Paint booth in a bag

 I've been puzzling over a way to set up a temporary paint booth. Have done it before using PVC pipe as a framework covered with plastic film. But the cost of these materials today has gotten ridiculous. Then I found these cheap party tents that were available in a size that would be just right for my shop space. Everything packs into a bag for compact storage. 

 

This opens up to a 10' x 20' popup style tent and comes with six removable side panels to make a fully enclosed space. It takes two people to erect this, with one person at each end to pull open the structure. 



Two of the six side panels have full-height zippers that can work as entry doors. The other four have screened windows that have zippered covers. I arranged the zipper panels to give access from each side, and the window panels at the long ends. These will be set up with filters and fans later for airflow.
