Ok wind break not as sturdy as I would like but good enough for the price

As someone who is used to the old wooden wind breaks these are very flimsy and it is a learning curve to use these. The biggest advantage is how small the bag is. This 3 panel unit has 4 collapsing poles and lots of guide ropes. Unlike the old style these rely on the guide ropes as it’s impossible to hammer the poles into the ground, I wish they came with pegs that connect to the poles to strengthen them.I found that it took a little while to get it installed tight and all the guide ropes installed and fastened down. Once it’s up I would say it’s more of a privacy screen than a wind break, when it’s really windy it still flaps a lot and would need re pegging.The advantage is how small it folds down rather than its ability to deflect wind. For short breaks in a car it’s ideal.

DO NOT BUY! I tried to put this up in sun shine and no wind, and it was useless. I forgot the golden rule; you buy cheap, you get cheap. The 'spikes' are useless and the guy ropes do not hold it up. The sun break material is terrible and it really is rubbish. I've spent more to get a better product. Don't waste your money. I would give it zero stars

I erected this windbreak in my garden to test it during the autumn. For anyone accustomed to modern tents with elasticated poles, it's a breeze to set up. The poles need to be anchored in the ground, which was fine in the soft autumn turf but may pose more of a challenge on a sun-baked campsite.The supplied pegs are absolutely useless. While they worked okay in the soft autumn ground, they are cheap and flimsy and won't be suitable for harder ground. I would recommend replacing them with good-quality pegs. I doubt the supplied pegs would be suitable for soft sand either, so I would suggest purchasing bespoke sand pegs if you intend to use this on a sandy beach. I don't think you could easily use this windbreak on a pebble beach.The windbreak itself is made of thin nylon with clear panels. I can't vouch for its durability yet, but tents made of similar material can often withstand more than you might expect.The key benefit of this style of windbreak is how light and compact it is when packed down. With three-part poles and the thin, light fabric, it is much more portable than a traditional windbreak.Priced at around £30, I do feel this is slightly overpriced, considering you could buy an entire two-man tent for the same money.
