Cover is only an issue if it is raining or snowing. I'm sure I can find a golf
umbrella or something, but it is no fun for the folks attending.

If the weather looks bad, maybe I can pick up a tarp and some PVC pipe, and
rig some kind of shelter off one of the walls.

Frankly, I'm more worried about the quality of the electrical current. It is
the biggest variable in popcorn popper roasting. I can use a cardboard box to
shield from the wind.
