Hi, so I’ve been reluctant to buy a windbreak as I’m not to sure I would use it but today I was in Lidl and saw one for £14.99 and a decent size, 5m x 1.4m so I bit the bullet. Also very compact when not in use so won’t take up too much valuable storage space. I was supprised that you don’t knock the poles into the ground (is that only beach windbreaks from the 70s and 80s) but was very easy to fit by myself even though the instructions say it’s a 2 person job. Only tricky bit was working out how to use the guy ropes but 1 YouTube video sorted that out. A couple of pics of it erected in the garden.
