Whether you need a 2 man bivvy, 4 person bothy bags, group shelters, or a gazebo for your next outdoor gathering, we have a wide selection of choices. 

 

Ideal for providing a safe shelter in case of an emergency, many of our designs are made from rip-stop windproof and waterproof fabrics, and designed with reflective logos and piping. Incredibly lightweight, our collection of bothy bags and tarps pack down into a small size, and the larger styles, such as our event shelters, can even accommodate groups of adults or children - so they're a staple in any outdoor kit. Many are also designed with clear windows, airflow vents, and waterproof seats for additional comfort. The base drawcords and sealed seams ensure you stay dry whatever the weather throws at you.

 

For those looking for a more versatile option, our selection of Coleman event shelters and gazebos provide ample space and protection for your outdoor events or camping trips. These structures are easy to set up and offer reliable shelter from the elements.

Camping shelters are designed for rugged outdoor use, offering protection from rain, wind, and cold. Beach shelters prioritize UV protection, lightweight portability, and ease of setup, making them ideal for sunny, open environments like beaches or parks.

Most beach shelters are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. They provide shade and light rain protection but may not withstand heavy downpours. Check the material specifications before purchasing.

Consider your needs: weight for portability, size for group capacity, and weather resistance for the environment. Tents, tarps, or bivy bags are popular options depending on your camping style.

Yes, pop-up beach tents are designed for quick assembly. They spring open in seconds and are lightweight to carry. However, folding them back into their bag can sometimes be tricky.

A bivy shelter is a compact, single-person cover that protects against rain and wind. It’s ideal for minimalist camping or emergencies where carrying a full tent isn’t practical.

Durable materials like ripstop nylon or polyester with waterproof coatings are ideal for camping shelters. For beach shelters, UV-resistant fabrics with UPF ratings offer superior sun protection.

Bothy bags are designed for emergency use in harsh weather conditions but can be used on beaches if you need quick wind or rain protection. However, they’re not ideal for extended sun exposure.
