The garden laptop shelter is a must-have for WFH this summer

The temperature is soaring, but if you are stuck inside because your work laptop can't take the heat, this garden laptop shelter could be the answer to your prayers.

Working from home has its perks, of which working outside while topping up your tan should be one. However, over-heating laptops and the sun's glare on the screen can make working outside almost impossible.

The shelter looks a little like a private working booth you'd usually find in a library. When stood on a table or the floor it creates an alcove large enough to shield your laptop (but not you) from the sun's rays.

It is packed with sunny weather essentials. The shelter has a built-in shelf to hold your sun cream, there is nothing worse than getting sun-burn while at work.

It also has a fan holder to help you cool off as you top up your tan. It is even equipped with a hydration station, a.k.a a water hat that fits two small bottles. You can either wear it as you work or leave it on top of the shelter which has a special fitting for it.
