DIY – From Sun Shelter to Lounging Tent
What could be more luxurious than a bug-free little space lounge and read a book or sip a cocktail.
To fashion this one I had to to do some “MacGyvoring”. I added a detachable zipped screen to the front of a sun canopy. This is a really good way to put the parts of discarded tents to use.
A straw mat and lawn furniture fit neatly inside to provide a nice little haven.
It can even withstand a light sprinkling of rain. If the rain should get heavier, and I need to take cover, the furniture quickly gets folded down and covered with a tarp to keep it dry.
Colourful string lights change the ambiance to a more magical one as evening approaches. Those stake-style solar lamps surrounding tent, I found at the dollar-store.
Aspire to kind of lifestyle do you really want
It felt like the wind grabbing onto the camper was going to make the whole thing tip over. And now there was hail too. Its at these times you start remembering all the stories of trees cashing down , crushing vehicles and lighting striking hydro lines. causing an explosion. And of course, tornados come to mind.
And then it was over…at least the worst part. The sky had settling into a lighter rain.
I was able get out an survey the soaked lawnchairs standing in puddles. The towels from the clothesline were plastered into the muddy ground.
Water was runnining in rivulets down the streets, and kids were out splashing in the muddy water. All in all, it was pretty cool, and the air felt clean and clean again. It was ging to be a good sleep tonight.

We had just enough of the day left for the sun’s rays to present us with this beautiful rainbow. The shower house had a dramatiicly different background now..
