Plenty of helpful YouTube videos. I watched one which was in real time, put up by one person and yes they have guy ropes as well as being pegged at the base.
We have a poled windbreak. It takes two of us to put it up because it’s not semi-rigid or self supporting until it’s guyed out. Maybe that’s why we only use it when we need to define our pitch on cramped or very busy sites.

Oh I understand now. Sorry. You mean the windbreaks which have rigid frames and metal support struts instead of guy ropes. They seem to be popular with folk who need to create a complete enclosure, maybe for several dogs at agility shows or for very young children.
I’m sure someone with this type of enclosure will know the answer to your question. I can only say it will be more expensive & probably more bulky than a windbreak with rope guys.

Kampa Windbreak support poles are specific to that type of wind break ie Kampa Dometic Pro Windbreak 3 or 5 Panel.

Hi

I have the kampa pro windbreaker, two 3 panel and one 5 panel that I connect with a door panel. I am very happy with them all.

Recently returned from 2 weeks in Cornwall where they withstood 30-40mph winds.

I was thinking of changing to the Kampa air pro model as the poled version are a little fiddly to erect and are rather heavy if you have the early model steel poles. Once up they are very sturdy. I will sticking with them for now.

I am also confused now. Like Bobmel states.

If your windbreak isn't the kampa pro model I don't think you can purchase the support poles to fit a kampa windbreak that is supplied with guy ropes to adapt/alter it. The pro model also has cross member poles to make it more rigid and stable as well as the upright/leg supports. That's the design.

Hope that makes sense
