Great photo of the Barndoor Shack out in the wild, designed to fit on vans with double rear doors, and extending the space available to you and your dog!

Thanks to Edward for the photo and his pup for posing.

I have been an avid VW camper vanner for many years... On the first outing (a day only at a Country Park - it being February!) the Shack went up a dream … 30 seconds and there it was

Coronation St Shack

We were contacted by a lovely man called Graeme who is part of the ITV on-location film crew who film Coronation Street, to say they wanted a Shack for an upcoming storyline, Roy and Hayley's trip to Blackpool, at the end of the summer in 2013.

The Shack was a great success as the Great British weather did it's best to put the actors, the Shack and the film crew through their paces.  Here are some of the photos we were sent and if you'd like to see a short film of the trip featuring the Shack follow this link - www.itv.com/hayleysdiary-videos/behind-the-scenes-in-blackpool

There is only one thing more ackward than putting on a wetsuit - taking it off again

"The one drawback of wetsuits, of course, is the ridiculous, energy sapping set of contortions you have to go through to get them on and -particularly - off again.  At this time of year, wriggling out of a wettie is nothing more than a mild inconvenience... In January, all you'll hear is the odd high-pitched expletive uttered through gritted teeth. In February, if you're lucky, you might hear someone coin a brand new composite swearword...

But all that colourful cursing could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to the ingenuity of east coast surfer Allie Cherry.  After one particularly bone-chilling post-surf ordeal, she came up with the idea of a tarpauling shelter that could be attached to the tail gate of a car in a matter of seconds - an instant, weather-proof changing room.  And lo!  The Packa Shack was born...

Having had a chance to experiment with one over the last few weeks, I'm happy to report that they're roomy, cosy and extremely easy to use.  It goes without saying that surfers will be excited by the Packa Shack, but the potential is almost endless."

The Packa Shack is a compact shelter that uses the tailgate of your car for structure, making the area behind your boot a comfortable sanctuary from the weather... With practice we can deploy and fit the shack within 2-3 minutes, providing a wind and rainproof shelter that we can stand in for getting changed and chilling after a tough day of racing, making us the envy of the car park.
