Sunncamp 8 Pole Windbreak

Product Information

Putting something up with lots of poles in the wind is not straightforward. How light does it need to be? To assemble the windbreak, all you need to do is set it up using the three poles, guy ropes and pegs. This is an incredibly easy process, so if you find yourself having to move and disassemble the windbreak for any reason, this shouldn’t prove to be too much of a hassle. Almost all camping windbreaks require guy ropes, which should come with the windbreak. Beach windbreaks tend not to use them, as they’re not designed to provide shelter from any severe weather.
