Our neighbours (on site) have one of these and we’re really impressed. It doesn’t seem to be moving at all. It’s windy here. As they are quite expensive, I thought I would ask on here for any feedback before buying.
We don’t have one, but a neighbour used one to contain their wee dogs into a “courtyard”.
We’re not tempted, but only because it’s very bulky & we can’t spare that volume in our small MH.
We had one for a couple of months before selling it on. It is very bulky and difficult to expel the air. Even worse if it has been raining. Save your money and look for something more conventional like the Jormax system. Our Jormax looked as good as new 15 years later when we sold it.
I think it's much the same 'Pros and Cons' argument as with airbeam tents and awnings, whatever you gain one way, you lose another!
With my volunteering work with a dog rescue charity, and our annual camping rally that I organise, from my experience where a lot of folks build 'dog gardens' to contain their dogs to their pitch, the better quality pole and guy rope windbreaks are favoured. Only know of one attendee who has an airbeam windbreak, it seems OK, but then so do all the other conventional poled windbreaks!
I've got an airbeam caravan awning, yes it's bulky, it's heavy, and it takes some effort to de-inflate sufficiently to repack - it is what it is, you've traded the lightness and handleability of a conventional awning for speed and ease of erection! No rights or wrongs as such, just different.
Arguably, anything 'Airbeam' has an advantage in wind, as it has the capacity to flex without permanent damage, my awning has taken a hell of a beating a few times, sufficiently bad conditions to destroy poles of poled tents and flatten cheap windbreaks by snapping poles!
If I had to judge against anything airbeam, it's the comparative bulk and weight that is the biggest 'Con', otherwise if you can live with that, pretty good - assuming of course that individual airbeams are/can be isolated from each other, so that one punctured beam doesn't render it totally unusable!
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
