The shelters had to meet the design brief: to be able to shelter a family of 4 Playmobile figures comfortably, keeping them safe from wind (a 30 second blast from a hair dryer) and rain (having 100ml of water poured over them). They also had to have a strong enough structure to support a 500g weight being placed on top of them. We are pleased to say that the majority of our shelters passed all these tests.
