Dads umbrella is letting water in. It fell down today and his old umbrella leaked like a sieve. He still managed three carp despite his soggy seat. My thoughts are to get him a day shelter. The pegs on his club lake are quite tight and he would need a good height. Any suggestions ?
Dad is 90 so nothing too complicated or strenuous btw

Titan Hide XL. It's a lot taller than the standard Hide and it comes with vents on the back. Really easy to assemble too

I have one of these, does not come simpler to put up and does the job for a day shelter.
Not sure if they are still available though

Thank you guys. You have been a great help. He is over for the football tomorrow so I now have some choices for him. He is old school so a brolly with sides is maybe a step too far for him but I will do my best to convince him of the benefits of the fox specialist
