Ours keeps the dogs contained, doesn't flap in the wind and definitely will not blow away even in gale force winds.

Ditto iank01.
I bought mine from leisure windbreaks. Paid more than for the awning, but well worth it for peace of mind. I am a new solo caravanner and need to make sure that my dogs don't cause a nuisance to anyone.

We use them sometimes, usually to stop the ignorant t*ssers using our pitch as a short cut and saving themselves four extra steps.

a wonderful idea!!  Only the Brits have them.



I don't think that's true at all. Johnny foreigner tends to use beach umbrellas and beach tents more but certainly beach windbreaks can be found abroad.

It's not just the Brits that have discovered this brilliant invention.


and the Brit is behind the break not the locals

If I pay the pitch fee I will choose how many windbreaks I erect. They do not flap around any more than tents & awnings. I have seen tents and awnings blowing across sites. Never windbreaks.

If you don't like my windbreak array I don't care.
