A temporary shelter for use with an existing frame structure is provided. The temporary shelter has a flexible sheet having a pair of parallel slits. The flexible sheet encloses the frame structure to define an inner shelter space. A pair of zipper structures are provided. Each zipper structure has a separable zipper chain composed of two interlocking halves having fastening elements attached to flexible tapes. The fastening elements are interlocked and separated by a slider. The slider is operatively connected to the interlocking halves. Each flexible tape has an adhesive strip located on a back portion of the flexible tape and extends along side and parallel to the fastening elements. The adhesive strips of the zipper structures are attached to an outside surface of the flexible sheet so that the zipper structures are in a parallel spaced apart upright relationship from one another with each zipper chain being adjacent and parallel to one of the slits to provide a closeable opening in the flexible sheet for allowing access into the inner shelter space.
