Product Information
Full details
The Avid InflataHouse Compact is designed for anglers seeking a spacious and rapidly deployable social shelter for extended fishing sessions. Its key benefit lies in the fully inflatable frame, which allows for quick, single-person setup and pack-away, while offering robust stability in various weather conditions. A potential caveat for some users might be its total weight of 27.8kg, which requires consideration for transport. This shelter is constructed from durable 10,000mm hydrostatic head khaki fabric, includes a zip-on tunnel porch with large PVC windows for socialising, and features interchangeable front panels (solid infill and mosquito mesh) for versatility. Ventilation and access are managed through side and rear panels with integrated mesh and solid infills, and an internal roof vapour shield helps reduce condensation.

Troubleshooting
Shelter not inflating fully or feels unstable
Ensure the pump is securely connected to the valve. Check that all inflation valves are properly closed. Re-inflate to the recommended pressure using the gauge. Inspect for any obvious punctures.
