morrisons (well the one local to me anyway) are flogging windbreaks/fishing/beach shelter things for £2.75 down from a tenner. Seems to be ok quality wise and for a couple of quid its not a lot to lose if it turns out to be useless

Ooohhhh flaming fingers on auto-pilot again!!! Merest mention of anything remotely bargin orientated and they're off!

Mind you.....we actually do need two new windbreaks coz hubby dispatched our old ones to the bins before coming home from Cornwall this year as they'd definitely seen better days, (and nights). Promising to get us some new ones before next year.

Now all I've gotta do.....is find a bl**dy Morrisons!!!!

Morrisons webpage coming next.....

I am fed up to the back teeth with those darn wooden poles splitting and that oh so standard plastic sheeting, so my project this winter is to make my own windbreaks (2) I am going to use a a medium strength fabric and may even look at oil cloth, and OH is going to make poles from aluminium.  I will let you know how I get on, wish me luck!

hi all we found a good way to stop the poles   spliting is to buy ,(you know the rubber  walking stick bottoms that stops the walking stick from slipping) you can buy them from markets or any D I Y. shop we found them great. also you can make the poles from any old awning poles made to fit.

what we do is save the metal caps from whiskey , brandy bottles and place them over the poles before we hammer at them can be used loads of times

Hi Julie,

Why am I not surprised that you have spare metal caps from the acholfolic type bottles.


Hope you enjoyed the contents, possibly made plenty of sludge!

dont you use a rubber mallet? anyway besides botle caps you could use copper pipe end caps around the tops glued on with bostick.

ps them shelters are useless they dont protect your from the sun at that price.
