Hi Mully, have not got a picture with both windbreaks up, but find a picture with a single one up

We have now gone along the day tent root and have ordered a Oklahoma from Gary

Used the Outwell Windbreak in all weathers - if its put up correctly it doesnt budge - see my gallery for pics.

I found that if you set it up in a straight line and alternate the centre support guy's it works OK. If you try and make a fancy L shape the wind can tend to force it over and damage the support poles.

I bought an extra set of guy lines and use some spare pegs. I peg it out with 2 guy's on each pole - one each side and it seems to stay up ok!

Now I might have put mine up wrong, but at no point do I try and push the pin coming from the pole into the ground! That's not going to do anything!

At one end of the pole is a short "pin", I guessed this goes at the bottom (and hooks the little ring from the fabric over it).

The long pin end of the pole goes at the top. This gives me plenty of space to hook guys over it.

Hi

We originally had a cheap windbreak with wooden posts and after trying to hammer it into quite hard ground one od the posts snapped in half, so rather than buying another cheap one we invested in 2 outwell windbreaks, great for space saving in the car compared to wooden ones.

I can see peoples point regarding guy ropes being everywhere but that all depends on how you position them. We have used these in some high winds and have never had any problems.

Always Happy Campers!!

nwestwood - this was just the way the pitches worked out - there was no planning.

Maybe though..... It may be a good idea to take over a campsite with just Monty's - THE FULL MONTY!

Thanks Rickit

We still can't decide what to do though!  We saw some stripey green ones with traditional wooden poles that another member recommended so we're umming and aahing between them and the Outwell.  It'll probably be next year before we decide!

Hi

Yes we have an Outwell Windbreak and they are the worst thing we have bought in 12 years of camping. Back to our multi coloured Blackpool windbreaks for us.

Just come back from a windy Friday pitching of our tent, first time out for the windbreak!  Not a move, fuss or flap from the thing..........worked perfectly.  As suggested in the thread, set up in a L shape and guyed sticky out point of the L....(hope that makes sense) and worked perfectly!!!

Thinking of getting another now (they are £20 in Blacks at the mo) to have a little corral thingy going!!
