Lightweight Aluminium Frame: The shelter boasts a lightweight aluminium frame, making it easy to transport and set up. The Imax Storm Safe has the now classic domed beach shelter shape which is a design proven to protect you from wind and rain.

Shore fishing beach shelters shouldn’t be confused with standard beach or garden shelters that can typically be bought very cheaply. These simply won’t do the same job or be as durable as purpose-designed fishing shelters. 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. On the outside are velcro rod holders to secure any rod that you have set up. There are a set of velcro holders each side.

When it comes to beach shelters, it's important to choose one that is both functional and durable. All of our beach fishing shelters are made from high-quality materials that are designed to withstand the harsh beach environment. They come equipped with pegging gutters that help to keep them secure on the sand, as well as wind and waterproof features that provide essential protection from the elements. 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

Designed to be set up from the ground up, this lightweight beach shelter is more than strong enough to handle the bleak conditions of exposed beaches, and features pegging points and a large sand skirt, to give you complete peace of mind when the wind starts to get up.

It's 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 base flaps and once properly erected it is stable in even the worst conditions.

Imax Storm Safe Beach Shelter V2 maintains the classic domed beach shelter shape of the original model but with a number of improvements. 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.

Imax Storm Safe Beach Shelter

The beach can be a miserable place to be when you’re stood in driving wind and rain, which is why a fishing shelter can feel like a godsend. How To Choose A Beach Fishing Shelter The shelter is secured by piling sand or shingle onto the base flaps to make it stable in even the worst of conditions. It’s quite a roomy design and can fit two inside at a push. 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. The use of Beach Shelters is particularly popular among anglers who want to stay protected and comfortable while fishing. The shelter provides a safe and secure place to store fishing gear, food, and drinks, as well as a space to take a break from the sun or rain. It also allows anglers to fish for longer periods, as they can stay out of the sun and wind, which can be exhausting and uncomfortable. Nevertheless, it is still a superb shelter and is the best of the bunch for withstanding extremely high winds and rain.

Classic Domed Design: The classic domed design of the Imax Storm Safe Beach Shelter V2 ensures maximum space and comfort for anglers. It literally takes seconds to erect, and the one main factor that differentiates it from other umbrellas is that it does not have a centre pole. Instead, all you must do is open it just like you would with a standard type, and then simply locate two front legs onto the forward spokes. This allows for great stability in the wind, as well as creating a massive, sheltered area, which you could lie down in comfortably. However, having sung its praises, I have to say that the latest one is more akin to a task on the Krypton Factor! It now comprises several separate pieces, whereas the original one went up in one go. The four legs each come in two sections, which makes the Buddy more compact for transporting, although they can be left in permanently if wanted. There are also two covers to locate for assembly completion, which makes it all a bit fiddly on the beach when it is windy.The new Imax FR Shelter has arrived on the market just in time as the Ian Gold igloo has been discontinued. The Imax FR is much lighter than many other shelters weighing under 4kg. So far so good, let’s take a closer look. Now all that is left to do is insert the front peg, pull over the cover and secure it using the Velcro fasteners… That’s it! In only a matter of moments, you have a shelter ready to keep you, your gear and bait undercover from the elements. The Salt XT shelter has a wide front opening and the mid-section has a flat roof, allowing you to sit inside the shelter and still have a good view of your rods. It’s wide enough for two adults to sit in reasonable comfort too. While a shelter can provide protection from the elements on rough days, one is also useful on very hot days, providing much needed shade for anglers and especially bait. Cool boxes and the like function a lot better when kept out of direct sunlight, and if you’re keeping a few fish for the table then they’ll help keep them in good condition. Additionally, there are pegging gutters that you lay stone on to keep the shelter as secure on the beach as possible.
