Abstract
An enclosure intended to provide privacy and protection when tanning outdoors is herein disclosed, utilizing a lightweight frame. All sides are covered with a screen material and feature opaque panels that can be rolled up to allow for air flow or let down to provide privacy. The screen material provides for protection against insects as well. The roof of the enclosure is made of clear plastic through which the transmission of ultraviolet rays is still possible, thus allowing for tanning. Entrance into the enclosure is provided through a zippered opening at each end. The enclosure can be easily disassembled for ease of transportation or storage when not in use.
