A cheap way to stay dry when camping in the rain

Wet weather can spoil your weekend, but staying dry doesn't have to cost the earth. In the video you can see our simple and cheap shelter we bought from K-mart for around $40 a few years ago. It is 4m x 3m with standing height in the middle. In moderate wind we have dropped one side lower to provide more shelter.

Pros are that it is cheap, easy to put up, provides shelter from rain and sun, is big enough for a family

Cons are that is not extremely robust in wind, doesn't provide shelter in the wind (no sides)
