For shore fishing, shelters require generous ‘skirts’. These lie flat on the ground so that they can be covered by stones and shingle to prevent the shelter from being blown away. They also help prevent sand from being blown into the shelter. While some shelters offer pegging systems, these are best used in conjunction with skirts rather than as the main method of securing them. Experience the pinnacle of beach fishing with the Imax Storm Safe Beach Shelter V2. Designed for the passionate angler, this shelter offers unmatched protection against the unpredictable elements of the sea. Features & Benefits Imax Storm Safe Beach Shelter V2 is 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 larger skirt and once properly erected it is stable in even the worst conditions. 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!

The Imax Storm Safe has the now classic domed beach shelter shape which is a design proven to protect you from wind and rain.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.

Additionally, there are pegging gutters that you lay stone on to keep the shelter as secure on the beach as possible. You can read more on what to expect from a beach shelter in our dedicated guide; What Equipment Do You NEED to Start Sea or Beach Fishing? Manufactured from heavy-duty nylon and supported by aluminium legs, the Beach Dream is all that a shelter should be. Beach Shelters are portable structures designed to provide shelter and protection for anglers, beachgoers, and outdoor enthusiasts on the beach. They typically feature lightweight and sturdy frames, which are easy to set up and provide excellent stability in windy conditions. The shelters are made from high-quality materials, which are waterproof and offer protection from harmful UV rays.

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. 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. Wind and Rain Protection: Made for the unpredictable British weather, this shelter offers superior protection against wind and rain, ensuring a comfortable fishing experience.
