Pop up workshop advice for inclement weather

[Mutley Racers]

Morning all. I hope you are well and had a nice Christmas.

The title says it all really. I have had to postpone a job this morning due to the rain. I am working in an apartment in a block of flats but cannot cut any timber inside and the only outside area is open. Can anyone recommend a pop up tent that they use. I guess to fit a sheet material in so maybe 3 x 3m. All advice welcome. Cheers

Do you mean something like this?

Those concertina ones work quite well. Quality varies greatly though.

I've seen them at British summer events and they do keep the rain out when the heavens open. The better quality ones are quite solid and they really pack down small.

Sorry to state the obvious - but they need roping or weighing down, they can do a decent bit of damage if a gust picks them up, or they will be bent and snapped and useless.

I have a 3x3 from here. It is now a few years (10?) old so not from the current range but works and lasted well. But much more expensive than the previous posts.

Hi Guys. Thanks for the replies. They all look better than a £10 One I got on special from Homebase. It just blew to pieces. I actually want something that is pretty solid and tried and tested.

This site may help https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=quick ... e&ie=UTF-8 and consider using weights (or tools) to hold down in windy situations, but you need more tha £10
