The shelter is secured by piling sand or shingle onto the base flaps to make it stable in even the worst of conditions. It’s quite a roomy design and can fit two inside at a push.

While a shelter can provide protection from the elements on rough days, one is also useful on very hot days, providing much needed shade for anglers and especially bait. Cool boxes and the like function a lot better when kept out of direct sunlight, and if you’re keeping a few fish for the table then they’ll help keep them in good condition. Every sea angler will be aware of the need to keep sheltered during a beach-fishing session, especially in the cold, wet and windy winter months. But let us not forget that it can be equally important to seek shelter from the harmful properties of the sun in the summer!Classic Domed Design: The classic domed design of the Imax Storm Safe Beach Shelter V2 ensures maximum space and comfort for anglers. Imax Storm Safe Beach Shelter V2 maintains the classic domed beach shelter shape of the original model but with a number of improvements. Beach Shelters come in a range of sizes, from small one-man shelters to larger family-sized shelters. They are also available in a variety of styles, including pop-up shelters, dome shelters, and tunnel shelters, to suit different preferences and needs. This is another good example of how a beach shelter should be. It is light, waterproof and dead simple to put up – even in high winds.

The mosquito front completely encloses the shelter bivvy-style, which would make a summer night session absolute bliss. Nevertheless, it is still a superb shelter and is the best of the bunch for withstanding extremely high winds and rain.In my opinion it is a little bit of a fiddle to assemble, especially in windy conditions. Also, storing gear in it is a touch limited due to its acute shape. Shore fishing beach shelters shouldn’t be confused with standard beach or garden shelters that can typically be bought very cheaply. These simply won’t do the same job or be as durable as purpose-designed fishing shelters.

Designed to be set up from the ground up, this lightweight beach shelter is more than strong enough to handle the bleak conditions of exposed beaches, and features pegging points and a large sand skirt, to give you complete peace of mind when the wind starts to get up. The use of Beach Shelters is particularly popular among anglers who want to stay protected and comfortable while fishing. The shelter provides a safe and secure place to store fishing gear, food, and drinks, as well as a space to take a break from the sun or rain. It also allows anglers to fish for longer periods, as they can stay out of the sun and wind, which can be exhausting and uncomfortable.

Although we are quite used to shelters in the form of the Buddy etc, we must not forget about umbrellas and their practical attributes. The alloy legs are strong enough to be pushed into the sand for better anchorage, and as long as you are not 7ft tall, you could comfortably lie down and have a kip in it! On the outside are velcro rod holders to secure any rod that you have set up. There are a set of velcro holders each side. It's a very stable shelter which with a bit of practice is easy to erect, even in adverse conditions. The shelter is secured by piling sand or shingle onto the base flaps and once properly erected it is stable in even the worst conditions. Lightweight Aluminium Frame: The shelter boasts a lightweight aluminium frame, making it easy to transport and set up.

The Storm Safe has ample space for an angler and their gear! There is even space for a second person to shelter. There are roll up doors at the front and these have been designed to give even greater protection should you need it. The now distinctive grey and orange Imax colours continue to be very popular.

The shelter is secured by piling sand or shingle onto the larger skirt and once properly erected it is stable in even the worst conditions. Now all that is left to do is insert the front peg, pull over the cover and secure it using the Velcro fasteners… That’s it! In only a matter of moments, you have a shelter ready to keep you, your gear and bait undercover from the elements. A beach shelter tends to be one of the first things to come under consideration when shore anglers are trying to lighten their load. It’s true that some of them can be unwieldy to transport when a long hike is required, but it’s a fact that many anglers would rather not go fishing than be without a beach shelter.Compared with the bivvies used by carp anglers, shore shelters are generally small and lightweight and have relatively compact ‘footprints’. However, there are some very substantial shelters on the market that do offer more space, but this inevitably comes at a cost in respect of extra weight and bigger size, even when folded down. Larger shelters are probably worth considering if you fish long sessions on particular beach marks regularly, whereas smaller, lighter shelters are ideal for shorter sessions.
