’ve combined expertise in tent making and technology with a love of the beach to make what we think is the perfect companion for days and days of sun and sand.

We’ve involved a large community of beach enthusiasts to get the best of their know-how and experience and to make sure that our product is beach-ready as soon as it arrives with you. Numerous features, from the counterweight sandbags and anchors, toppermost UPF protection and towel flooring have come about as a direct result of their input and testing.

We’ve spent all summer testing it, and the product you see in the video is ready to go, but we have left a few minor details undetermined so that we can involve our kickstarter community in how their product turns out. To kick-start production we’ve ensured that all tech elements (such as the solar power pack, towel materials and the LED) have been tested, finalized and priced. As the campaign progresses we’ll gather your feedback on how you’d like to see the color ways and a couple of other final tweaks before we press the go button. With your help we can make something exceptional.

By backing us on Indiegogo you become part of the team, and the first rule of Team Beach Hub is to create the ultimate beach hub! A big part of getting this is facing the unknowns of the process. As part of the team we want to involve you in this, and for you to be ready too.

You’re joining a fantastic team, full of experience and skill and deep beach love. We have veteran crowdfunders, who have delivered $1.6 million of crowdfunded products. We have trusted manufacturers with a completed prototype, able product designers, crack customer experience experts and logistics know-alls. We have planned and scheduled, double checked and underlined.

However, crowdfunding, and product development is a process – it happens in real-time and is subject to chance and circumstance, and we want you to be aware that there may be hitches in the road. We’ve had hitches before, and we’ve overcome each and every one of them, but a packaging error, a part malfunction or a global pandemic – these things can and do happen – and they pose challenges to our project. As part of the team, you can leave all that to us, but do be aware that delays are possible and when you support a crowdfunded project, they can be part of the ride.

We’re also backing our product, and your Beach Hub will arrive with a 12 month warranty on all faults. What we can’t do, though, is refund your pledge for a delay in the project or if you change your mind. When you back a crowdfunding project you support a process – a way of making a great idea happen – and it’s not quite the same as purchasing a product in a shop. We’re going to use your support to create the product you see before you, and we’re going to do a fantastic job of it, but to do that we need to count on your support in a way that’s slightly different from a shop purchase and we hope that – as a part of the indiegogo community – you understand that.

We fully expect to deliver your Beach Hub in time for Summer 2021 and for the duration of the project we’ll be sending you a bimonthly newsletter to keep you updated on where the project is at and where we’re headed.
