pop up shade for when you're weeding in the garden
i just bought the best thing ever. its a pop up sun shelter - without a bottom. it weighs 3 pounds, very light weight. easy to haul out to the garden or hoist over a garden fence. it can be staked in place or has pockets for filling to weigh it down.

i've been playing with it out in the garden all morning. i seriously LOVE this thing. where has it been all my life?!!?
the medication i take makes me overheat and sweat profusely. dehydration and heat stroke are a constant battle. this severely limits my time in the garden to about 15 minutes at a time before i have to go inside and cool down. everything takes SO long when you can only work in 15 minute increments. today, sitting in its shade, i made it an entire hour before i had to come in and cool down! its 85`F and was sunny this morning.
the back zips open and ties back, and it has windows on its sides that open so you can allow a breeze to come thru (if there is one). it is a little tricky to fold up the first time or two, but if you follow the detailed printed picture instructions included, or watch the included dvd, or watch the videos on youtube, once you get the hang of it you're fine. its not difficult at all.
they sell tons of pop up sun shades, but most of them have bottoms on them, so they're worthless for weeding. but this one doesnt have the bottom. its so neat!
here it is in my garden (ignore my ugly weed bucket)
it folds up small
i found this all on my own and paid for it myself, i'm not sponsored by them or anything like that.
bed bath and beyond had it online only, and amazon had it too. toys r us was the only store i could find it at locally so i could go buy it yesterday rather than waiting for shipping. and it was $50. maybe theres better or cheaper options out there if you look harder than i did. i just searched for 'pop up sun shade'. i just love this thing so much i had to share. i know i cant be the only one who wants portable pop up shade while weeding.
