Product Information

Whether for outdoor equipment, DIY tools, or even extra bits and bobs from the house, a shed is a great way of storing items both big and small neatly away.

In this article, we'll discuss all the key considerations such as height, number of poles, materials, and added extras to make sure you choose the most durable, weather-resistant and lightweight product. Windbreaks come in a wide range of sizes, usually indicated by the number of poles used to erect them. It is one of the most expensive options on our list, so if you're looking for a low-budget option for occasional use, there are better choices on the market. Small enough to fit in the pocket of your rucksack, it’s still tall enough to shield a medium-height gas stove and is a lifesaver in strong winds.The three-panel screen (in brilliantly retro red, white and blue stripes) is good for gentle gusts, a little bit of privacy around your site, or a bit of extra protection for your camp kitchen. From there, we'll showcase our pick of the brightest rechargeable and battery-powered options on the market from brands like Olight, Petzl and Coleman. If you need a product that will cater to a larger group or even provide some extra privacy at the beach or campsite, you can size up your windbreak to as large as 10 poles, which will equate to 9 sections of coverage.

We've compared the ingredients, nutrients and drainage capacity from popular brands such as Miracle-Gro, Canna Terra and Westland.

The three tall panels – with a strip of mesh window on each – are really easy to mould to your site, allowing you to create a horseshoe shape or a long fence, depending on your needs and the weather. Although this windbreak spans 4 metres in length, it features just 3 poles, making it easy to set up and move around if necessary. The smallest screen we tested was the size of a gas stove, which was just the job if you’re struggling to get the kettle going in strong winds. With over 50 years of experience in camping and outdoors products, Berghaus are one of the most instantly recognisable brands in the UK.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. It’s much tougher and more durable than the foil shields many stoves come with, and it weighs less than 2kg. The dark blue plastic is vibrant but not too garish, with a transparent panel along the middle to provide extra natural light.It’s incredibly easy to set up thanks to the air poles (you’ll need a pump for these), although – at 8m long – it’s a two-person job. If you are hoping for a traditional vintage look, wood will be your immediate preference, but it tends to be heavier and less durable than metal poles. However, deciding on the right one can be difficult, especially if you have babies or kids in the family. During lockdown, it became more important than ever to have a pleasant outdoor space to spend our time in.

It comes in a range of sizes, with options from 4 poles all the way up to 10, so they're sure to have a size to suit your needs. You'll get the classic windbreak look with the wooden poles, but the plastic tarp material keeps the overall weight down substantially. The windbreak also features a PVC window that allows extra light and visibility while still protecting your privacy. The kind of windbreak or windscreen you need depends on your camping set-up: for large scale family camping, with multiple tents, cars or caravans, and where you know you’ll stay on one pitch for a while, it’s worth investing in one of the larger, pricier options. If nothing else, it's been an ideal time for home improvements, and what better addition to your garden than a swing seat?If the style is important to you, this5-pole windbreak from Hi-Gear is the perfect balance between striking and understated. Most bike helmets for kids are decked out with colourful, eye-catching designs too, which will make your little one visible to others. These are robust, dependable and portable; unless you expect to take them anywhere really adventurous, don’t worry about specs like hydrostatic head or denier. Nothing ruins a glorious day out quite like the crazy itch of insect bites, plus, more than just an annoyance, biting bugs can also carry diseases.
