FAQs

How much privacy does this windbreak offer?

The windbreak offers significant privacy, especially with its 140cm height. While the PVC panels provide visibility, they create a clear boundary, deterring casual glances into your area.

Is the windbreak fully waterproof?

The polyester material has a 600mm hydrostatic head rating, which means it offers good water resistance for light rain and showers. It's not designed for heavy downpours, but will keep your area drier during typical camping weather.

Can I use this windbreak on hardstanding pitches?

For hardstanding pitches, you'll need specialized hard ground pegs (not included) as the standard pegs may not penetrate. If you can't peg, consider using sandbags or heavy weights on the base and anchor the guy lines to secure objects where possible.

What are the packed dimensions and weight?

The total weight is 3.9kg. Info needed: [packed dimensions]. However, it includes a carry bag and is designed for portability, so it packs down efficiently for travel and storage.

Are the PVC panels durable?

Yes, the large PVC panels are designed to be robust for outdoor use. However, like all clear plastics, they can be scratched or creased if not handled with care during setup, takedown, and storage. Avoid abrasive cleaners and sharp objects.

Can I buy extra panels or poles?

The Maypole 5 Panel Windbreak is sold as a complete unit. Individual replacement panels or poles are not typically offered separately by the manufacturer. Please check with Maypole customer service for any specific spare part inquiries.

How long does it take to set up?

Setup time can vary depending on experience and ground conditions. Typically, it takes one person about 10-15 minutes to fully erect and secure the windbreak with all pegs and guy lines. Attaching to a caravan awning rail might add a few minutes.

Troubleshooting

Windbreak feels unstable in breezy conditions.

Ensure all 6 steel poles are fully extended and firmly inserted. Double-check that all base and midway pegging points are securely driven into the ground. Crucially, deploy and properly tension all guy ropes; they significantly enhance stability against wind.

Difficulty attaching to a caravan awning rail.

Confirm the `Kadar strips` are clean and free of debris. Gently feed one end of the `Kadar strip` into the awning rail and pull it through evenly. If stiff, a small amount of silicone spray can help, but ensure it doesn't leave a residue.

Pets are getting under or through the windbreak.

Utilize the midway pegging points on each panel. Ensure these are securely pegged into the ground, reducing any gaps at the bottom. Consider placing additional weighted items or extra pegs if the ground is uneven, and always supervise pets.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent stability due to strong steel poles and `Kadar strips`.
  • Good visibility and light thanks to the large PVC panels.
  • Effective wind and privacy protection.
  • Pet-friendly design with midway pegging points.
  • Provides `UPF 50+` UV protection and 600mm hydrostatic head water resistance.

Cons

  • The total length of 800cm might be extensive for smaller camping pitches or limited spaces.
  • Requires proper pegging and guying for maximum stability, especially in high winds.
  • Steel poles contribute to the overall weight of 3.9kg, which might be heavier than aluminum alternatives for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack: Remove the windbreak, poles, guys, and pegs from the carry bag.
  2. Position: Lay the windbreak flat on the ground in your desired location.
  3. Assemble Poles: Insert the steel poles into the sleeves along the windbreak's length.
  4. Erect: Carefully lift the windbreak, spacing out the panels.
  5. Pegging: Secure the base of each panel and the midway pegging points firmly into the ground using the supplied pegs.
  6. Guying: Attach and tension the guy ropes to the top of the poles, pegging them securely into the ground for maximum stability, especially in windy conditions.
  7. Caravan Attachment (Optional): If using with a caravan, slide the `Kadar strips` on either end of the windbreak into your caravan's awning rail before fully pegging and guying.

Compatibility

Designed for use with caravans (via `Kadar strips`) and as a freestanding windbreak for camping pitches, beaches, or garden use.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: Wipe down PVC panels and polyester material with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Ensure the windbreak is completely dry before packing away to prevent mold or mildew.
  • Storage: Store in its carry bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check poles, pegs, and guy ropes for damage or wear. Replace any damaged components immediately.
