How to avoid the 'Wind Tunnel effect'
StopBreeze® screens are capable of blocking strong winds of up to 50mph when extended. And will safely stop 80mph winds when locked in their retracted position. Effectively delivering you a blissful micro-climate all year round.
Due to their versatility you can reconfigure the screens into a multitude of formations, from U or L shape, square or rectangular.
Most customers opt for a straight line formation, usually lining a patio or decking. This is a great way of creating areas with purpose. However if opting for this formation we need to be aware that it is essential to have a small return on the end of the run. This prevents the breeze wrapping around the end posts & returning to the sheltered area. Adding in a 1m end panel will prevent this & ensure maximal shelter.
