Could anybody tell me whether those beach type windbreaks with the steel pole tips will go into a hardstanding pitch?

I would like to use a windbreak for a small outside enclosure so that the dog can go in and out of the van - trouble is i can't imagine it going into the hardstanding.

I'm sure i've seen them though on sites.

Many thanks

it would depend on the type of surface that the 'hard standing' pitch is made from. Some have the criss cross concrete with grass in between, but some are just tarmac etc. You will need to know this before you can scertain whether or not you can use your windbreak. If all else fails you could use some of those sand filled bases that they use for holding up parasols etc. But that would be a bit of a pin to transport them....

Hi- I dont think they would on most hardstandings as usualy the gravel top surface is laid on top of compacted hardcore, rock pegs for awnings, yes, but thick wooden poles, even with spikes on would probably damage them. My only suggestion is to take a builders cold chisel with you and with a lump hammer form a hole into the ground, and then tap in the windbreak poles, I am not to sure what the site owner might say though. Perhaps if you parked the van in such a way that it was on the standing but the windbreak was on the grass surround.   Kiev
