I have the euro hike one ( Similar green to Outwell and £10 cheaper) I didn't have a problem with it. It stayed up for me. It was quite windy too. My friend has an outwell one amnd heres stayed up in stronger winds than mine. it was fine. As long as you guy up each end at about 45 degrees it will stay up.

We've had two posh Dutch windbreaks for ages.  They have windows in them so you can see what's happening over there or see who's coming to ask you where you bought them.  We bought them at the York Motorcaravan show and saw them there again this year but I can't remember who sells them.  Might be Foxwell Products.

I admit that it took many attempts over a period of time to get them up correctly with the many guy ropes, but once you've got the knack they are brilliant and easy to erect.  You don't have to bash the poles into the ground so you don't have to take a solid metal and very heavy pole to make the necessary holes in hard ground.

Highly recommended, but you need to practise erecting them.

Try Yeomans or Outdoor Megastore - and they are good
