Getting ready for my late fall trip and I was wondering what fellow tc'ers used for a outside shelter. The one thing I do miss is having a place for guests to eat or entertain. So I have been looking in cabellas and other outdoor stores for ideas. So far I see plus and minus to everything I have seen. It will need to be very easy for 1 person to take out and setup and it will be often since I only stay in an area for 3-4 days max at a time.

I use 3 10x10 EZ ups. Put some table and chairs in em along with 1 for outdoor cooking. Coleman white gas stove past down to me by my Dad in the 60's. Nice wayto bring him with me and remember when he got me camping back in the 50's

We have two ez up 10x10 pop ups. Easy to set up and take down. We even have a wall kit for them and that also is easy to set up.

I have a 10x10 cover but has netting all the way around. It is big enough to put over a picnic table, and here in Alaska it keeps the bugs out while cooking and eating. I don't know the name brand, but I bought it at Costco. It was on sale for $85. Works good here in Alaska, and fits at the foot of my east-west bed. It also only takes 60 seconds to put up, and about 2 minutes to put away.Garry

What is an EZ up? Do they have a web site?

EZ UP is a fold up four leg canopy sold at most outdoor or sports stores for under $100I I use a 12X12 for over the table and a 10X10 for over the fire pit with caution. I have had the smaller one for many years and both hold up well with a little care and common sense. We are year round campers in Oregon. Best of luck

What do you use for a outside portable shelter?
