Any ideas for a small rain shelter to work outside?

[HappyHippyDad]

Morning everyone.

I was wondering what you guys do if you need to work outside in the rain? I dont mean if it's a torrential storm, just some rain.

In paricular I just want to be able to cover a small area and have one or two tools with me.

It would have to be something that just pops up or is very easy and quick to put up, perhaps just a large sports umbrella!? SKLZ Sports Brella - Great Sun Protection Only £59.90

Or indeed any other clever ideas that you have?

Cheers.

wow. that are a lot. It would be cheaper to hire out a call girl to hold a golfing umbrella for you... and also a better view...

I'm with you on that one

I was thinking maybe Condoms .

But i dont think it could take a dam good hard banging really..

I don't know where you buy you condoms, but any that could not take a "good hard banging" cannot be much good !

Yes it was hard to word it so it had a X-Rating sort of suggestion to the suggest..
But they do use them for Water proof the barral of guns, and Cannons
also 8/10 drug mules swear by them

They are "Water Proof" but not designed to have a Strew stabbed at them or a Hammer or any other heavey object of a metal sort Slapped agest them, BUT if you want to test this out, I dont mind being the person using the Hammer and you can be in the condom to test if it can take a good Bang, see if it swells up twice the normal size so to speak

I think "banging" must have more then on meaning .. .. . . . . . . . . ..

What about Pop-up gazebos; 'EasyGazebos'.

 

[fadox21]

Where I am working at the minute (DNO)they use massive well built unbrellas, best thing I have ever seen to work dry. Slam in the ground or strap to something great bit of kit. Shame I didnt have one a few years ago changing outside isolators up and down the country some days looking like I just had a bath ha!

Dunno if I've done the link right, £40 Argos and looks larger and easier to work under than a brolly!

Buy a van with a back door that opens up like in my picture. Just watch when you shut it though or you will get drenched. I've done it a few times! ?

What sort of jobs would you be doing outside? I can only assume stuff up against a wall maybe?

For me if it rains, I go inside until it stops, charm the customer and have a bit of banter and then they recommend me...

I do do have full wet gear with good sized hoods, but still, I don't work in rain.
