What is a shelter?
In its basic design, a shelter is a half-roof with three closed sides, so you have a nice accommodation sheltered from rain and wind. The idea of this half-open house for overnight stays comes from Sweden, where farmers in earlier times used shelters for overnight stays, when hay was cut on the setter, and it was too far from home to the farm. With a jump to the present, a shelter has become an important part of Danish outdoor life.
How much does a shelter cost?
A shelter can be had from DKK 8-9,000 in a build-it-yourself shelter kit , where you are sure that all the materials you need are included. Examples have been seen on the web where shelters in construction kits have been seen all the way down to around DKK 6,000, but when you then have to buy screws, a good roof coating etc. yes, it still ends up in the vicinity of ten thousand kroner for a shelter.
If you don't have the courage to build a shelter yourself, it is possible to buy a ready-made shelter ready for use, from just over twenty thousand DKK.

Where is a shelter used?
Wooden shelters find many uses, including as a combined cabin and overnight site on primitive tent and overnight sites in nature. With shelters in the open you can enjoy and experience nature up close. By making a fire pit under the eaves, you can always sit sheltered from rain and wind and enjoy the flames of the fire well into the night. On the playground, a shelter is always a favorite place to stay for both children and adults, because here there is shelter and dry weather. A shelter invites you to many activities, from playing and a place to eat packed lunches, to baking sno bread over the fire.
Shelter in the garden - can you do it?
In many private gardens, a shelter functions as an additional guest room and is a natural gathering place in the garden. With a shelter for the garden, with the right location in relation to shelter and evening sun, you can get almost the same options as with a conservatory, but at a fraction of the price. On top of that, the fire pit gives you the opportunity to cook wok or barbecue food and the heat from the fire helps to create a cozy atmosphere on cool summer evenings.
A shelter in the garden, on the playground or anywhere - quickly becomes a meeting point for both young and old. Children and young people can have overnight friends visit and give them a very special experience. On a warm summer night, it is fantastic to move out into your shelter. For most scouts, it is almost a must to have at least one shelter in connection with outdoor activities and accommodation.
