Thread: Disco 1 minute shelter.

clip one side of your sheet to the drivers side gutter,



lift it up over the back door and clip it to the passangers side gutter (you can use an occy strap down to the wheel arch on this one)



open the rear door and clip it to the edge



If its not too windy or you only need to shelter yourself while you do something in the back your pretty much done (I used to use the same thing to get shelter for changing Alex you can do a similar setup from the sides)

Grab your extendable pole (this pic is taken from under the shelter after it had been up unsupported in the rain for about 20 minutes or so.)



tie it to or insert it in an edge eyelet or the corner if you're using it as shade.
Then take your rope and tie it to your chain box (I used hootchie cord and a jackstand that just happened to be in the right place)



Done.

Some tips..

If your going to use the same style of clamps as I did it helps to cut a groove into the pads so that it can grip the top lip of the gutter.

Tie 2 lengths of cord to diagonally opposite corners of the sheet, if you want to also be able to set it up "long" instead of "wide" tie 2 different colour lines to the other sides. this way when you grab a corner it will set up correctly, quickly and without fumbling.

once you've worked out the height of your pole mark it so that you can easily and quickly preset it. If you get one of the poles with the push in dimple that lets you adjust it in steps, drill the outer at the right height and trace an alignement line along the pole so that if it twists you can easily relocate the dimple.

Try to park with the front right corner on the downslope, this makes the rear door hang open rather than try to fight you by closing, It also helps with the runoff from the natural gutter that will form in the material AND stops the runoff from the roof gutters from coming under the sheet. If you cant get the drivers side low using the 2 Piece handle from the red rover jack acts as a good prop for the rear door.
