ABSTRACT:
A portable beach cache having a plurality of fabric panels and rigid support members arranged in a picture frame configuration for sheltering the user from wind and wind-blown debris, such as sand. Fold-out feet provide support in soft sand. A handle is provided to simplify carrying and a hook and loop strap secures the portable beach cache in its stowably disposed position. The portable beach cache is compact when folded and light enough to be easily carried by hand. A second embodiment is disclosed wherein the portable beach cache has a single screen panel and a plurality of rigid vertical support members and elongate rods. The screen is attached between two of the vertical support members in the fashion of a tennis net. The vertical support members have pointed ends which are driven into the ground. The elongate rods are then attached to the vertical members to provide strength and to stretch the screen panel taut. The portable beach cache of the second embodiment can be easily stored by disassembly and placing the horizontal support members along side the vertical members and then rolling the vertical and horizontal members up inside the screen. The rigid support members of the second embodiment may be disassembled to provide storage.
