    Yes, and I would think that you could even use them on Non-Awning Pitches.

    Providing you maintain a 3metre gap between your windbreak and next door's car, or awning, there shouldn't be a problem but some wardens might disagree.

    The thing that I find a bit strange is that on this forum you often hear people complaining about the use of flags, yet I don't find them annoying, however- I do quite often think that some members go OTT about their use of windbreaks. Quite often they are garish and look very much out of place.

    Oh well, - each to his own I suppose, life is too short to bother about such trivialities!

    When I read the title I thought this thread was about something entirely different

    There's some quite posh one's around now and some even look like a part of the awning, and I can see where they can come in handy if you have a toddler that you dont want to "escape" so to speak..

    I often use a windbreak with the Fiamma porch at this time of year - much easier and airier.

    Ours looks like a dry stone wall, not at all garish �

    We've been looking for a windbreak but are wary about the space they take up.  As anyone bought one from OLPRO? https://olproshop.com/ ?  I know they do the stone wall and hedge one that someone has put above but did you buy the wooden poled ones or the steel 'compact' ones?

    We have a campervan so space is vital and just looking to find out which of these are best as love the look of them. They also do inflatable ones.
