Why every outdoor event needs one (or two)
At first glance, the Coleman Shelter Pro looks like your average event canopy. Pop it up, keep the sun off—job done, right?
Not quite.
This little beauty is one of the most useful bits of kit we offer at JET Equipment Hire. Whether you’re hosting a school fete in Leamington, running a market stall in Coventry, or stage-managing a mini-festival near Stratford, the Coleman Shelter Pro quietly does a lot more than people expect.
Here’s why it’s more than just a roof over your head—and why you’ll be glad you booked one.
🌦️ 1. It’s Your First Line of Defence Against British Weather
Let’s be honest—planning an outdoor event in the West Midlands is always a bit of a gamble. One minute it’s sunny, the next it’s sideways rain. The Coleman Shelter Pro is built for unpredictability:
- Water-resistant to handle light to moderate showers
- UV protection for those rare scorchers
- Sturdy enough to handle breezy conditions without flapping about
JET Tip: Add the optional Shelter Sides & Door Kit to turn it into a proper little basecamp.
🎤 2. It’s More Than Shelter—It’s a Hub
We’ve seen our Coleman Shelters used as:
- Announcer booths
- DJ or tech tents
- First aid stations
- Registration and ticket desks
- Tea-and-biscuit stands (very important)
- Even mobile changing rooms!
Wherever you need a central point, this canopy makes it clear and comfortable.
🎪 3. It’s a Stage, Stall & Green Room in One
Need somewhere to store gear out of sight? Somewhere to do a quick outfit change or take a breather away from the crowd? Set up a shelter behind the scenes and you’ve instantly got:
- A shaded rest area
- A weatherproof kit stash zone
- A backstage holding spot for performers or speakers
JET Tip: Pair it with LED lighting or a smoke machine for a proper pop-up atmosphere.
🚚 4. It’s Easy to Transport, Quick to Set Up
Nobody wants to faff around with mystery poles and instructions that require a PhD. The Coleman Shelter Pro goes up fast (especially when we do it for you).
- Comes in a compact bundle
- Takes just minutes to assemble
- We’ll deliver and set it up as part of your package
“It’s up before you’ve even opened the flapjack tray.” – probably someone at a village fete last summer
💰 5. It Won’t Break the Bank
For just £50/day or £75/weekend, you get a solid, weather-ready shelter that adds huge value to your event.
Need extras? The Sides & Door Kit is just £10/day—great for added wind protection or privacy.
JET Value: Most popular when booked as part of our Arena PA or Full Event Setup packages.
Book Your Shelter, Stress Less
If your event’s outside (or partly outside), the Coleman Shelter Pro is a must-have. It gives you flexibility, shelter, and peace of mind—all without making your setup look like a car boot sale.
