Pop-Up Shelter For Temporary Use
Originally designed for use by the military and disaster responders, the pop-up units have a wide variety of other uses, suggests Don Harvey, EZ Shelters.
The EZ Shelters are fully insulated, 4-walled, 8-ft. tall structures that collapse to a 2 1/2-ft. height. The 8-ft. wide units are available in 16-ft., 9-in. and 20-ft. lengths.
Equipped with two windows and a lockable door, they are also wired with electrical outlets, lights, telephone and computer jacks and even a smoke detector. Removable panels on the rear wall allow easy mounting of optional heating and air conditioning units.
The 2,600 and 2,900-lb. weights require a forklift or similar device to move and stack them. However, once in place the 26-gauge steel-sided walls are easily erected by two or, in the case of the larger shelter, three people in only five minutes.
“The units are priced at $18,000 and $21,000, respectively,” says Harvey. “If multiple shelters are needed, up to 11 of the smaller ones or 6 of the larger ones can be stacked three high on a 52-ft. lowboy.”
