Camping Windbreak Buying Guide

What are the different types of camping windbreaks?

When imagining windbreaks, it’s hard not to nostaligically think of the multicoloured rainbow tarp that was a fixture on most British beaches throughout 80s & 90s.

These days, you’ll find a range of different sizes, colours, fabrics & more but the main difference in choice lies in if it is poled or air beam.

  • Poled- Uses strut poles & guy lines to be pitched into the ground.
  • Air Beam- Similar to awnings, these use pre-angled beams to allow additional stability on the pitch for any windbreak needs.

Camperco Top Tips

  1. Consider using a few shorter windbreaks if you want to create a large encampment.
  2. Don’t plan for more space than you have. Make sure to pick a windbreak in the parameters you need it.
  3. The larger the windbreak the more guylines, make sure to that factor in.
  4. Choose easy to transport windbreaks if you are bringing this to the beach or carrying this long distances. The air beam versions are lightweight and simple to pitch, so will save you time and energy if you want to take this with you to picnic.
  5. Make sure to get a strong fabric that won’t rustle in the wind and will protect from the elements. Vango windbreaks have a patented sentinel fabric designed for longevity and strength.
