If you can get this link, this is my home made windbreak, made from broom handles which were varnished in yacht varnish, added ferrules (for walking sticks) to the ends of poles to protect them, fabric to match my tent, which was then water proofed, also made a spotty/gingham one for the beach, but unfortunately didn't get a picture of that one

My advice is worth no more than the price paid for it

Thanks surfspud you are a star![IMG]forum_images/smiley32.gif[/IMG

CampingCaz I bought the material off ebay - was rather thin so lined it with normal curtain lining and then washed it with waterproofing stuff (Material was originally from Skopos Mill)

Surfin - the tarp is a quecha (or however you spell it) from Decathlon it was £24.99 if I could get the link things to work would do it for you, but obviously doing something wrong!

No problem Helen.

All you needed to do was right click the picture and select Copy Image URL. Then click on the picture icon in the reply box (Square one with mountains) and then right click and paste.

For links, Right click on the web address and copy, then click on the Link icon in the reply box (Square one with world and chain link) and in the box write whatever you want to come up such as 'Link' or 'Click here', Then click OK and in the next box right click and add the link of the webpage you want to link to.

Hope that made some sense.
