Evident in the word itself, shelters are like tents and tarpaulins and are used to provide protection against wind, rain, sun, and storms. Like the aforementioned products, the fabric used to produce shelters also carries an impregnation coating and is breathable, rot-proof, and anti-bacterial in nature.
