Camping is a terrific outdoor activity, but it can be a real drag when the sun beats down on your campsite. Enter the Kelty Shadehouse, a versatile freestanding shelter that's designed to protect you from the elements. The Shadehouse--which easily covers your seating area or picnic table--is made of tough 75-denier polyurethane polyester taffeta, helping it hold up to long-term use. In addition, the Shadehouse resists gusts and bumps from passersby thanks to its DA17 pre-bent aluminum poles. Designed by DAC specifically for tents, the DA17 poles are stiffer, stronger, and lighter than fiberglass poles, with a cost that's only slightly higher. And should you need a little more protection than the Shadehouse itself can offer, the shelter is compatible with attachable accessory walls (sold separately). Other details include NiteIze Figure 9 guyline adjusters, which make it easy to tense the rope and release the tension (no more tying, adjusting, and untying knots), and clip-sleeve construction, which helps increase the overall strength of the shelter.

About Kelty
Kelty has been building affordable, reliable outdoor gear since 1952, helping everyone--from the first-time camper to the experienced mountaineer--embrace the outdoor experience with confidence. Dick Kelty launched the company after years of making backpacks in his home or garage for friends, hand forming and welding each of the frames while his wife sewed the pack bags. The original Kelty packs included aircraft-aluminum contoured frames, padded shoulder straps, waist belts, clevis-pin attachments, nylon pack cloth, zippered pockets, and hold-open frames. Dick Kelty quit his carpentry business in 1956 to focus full time on Kelty Packs, and turned an old Glendale, California, barbershop into his first retail store and factory. In the ensuring years, Kelty expanded its product line to include daypacks, luggage, waterproof clothing, child carriers, jogging strollers, and more.
