We have never used a windbreak, but it was a bit breezy sitting outside to eat at Easter and I think we would find one very useful.  And for privacy on a busier site.  BUT, money is a bit tight (otherwise I'd have the outwell polycotton to go with the Bear) so I have just found this from Asda.  Has anyone any experience of this or Yellowstone stuff generally.  I'm wondering about getting 2 to make an enclosed space, but will the material just be thin noisy and useless?  I hope not.

Any advice appreciated.

The old fashioned ones that you bash into the ground are much sturdier and stay put in the wind better.

I have both types and love my funky flowery windbreaks:

Blue Diamond are considered to be one of the best, but they are expensive. They do a lovely green stripey one!!

Bought Outwell to replace one of my cheap stripey ones, came back from camping and bought another cheap stripey one, gave the Outwell one to my dad to protect his plants from the wind LOL.

In the case of windbreaks it seems cheap is better.
