As a wearer of glasses, I also sport a wide brimmed hat... 😅

Pop up gazebo worth a look? 

thank you guys

the gazebo i have looked at only works on grass, cant seem to find one for concrete floor.

You'd need some very heavy weights to keep a gazebo in place on a solid floor.

Agreed about the weight’s that could be a problem. Personally I have to just work around the lovely Scottish weather.😂  

thank you guys

i live in cornwall and so far for past few days, it has been raining non stop 😞 

Weather never helpful when you need it to be.😁 done a engine swap on my daughters Citroen c1 in the snow a couple of year’s ago can be done just unpleasant.🤣 still think the gazebo idea could be made to work. I actually have a wooden garage (full of motorbikes and stuff) was going to rig up a gazebo off the front of the garage?

I've been eyeing up these for the last few years link here. They sell cheaper options too, but get one with side walls and that should provide plenty of protection. The one in the link is pretty sturdy. 

hi guys

i do apologies for bringing up an old thread but i am still in need of something to help me work outside without being rained on and stopping the rain.

has anyone got any updated recommedation please?

i am guessing it will be around £300?

You want a gazebo with sides, then get some 4x2 wide enough to go between the feet, bolt the gazebo legs to it then weigh the 4x2 down with sand bags or anything suitable you've got

Add 15l water containers suspended to each leg to stop getting blown away.
