Just before we get into the detail of analysing the price of this product, we want to briefly highlight the importance of setting yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a suitable product. It’s all too often that we get carried away when shopping and find ourselves buying a fantastic product, but probably actually overdelivers on what we need and therefore costs a lot more than we should have spent. So spend a bit of time looking around at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products in the Beach shelters category and use that alongside your own financial situation to set yourself a budget. So I was looking for a shelter when camping either as a family or with friends to provide sun/rain shelter with sides when required as an alternative to hiding away inside tent/s when the weather was not playing ball. Also something to put up in garden for socials if weather iffy.

The next step for us was to look at all of the products that fall within the Beach shelters category, of which we found 10 products at Argos. So we pulled together all of the prices of these products to analyse the average prices as well as finding the cheapest and most expensive options. As Loftus said, unlike some other shelters, this one comes complete with all four sidewalls. They simply attach with toggles and loops. The central toggle & loop are coloured red, so you can't go wrong. The next step after looking at products in the same category, was to look at products from the same brand, Trespass. That's when I stumbled upon the Trespass event shelter, which is a much cheaper option, but still a brand name I know is a good bet. We'd bought Miss E a 2 man pop-up Trespass tent just the month before so she could hide outside on her own and she had been loving that. I'd been looking at various gazebos and event shelters, but I'd ruled out a gazebo as I wanted something robust enough to stay out for a week or two at a time. Then I spotted that my friend Sabina at Mummy Matters had a new event shelter from Coleman, so I investigated those and they look amazing, but are out of my price range, until I found out if this solution might even work for our needs.

Thanks to ex-para and now car-camper Tommy Graham for his tip on using stretch rope or bungee cordswhen tying down tarps and other shelters. Go for reflective or bright-coloured Clever fasteners The shelter is a great asset to use in the graden or away (annex to camper van. It is really good stable (it has been very windy. Pegging each foot down has been fine. I have not used the guy ropes yet). The first is brand. Looking at the brand of the product is often a really good indicator for judging product quality. For example you’d expect a much higher quality product from a brand known for providing excellent quality than you would from an unknown or even a budget brand. So let’s carry on with our Trespass Camping Event Shelter review and explore the product’s pricing. There are currently no images uploaded by members for this Utility Tent / Tarp.

Now, not only do the walls not billow in the breeze, but I can have them half-open vertically, should I so desire. If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list. Choose from screw-down tarp clipsor our favourite slide-shut ‘clingon’ type tarp clipsare our favourite. Unlike a gazebo that I owned previously, this is easy for me to set up on my own. I'm an OAP, so 'easy' is important. And I'm a solo camper, so single-handed erection is essential.The next step was to try and narrow down our search even more. So we’ve already looked the prices of products in the Beach shelters category. Then we’ve also looked at the prices of products from Trespass. So this step combines the two and looks specifically at the price you’d expect to pay for Trespass branded products in the Beach shelters category. By happy accident, the rain-brow on the side door of the Air4 fits neatly under the eaves of the shelter. The air4 and the Trespass shelter could have been made for each other.
