Today I’m telling you about the fabulous Homeright Spray Painting Shelter
Many of us struggle with places to do our painting. I was doing my spraying in a carport, but it’s so dark in there, that I find I have a difficult time seeing if I’ve missed a spot.
Then I started spraying my projects on a drop cloth on the driveway. Now, I have a new way to get my projects done.
This is the wonderful new Homeright Spray Shelter. It is such a compact size to store away, but opens up to make a roomy spray booth.
I’ll be honest, the first time I put the paint shelter up, I struggled with the assembly. I’m not a camper, and I don’t have a very good understanding of how tents go up. 
Since that first time, I’ve put it up several more times, and it’s gotten so easy I can put it up in about five minutes. The directions are attached right to the bag so you will never lose them! Here are a few key points to remember:
- Laying it out on the ground or your driveway first is a must
- The front of the tent has pins that insert into the back poles.The front poles crisscross and end up using the pins on the back of the tent.
- I find that it’s easiest to insert the front poles and pins, then the back poles and pins.
- After you’ve done that, attach all of the clips to the poles.
- There is a ring in the back center that can be secured with an included stake, or weighted down with something heavy if you’re on a hard surface instead of the grass.
- When taking the Spray Shelter down, go in the reverse order.
- Lay your tent out neatly, folding it up that way, will allow you to put it up quickly the next time you use it.
Specs for the Spray Shelter
- Depth: 72″ at bottom – 30″ at top
- Width: 102″ at bottom – 92″ at top
- Height: 66.5″
When stored away:
- Depth: 29.1″
- Packaged width: 4.3″
- Packaged height: 4.3″
After setting up the paint shelter and some sawhorses, I readied my project. It’s a free coffee table I got from my friend Cathy. 
Of course I used my Finish Max with Heirloom Traditions Paint. (Moody)
I thought was going to be a gray, but then it looked blue…. then gray again. So, I guess you could say it’s an awesome blue-gray!
I started by painting the underneath side of the table.
Raising your project off the ground really helps your aching back, and allows you to get to hard-to-reach places.
The Finish Max and the Heirloom Traditions paint made this cheapo coffee table look good.
See how I did an easy image transfer on this cheap coffee table.

October 26, 2016 at 1:37 pmThis would be a God send for me with my low retirement budget. I’d be in project heaven… xoxox

July 2, 2015 at 1:05 amLive in a apartment this would good for me
Julie Whitmore says
July 1, 2015 at 11:28 amA spray shelter, what a great idea! It sure would make my projects easier to do.
Glo. says
June 30, 2015 at 11:37 pmWinning this awesome package would make all the projects that I need to get done closer to *getting* done!
Glo. says
June 30, 2015 at 11:30 pmWith three oak trees hanging over my driveway, using the shelter would make the projects I have to do sooo much easier and cleaner!
Jennifer Walter says
June 30, 2015 at 11:23 pmI have 27 interior doors to paint, need this!!
MaryAnn says
June 30, 2015 at 11:22 pmI have a small telephone table that belonged to my Grandmother I would like to either refinish or paint. I remember her using it in the early sixties
Jennifer says
June 30, 2015 at 10:47 pmI love how easy you make it look. I imagine a sprayer wound save tons of time….
debi m says
June 30, 2015 at 10:40 pmLike most people, I paint outside. We live near the ocean and always seem to have a breeze. The spray shelter would be awesome!
debi m says
June 30, 2015 at 10:23 pmWould love to win this prize package, have so many projects in the works, and this package would make life a breeze.
HomeRight has some amazing products.
debi m says
June 30, 2015 at 10:19 pmI have some candlesticks that are quite intricate.
Shawna Ribordy says
June 30, 2015 at 9:46 pmI could use these! I am constantly painting items and furniture and I’ve taken over my husband’s space in the garage. With these I could set up outside and the hubby could get back to his ‘Honey Do’ List!
Catherine Simmons says
June 30, 2015 at 9:14 pmI need this. I make such a mess when I paint.
Chris Lewis says
June 30, 2015 at 9:02 pmLove this idea! Would love to have something like this and start painting!
Kristina says
June 30, 2015 at 8:25 pmBeing a single mom of 4 boys the spray shelter would certainly come in handy. Having boys they are naturally curious about everything but I’m always conscious when I spray paint and I don’t like them around the smell. This would certainly help by letting them know to stay away from the area when the tent is up
Jessica Ross says
June 30, 2015 at 7:28 pmWould love to win this. Looks like a wonderful product that would get much use at my house.
Robin T says
June 30, 2015 at 5:50 pmSmall items to paint would be crate boxes, picture frames, furniture pieces/parts, salvaged parts, planters and much more! 🙂
Connie Haack says
June 30, 2015 at 5:41 pmOh boy! do we ever need this. Our only option right now is to paint in the sun and lately it has been sprinkling so we can’t paint outside at all. This would be the most convenient thing! We have dressers that need paint!
Robin T says
June 30, 2015 at 5:39 pmThe shelter would be fabulous for those breezy days. I’d want to win the package because I paint too much all of the time. It would be a great painting station! 🙂
Kathryn Jennings says
June 30, 2015 at 5:19 pmIt’s so windy here! This would be a great help!!!!
June See says
June 30, 2015 at 5:13 pmSo tired of having to make a “Homemade” paint booth with plastic!
Colleen Long says
June 30, 2015 at 2:43 pmI really can’t wait to start painting!! I love the idea of the paint shelter.’
Tamra says
June 30, 2015 at 2:33 pmThis spray tent would make my life so much easier! I have to paint outside on the grass now. I think more paint gets in the air than on my furniture!
Carol says
June 30, 2015 at 2:28 pmWould love to get started on learning to paint furniture …, this would be SO helpful
Rebekah Recker says
June 30, 2015 at 2:02 pmThis would be such a better option to open painting in our garage. I love to find old objects and re-purpose them to use around my house and farm. Having a quick set-up way to do this would make completing these projects so much quicker and better.
Katie says
June 30, 2015 at 1:54 pmI would love to win this to do all my projects in! My husband hates when I spray things in our garage 🙂
Katie says
June 30, 2015 at 1:52 pmLove this product!
Julie P says
June 30, 2015 at 1:37 pmI have a side table I’m ready to paint! That paint shelter is a great idea!
Donna Whitlock says
June 30, 2015 at 1:19 pmI’ve recently retired and have TONS of projects I’ve been waiting to do! These painting items/tools will come in very handy. Thanks for the chance to win them!
Lynn says
June 30, 2015 at 1:06 pmWith all the unpredictable weather (and now mutant mosquitoes!) we’ve been having, I have SERIOUSLY considered re-purposing one of my kids’ tents just so I can catch up on my painting! Having a shelter would definitely save me the trouble… AND allow the kids to camp out in the back yard one more season! Great give-away!
Nancy Sporbert says
June 30, 2015 at 12:44 pmI’d love to have the set so that I can start on all the “projects” I’ve been picking up on the curb over the last few months!
Jennifer Kuhls says
June 30, 2015 at 12:03 pmThank you! Your work is so inspiring!
Summer Scandariato says
June 30, 2015 at 11:58 amI have so many projects I can’t finish because I have no where to paint ! I would love a shelter like this!
Michelle says
June 30, 2015 at 11:53 amI would love to win this spray shelter so I would have a better place to spray paint!
patricia mastriano says
June 30, 2015 at 11:34 amThanks for the chance!
Carol I. says
June 30, 2015 at 10:42 amI have a beautiful lane hope chest that I got back in high school … a looonnnngggg time ago! I refinished it in a whitewash finish back in the 80’s … I want to try painting it in light gray! This would be perfect as I realllllyyyyy don’t like brush strokes!
Rebeca Walters says
June 30, 2015 at 10:32 amThis would work absolutely perfect when I spray my projects. The 100+ heat in the summer and frigid cold in the winter can make it very difficult to do painting in the garage while doing it out in the open and being hit with random gusts of wind that carry dust and debris can be quite a challenge as well. What a fantastic idea and valuable investment!
Melissa says
June 30, 2015 at 10:25 amThanks for the opportunity.
Julie says
June 30, 2015 at 10:02 amI love all your work! I currently paint everything by hand! There is a wind tunnel between my house and next door on the garage side! This would make all things possible!!!
Coralie B. says
June 30, 2015 at 9:55 amLove checking out your projects. They give me inspiration! 😉
Janelle Bryant says
June 30, 2015 at 9:32 amI would paint some ornamental pieces I salvaged from an old headboard my sister threw out.
Kim Gregory says
June 28, 2015 at 8:21 amOh the things I could pain with this sprayer might make it possible for me to get a car back in my garage and the paint marks on my lawn would be a thing of the past. Love, love the pop up shelter!
Vicki P says
June 27, 2015 at 9:19 pmBrilliant idea. Would make spray painting so much easier!
Sharlene Piscitelli says
June 25, 2015 at 9:29 pmI would love to use this system to paint some small tables and keep the paint from going where I don’t want it to.
angela w says
June 25, 2015 at 8:29 pmI would use this new system to paint a pine corner cabinet, and do it safely using the spray shelter in my driveway. Awesome idea! Thanks for this opportunity to win.
Charlene says
June 25, 2015 at 9:53 amRight now I am using the sun, wind, rain, my brush and me 🙂
Would be so cool to have this shelter, for the rainy / sunny days. Looks quick and easy to set up 🙂
I am very excited to see who wins!!
chris from midwest cottage and finds says
June 25, 2015 at 8:28 amAND I would use this spray shelter for all my furniture painting!!!
chris from midwest cottage and finds says
June 25, 2015 at 8:25 amOK–you read my mind!!! I need a spray tent!!!! GREAT give away!!
chris from Midwest Cottage and Finds
Ruth Anderson says
June 25, 2015 at 1:41 amThis would be a great addition for my painting.
chris aka monkey says
June 24, 2015 at 10:32 pmi haven’t ever seen one before and lordy lordy i don’t know how much paint i have wasted by the wind just blowing it away i would use this all the time xx
Terri Hughes says
June 24, 2015 at 9:52 pmI would love to win this sprayer shelter. It looks so simple to set up. And also, keep the paint in one place!
Terri Hughes says
June 24, 2015 at 9:47 pmWOW…..love the spray shelter. You could set the shelter up almost anywhere. Great for the keeping paint from spraying on everything else!
Jo Ashley says
June 24, 2015 at 2:48 pmThis shelter looks very handy and easy to store.
Yvette says
June 24, 2015 at 11:12 amSince developing lymphadema after BC surgery, brushing my projects has become difficult. This could be the answer to my problem.
Penny Bowyer says
June 24, 2015 at 7:26 amThis looks awesome!!! I have a sun shelter for the beach that I was seriously considering appropriating just for this purpose, but with this I wouldn’t have to, a win/win since it is ridiculously hot in Florida in the summer.
gail@myrepurposedlife.com says
June 24, 2015 at 9:18 amwell, aren’t you the great repurposer? going to use your sun shelter for painting. 🙂
Christine says
June 22, 2015 at 10:31 pmThis is totally awesome! I have been dying to refinish some furniture pieces, but am a bit of a neatnik and just haven’t had the guts to try to in our garage for fear of getting overspray on our things. Not to mention the preparation and cleanup. I would be tickled to win this and have a chance to use it on my first project.
Karen says
June 22, 2015 at 1:24 pmI would use this sprayer to repaint my bedroom furniture. . just for starters. My grown daughters also have some projects that need to be painted. This would be GREAT!!!
Karen says
June 22, 2015 at 1:21 pmThis seems to be such a GREAT spray outfit. I would love to win one of these!!!!
Shannon @ Fox Hollow Cottage says
June 22, 2015 at 11:11 amLOVE the idea of a pop up tent!! We get so much wind here on the coast, I often can not use my sprayer when I want too. And I love my HR sprayer!!
Rebecca B says
June 22, 2015 at 2:15 amI suspect that the shelter would be appropriated by my husband for his projects, or at least attempted. I would love to be able to protect my projects from the pollen and debris from the trees as much as the surroundings from overspray.
Rebecca B says
June 22, 2015 at 2:09 amMy neighbors are cleaning out and have put out a couple of chairs that I would like to take a shot at.
ML says
June 21, 2015 at 8:39 pmI have plenty of projects on my to do list. Some smaller upcoming projects are picture frames and a DVD shelf unit. This would be fabulous!
Cheryl Davidson says
June 21, 2015 at 12:38 pmI’m so excited about this giveaway! I could really use these products for all the projects I need to complete. Hope I’m the lucky winner! Love your blogspot…lots of great ideas!
Cathi Desimone says
June 21, 2015 at 9:43 amHmmm… where should I start? Okay, first, I Live to paint! I paint anything that doesn’t move, Okay, I accidentally painted my Hubby once, But, in my defense he should have known by now that I’m dangerous with a spray can! hahaha. Having a Shelter like this would be Heaven! No more rainbow colored grass ( Which, by the way looks very festive hours before throwing a backyard bash!) it would also mean no more furniture “body outlines” in the driveway (Oh, you painted your table!) and, the best one for last. The fateful day I neglected to close the garage door before painting. Honestly, I didn’t think it was that windy! Have you ever seen a black Harley Davidson motorcycle with lime green overspray? Yeah, I Really Need a Spray Paint Shelter, not only for my projects, but for my Husbands sanity.
Dale Terry says
June 21, 2015 at 8:57 amI have a somewhat complicated life and building/painting is my PEACE, my stress reliever. I still have to paint by brush in the house because I have no place to use the Homeright finishmax sprayer I bought, I would love to have that spray shelter as I have many projects backed up waiting to be made beautiful so they can enter the world in glory.
Patrice says
June 21, 2015 at 8:35 amI could use all of these! Have lots of little projects that need to be done, yet hubby says ‘NO!’ To painting in his garage!
Cat says
June 20, 2015 at 10:39 pmWhat a great idea! I would love to win too. I’m exploring with updating my furniture with paint and have asthma so I need to be outside to do it. This would work perfect.
phyllis h says
June 20, 2015 at 5:24 pmI have had my eye on this sprayer for some time. I’m exited to hear that there is a solution to the problem of finding a good place to use it. I’d love to be able to update my kitchen cabinets and a few furniture pieces without spending too much money.
Gloria says
June 20, 2015 at 11:33 amI sooooooo need this giveaway because we only have a one car garage (which the car does NOT go in because of all the other stuff in there)! So I can’t paint in there and our development’s houses are all pretty close together so I need a way to keep the spray from bothering the neighbors!!!!
Connie Haack says
June 20, 2015 at 6:28 amI love the shelter. I know my husband would use it all the time. He paints outside a lot and this would work perfectly. Love this idea
Sunny C says
June 20, 2015 at 12:50 amI would Love to have this, as it would make my life so much easier.
I have several to do items that I want to spray, and I do not have any way of working on them due to
needing to have them in an enclosed space, like this tent!
Thank-You so much for the chance.
Also, I would use a garden Hose for easy clean up.
Katie B. says
June 19, 2015 at 11:55 amI am so excited about this. We just bought a 1970’s home that needs so much updating. I am going to be updating and painting cabinetry, doors, walls, trim, and building some cabinets too. A sprayer and shelter would be perfect for my many projects, and making clean-up better would be the icing on the cake.
Mindi says
June 19, 2015 at 12:56 amI would use this awesome spray shelter to paint my furniture! Such a great invention! Thanks Gail!
Mindi says
June 19, 2015 at 12:54 amLet’s see I would use either a kitchen sink, because I don’t have a utility sink, or a garden hose. I think like you said the garden hose has more power and would work better! 🙂
amy tolley says
June 18, 2015 at 8:46 pmi would use this to spray paint items in my garage but wouldnt use this if spray painting my walls
amy tolley says
June 18, 2015 at 8:45 pmi would clean this in my utility sink in the utility room
amy tolley says
June 18, 2015 at 8:44 pmI have a couple of rockers i would love to spray paint
Jennifer kvidera says
June 18, 2015 at 6:34 pmI NEED this because I love all things junk! My slogan… Everything old gets a new beginning… This would help me in my journey to accomplish that!!
Carrie Petit says
June 18, 2015 at 12:13 pmIt’s going on my wish list! But I am as equally impressed with your genius sawhorse set up!! Love it all!
Cindy says
June 18, 2015 at 11:45 amUm, how would I NOT use this Homeright Spray Shelter?! Lamps, chairs, tables… Love it.
terry hayes says
June 18, 2015 at 8:58 amIt would be great to win this. My son and his wife are expecting their first baby ( my first grandchild!!!!) and there are so many projects I could use this for. Painting her bed, painting her dresser, bedroom, toys, baby shower decorations,…. So many thing!
Cassie says
June 18, 2015 at 7:42 amWould love to have this!
Donna in SC says
June 18, 2015 at 7:19 amFINALLY ! A portable paint booth that is manageable for everyone. Love the idea it is so compact to store also! I NEED this! Thanks for the chance to win one!
Beth Vermeulen says
June 18, 2015 at 5:32 amwhat a great idea! Not only will it help with containing overspray, but with assist with protecting painted piece from falling leaves, etc…
I want to try these tools sooo badly!
Kelly says
June 18, 2015 at 3:15 amWe have a pole barn but this spray shelter would be great to spray in instead so that I would be subjected to less fumes!
Kelly says
June 18, 2015 at 3:05 amI have been collecting an assortment of free or super cheap furniture that needs to be fixed up and this sprayer and tent would be perfect for the job. I have a set of old farmhouse chairs, two dressers, a shelf, and cabinet that need painting and if I could spray them instead of painting by hand that would be amazing!
Kathy Axton says
June 18, 2015 at 2:41 amI would love to have something like this!
MARTHAIA says
June 18, 2015 at 12:52 amI can see a lot of frames & desks and lamps getting painted by this !!! TY
MARTHAIA says
June 18, 2015 at 12:50 amI would use the garden hose for easy clean up…
Carrie says
June 18, 2015 at 12:00 amI would like to be considered for the spray tent bc I live in one of THE windiest areas of the country – Ellensburg, WA. I need to spray about 20 tables, chairs, etc. and this would be an so helpful. When I have sprayed in the past, there was yellow paint all over everything except the chair. Ugh. Thanks for the contest.
Lynn says
June 17, 2015 at 11:59 pmHow PERFECT is this?!? Using a shelter would certainly save a lot of time spent on touch-ups and clean-ups because it would help keep the paint where it’s supposed to be… on my projects!
Ruth Anderson says
June 17, 2015 at 11:46 pmThis looks like a great product!!I
Robin @ Redo It Yourself Inspirations says
June 17, 2015 at 11:35 pmI would use this for anything that would fit in it to paint away! Great for a breeze break outdoors. Really awesome for in the workshop to protect surroundings.
Sandi Allen says
June 17, 2015 at 10:43 pmI would so Love to win this shelter. I would use it for the garage gull of furniture that’s waiting to be painted.
Sandi Allen says
June 17, 2015 at 10:38 pmI would use this on a lot of things, chairs, end tables, picture frames.
Sandi Allen says
June 17, 2015 at 10:36 pmI would use the garden hose to clean it.
Lisa Marie says
June 17, 2015 at 10:05 pmI live in the world’s largest temperate rainforest in Juneau Alaska…it can go from calm to breezy and sunny to drizzle in a matter of minutes…i would use this every time is do a project! My husband says I’ll paint anything that sits still…so he keeps moving!
barb says
June 17, 2015 at 9:24 pmI would clean the spray containers in my utility sink after the garden hose.
Leona Gibbs says
June 17, 2015 at 8:44 pmI am currently painting my outdoor furniture (all of it quite elderly) and since I live on top of a hill in a river canyon painting is difficult to say the least. I either get up early when it is still calm but might be too humid or late in the evening when the wind dies down. Neither of those options work very well and this tent is a great idea.
Patricia says
June 17, 2015 at 8:17 pmSUPER COOL IDEA! Home right has thought of everything– To bad my camper wouldn’t fit in there, we could paint that! We’ll have to rig something up.
If I had one– I could paint my lawn, deck and pool furniture! Right now grass blows onto anything I paint outside!
Pretty blue grey on the table. Are you going to stencil something sweet on there?
doreen @ Altered Artworks says
June 17, 2015 at 4:54 pmHow great is this?! i have several projects waiting for a shelter like this. It’s getting hot here, so this would be ideal to use in the shade early in the morning, before the sun heats up the backyard.
Peggy Morris says
June 17, 2015 at 4:44 pmThis would help me tremendously with painting furniture! Would LOVE to win!
Linda Rolen says
June 17, 2015 at 4:34 pmI would love to have all three of these items. I love to spray paint but cans of paint get expensive, especially for big pieces. The tent would be so helpful. Like you said the garage is dark and the yard is just messy. I have 5-10 things waiting to be painted right now. There is always something!
Nadine Gurto says
June 17, 2015 at 4:31 pmThis nifty tool would make my husband happy! I would quit painting in the garage and ‘coloring’ his tools…lol. I have a garage wall of many colors.
Abigail says
June 17, 2015 at 3:34 pmId use the tent when painting furniture
Marta says
June 17, 2015 at 3:24 pmI have a ton of projects I have been picking up. I should clear my projects out by spraying them. Mirrors, tables, and a bookshelf.
Kathy N says
June 17, 2015 at 3:24 pmI would love to have this spray tent 🙂 I am re-doing my upstairs bedroom for my two beautiful grand Daughters and I am turning it into a room built for little princesses ! I am painting all the furniture antique white and I could really really use these items!
Kaye Newman says
June 17, 2015 at 3:15 pmI would use the Homeright Spray Shelter when I am spray panting furniture outside. It would really help with the over-spray.
Kaye Newman says
June 17, 2015 at 3:12 pmI would clean my Finish Max with my garden hose.
Kelly W. says
June 17, 2015 at 3:06 pmI would love to use this to spray my dining room chairs!
Linda Rolen says
June 17, 2015 at 3:01 pmI love to spray paint but cans of paint get expensive. Also, when I paint I have to either do it in the garage or in the back yard on a drop cloth. I have probably 5-10 pieces waiting to be painted. A drop leaf table and wooden boxes and a kitchen cart.
Terrie says
June 17, 2015 at 2:33 pmOh, do I have a list of things that need painting. A friend gave me two wooden benches that need paint desperately. I found 2 chairs by the street last weekend and asked the owner if I could have them. Sure, he said. They are chairs to a bar height table and the nuts for the bolts that hold everything together came off. I want to paint them and put them in the garden. I seem to find a new thing a ma bob every other day that a little love and paint and it would look great. I have coveted a finish max for quite some time. Everytime I get close to having the money saved up, life intervenes and the money goes elsewhere.
Anthony Linhardt says
June 17, 2015 at 2:05 pmThis is really a cool. Could definitely use this.
Dee says
June 17, 2015 at 1:47 pmWhat a fabulous idea, a shelter to protect your project and spray painting. I usually do mine in the back yard, but would love to have something to protect from over spray. Thanks for a chance to win this.
Karen J says
June 17, 2015 at 1:44 pmI sure could use this now. Spraying my outside tables and stands. Would find a ton of sues for it. Hubby is always painting something.
Kimberly M. says
June 17, 2015 at 1:39 pmI have shelves that I would use in this to spray, I also have a crib I just bought at a yard sale for my new grandbaby that I would use this to spray and as soon as we find out the sex make it the color the mommy and my son want it.
Kimberly M. says
June 17, 2015 at 1:36 pmI absolutely love DIY and my favorite part is painting things and making them look entirely different. This is something I could use for all my upcycling, repurposing, and just the fun things I like to do with things I find at yard sales, flea markets, etc.
Sara Zantow says
June 17, 2015 at 1:26 pmI would use this for painting projects for upcoming craft shows! The hubby gets a little mad when I paint outside and live paint rings on the grass. Oops! This would be handy.
Sara Zantow says
June 17, 2015 at 1:22 pmThis would be perfect. I just participated in my first craft show and I know have a ton of color circles in my grass from painting outside. I also had to repaint a number of things because of unexpected rain showers. I absolutely love this!!
Karine Osborne says
June 17, 2015 at 12:42 pmI used a sprayer to stain two outdoor tables in my driveway. I used a drop cloth but the overspray covered part of the driveway. It rained later and it made the driveway slippery. My dogs kept running across the driveway and slipping. I need the spray shelter so I don’t cause harm to my dogs, lol.
Joyce T. says
June 17, 2015 at 12:17 pmI have a small chair I found by the side of the road (in 3 pieces). I took a shop class at the Vo Tech and repaired it as a class project. I would love to paint it now.
Paula Bock says
June 17, 2015 at 12:07 pmLooks like a great product!

June 17, 2015 at 11:55 amLove your projects. I’d like to be your apprentice. So much you could teach. How/where did you learn to do all the things that you do?

June 17, 2015 at 12:43 pmChristina,
I’m self-taught. When I have a particular problem or question, I’ll search for a youtube video. Whenever I’m helping someone else do some DIY I watch them like a hawk to pick up new tips and tricks.
I guess I’ve mostly just learned by doing, and trying new things.

June 17, 2015 at 11:53 amOMG!!! I JUST a bought a used Homeright sprayer, I have been waiting forever To be able to afford one! I have projects up the wazoo that I have been collecting and I can’t wait to get started! I would LOVE to have one of these tents to protect the house, cars, and kids outdoor toys from stray paint drops! Yay for making creativity easier! Way to go Homeright!

June 17, 2015 at 11:49 amThe Spray Shelter is a great idea. Keep that pesky overspray off surrounding items.
Joye says
June 17, 2015 at 11:38 amThat tent looks perfect for spray painting. I have had to spray paint on the ground or in a small tool shed, so the tent looks like it would make painting so much more convenient and comfortable. Thanks for the chance to win these cool prizes.

June 17, 2015 at 11:25 amThis would be amazing. We just painted a corn hole set in our driveway and the cottonwood tree was in full bloom. Needless to say, we were picking cotton off of the paint. This would have solved all problems!
JJ Crouch says
June 17, 2015 at 11:22 amThis looks like a great accessory. What about the height of the shelter? Do you have to bend while using it?
gail@myrepurposedlife.com says
June 17, 2015 at 11:58 amThese are the specs I should have added to the blog post. 🙂
Depth: 72″ at bottom – 30″ at top
Width: 102″ at bottom – 92″ at top
Height: 66.5″
Janice McElhone says
June 17, 2015 at 11:16 amI would use this tent in my driveway to paint some dressers. Any tips on spraying the chalk paint? How much du you have to thin the paint?
Esther says
June 17, 2015 at 11:15 amI need this shelter because I do my spray painting on the driveway and if there is even the slightest breeze, my paint floats over and coats the Jasmine (or worse, the neighbor’s vegetable garden!).

June 17, 2015 at 10:20 amWow!! what a great giveaway. I would be able to put all of the products to good use.
Kraig Elliott says
June 17, 2015 at 10:20 amA year ago we sold all we have to live in a bus full-time. For a family of 9 that was ALL our furniture. Because of some major health issues and a few other unforeseen circumstances, we have had to start over in a home. With little money, I am trying to DIY everything for our home. This shelter and the Homerite sprayer would be wonderful to helping me to get these projects done. Since November with much time off for the Michigan winter, I have been able to build beds for everyone, get some beat up entertainment centers off Craigslist and from Salvation Army to repurpose into dressers, and some 1970s desks that need painting for my teens rooms for school. These would be a tremendous help!!
Pam Fisher says
June 17, 2015 at 10:09 ami have limited to no space to spray! I have the sprayer, now I need the shelter!
Traci Proffitt says
June 17, 2015 at 10:05 amHello! I am in my first house and have LOTS of projects for painting/repurposing. I do not have a garage, carport, or shed I can paint in. I haven’t started yet because I think my only recourse is the patio with a tarp under my projects. The issue with that is that weather is unpredictable and because my house is in the country there are a TON of insects that get in the paint. HELP! lol
girlfromwva says
June 17, 2015 at 9:54 ami would use it for painting a bistro chair my dad gave me. i would use the paint shelter because it would keep things off the items while i painted, help on days when it is windy/breezy, and because if i try to paint in the garage, the paint smell sometimes tries to get into the house. the shelter seems to be the perfect size. you could use a utility sink or a garden hose for Rapid Clean for Finish Max.
Stacie says
June 17, 2015 at 9:51 amThose would come in very handy!
Kay Rogers says
June 17, 2015 at 9:46 amI would love to have all of theses tools. I am just getting started with painting furniture and find that my space is limited. This would open a whole new world for me.
Karleen Mauldin says
June 17, 2015 at 9:35 amI do not have a ‘good’ place to paint! No garage, and our carport is dirt-floored, with a dirt driveway, so I worry about dust blowing. This would be perfect! I could put a tarp down for the ‘floor’ and then pop up the shelter!
Petra Aylesworth says
June 17, 2015 at 9:30 amI need this sprayshelter! I’m the handy woman in this house and do most of the reno’s myself, plus I’m an artist and like to
Build my own picture frames and glaze some of my paintings. Unfortunately we live in a very small house and have no garage either.
In this sprayshelter I could paint and stain my wood projects and could keep my kitchen table and deck as they were intended. =D
Denise Albright says
June 17, 2015 at 9:29 amLove the spray tent. Would use it daily!
Rachel Trotter says
June 17, 2015 at 9:23 amBecause I am in a suburban neighborhood, I am very limited on my outdoor space. This would allow me the ability to paint in a confined area and not worry about overspray.
Donna Boschert says
June 17, 2015 at 9:07 amWould love to have this shelter to paint with on my projects! So far I have had to hand paint all of them and would love to try spraying them instead.
Terrie Griggs says
June 17, 2015 at 9:05 amThis would keep the sun and wind off of my projects allowing them to dry slower and keep debris off and protect projects from unexpected light showers. Please pick me
DEBRA THOMPSON says
June 17, 2015 at 8:53 amI would use for EVERYTHING!. I spray paint ALOT!. I just painted an old vanity. Did it by hand. would love to have had the shelter and sprayer for my next project which is a bed. I have to paint in my garage which is just horrific. You can still smell the paint in the house.
Kathy Groah says
June 17, 2015 at 8:39 amI would give my right arm, my painting one!, to have a spray shelter and a Finish Max. why? I live in a condo!
Danielle K. says
June 17, 2015 at 8:37 amI love this! My daughter and I have several projects to do this summer involving painting. This would be faster, and neater and that would make my son-in-law very happy.
Karen Clark says
June 17, 2015 at 8:36 amthis would be great for me!! I spray piece all the time including frames, branches, vases, tables, chairs etc! I would love this!
Sandra Elboubkri says
June 17, 2015 at 8:29 amI need the shelter because right now I am using my basement and I would love to spray outside without the stay ending up on all my flowers.
kathy witmer says
June 17, 2015 at 8:23 amI have several small projects to paint and it always seems like the wind is blowing or a small rain storm moves in. This would be awesome…
Lin says
June 17, 2015 at 8:21 amThe spray shelter would provide a wonderful place to paint while keeping leaf and other debris off of my projects. I live in a woodlands and it’s difficult to keep stuff off fresh paint.
Cher @ Designs by Studio C says
June 17, 2015 at 8:18 amThat is a really nifty idea, Gail! I would love to have one because I live in the country, work outside, and the birds are always critiquing my work. Darn birds!
Bev says
June 17, 2015 at 8:18 amLooks wonderful, & my end tables really need an update….this would be perfect.
Sheryl says
June 17, 2015 at 8:13 amI have so many small tables I need to redo and it would be great to be able to do them without worrying about paint spray blowing toward the house or the cars
Nickie Culver says
June 17, 2015 at 8:09 amI’m so excited to try this shelter! I live on an Army post in housing so I have to be really careful about where I paint. In Southern Alabama it is brutal to paint in the garage so this would be perfect
Colisia Huff says
June 17, 2015 at 7:54 amI SOOO need these!! I’m always painting in the garage( with a roller no less) and this would be SOOO much better….. Thanks for the chance to win!!
Jill Nelson says
June 17, 2015 at 7:40 amThis shelter is the perfect idea. I rent and have to be extremely careful where paint ends up! Even outside, I have to ensure paint doesn’t blow in the wind towards anything!!
Susan Dingman says
June 17, 2015 at 7:06 amI just painted that exact same coffee table! Of course I did it with a paint brush. But I would love to be able to paint the shutters my husband is building with the sprayer!
Christina says
June 17, 2015 at 6:48 amGail, I thank you for the hints and tips on the Spray Paint Shelter by Homeright. I don’t camp so I would have the same questions. 🙂 Thanks also for such a magnificent giveaway opportunity. Lots to paint around here. 🙂 I’d love to give an outdoor standing clock a patina makeover. Lots of nooks and crannies which would be easy work for the Finish Max. Happy creating!
Lisa W. says
June 17, 2015 at 5:10 amI would use this often. We have a huge garage would hold 2 semi’s. BUT, it is so full that I don’t have much room to paint. This would certainly do the trick. Thanks for the chance.
