Abstract
A sun shelter that is a portable system to block the direct rays of the sun, providing a shaded area beneath a fabric canopy. The wind enters through a large opening and exits through smaller vents, creating increased air pressure thereby inflating the canopy. The canopy includes pockets that are weighed down to prevent movement of the shelter. The opening is secured with anchored guy lines. To decrease transportation weight, the pockets and anchors are filled with local materials.
