What a good idea!

Tall pegs that point upwards just where the shelter is lowest. :D

I think it's safe to say this one won't be winning the 2019 design awards.
I didn't spot that, assumed they would be using sky hooks and invisible thread.

I assume the person sent out to do the photographs had no idea of how to set it up properly.

It is a naff design, especially since companies like 3F have mastered strut corners. It looks like a simple mod to create a sleeve in each corner and insert a carbon strut. Then the pegs could be submerged at each corner. I would definitely do that if i was purchasing. Great price.

Interesting to see 3F UL gear now produce bathtubs of various sizes, adding to the choice of what is readily available.

Nice to see Polyester options (based on the X-Mid and my custom Valley and Peak bathtub I like the material due to the non-slippy PU side); however, 3F UL have hardly been clear about the coating; suspect it is silicone coated rather than asymmetric silicone / PU silpoly.

All these Ali links redirect me to the Spanish mobile Ali site on my phone. Is this just me?

Yes, I think so. I think you might have inadvertently set it to Spanish language. Try changing the language on desktop site to English/GBP on the top right corner. There doesn't seem to be an option to change that on mobile site.
