Can anybody tell me whether those beach type windbreaks with steel ends to the poles will knock into a hardstanding pitch?

I'm sure i've seen these type of windbreaks up on pitches with hardstandings but can't be sure.

I'd like to have some kind of windbreak arrangement at the door of our motorhome so that the dog has a small, contained, outside area to walk around.

Trouble is, most of the pitches we've been on are hardstanding so i wondered if i'm going to be able to find a windbreak that will go into them.

Many thanks

Last time we were on a hard standing we put the windbreak on the grassy bit - theres no way we could knock one into hardstanding and if we did would we get it out?

One solution if you have space, is to buy some of the weighted feet that you use to hold down garden gazeebos.  You fill them with water so they are lightweight to carry (although a bit on the bulky side).  put the poles down into them and it should hold up your windbreak.  Only thing is, you may have to make holes through the fabric depending on what style weight you get.  Mine come in two halves and have to be screwed together, so the 'bolt' would need to go through the fabric.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks for your ideas.

I think the idea of the weighted supports seems the most logical.

Sara we followed your motorhome quest from the outset - glad to hear you are really enjoying it
