portable shelters
Camper's temporary housing
Portable shelters are structures designed to be moved from place to place, providing temporary protection from weather or other elements.
The term covers a range from camping tents and pop-up canopies to emergency relief housing and military field quarters.
What unites them is the combination of mobility and shelter: The hikers packed their portable shelters for the backcountry trip.
Unlike permanent buildings, portable shelters prioritize quick assembly, light weight, or ease of transport over durability.
