Product Information
Full details
The Trail Outdoor Leisure 5 Pole Wooden Windbreak is an essential tool for beachgoers, campers, and gardeners looking to create a sheltered, private space protected from wind, sun, and blowing sand. Crafted from durable 420D polyester, this 3.6-meter long windbreak offers a significant barrier against the elements while remaining lightweight and easy to transport; however, users should note that while it includes guy lines for stability, it requires careful anchoring in loose sand or very hard ground to remain fully upright in high winds.

FAQs
Can I use this windbreak on sand?
Yes, the galvanized metal ground spikes are designed to penetrate sand effectively. For best results in loose sand, drive the spikes as deep as possible.
What is the total height of the windbreak?
The windbreak stands at 125cm in height.
Is the fabric waterproof?
The 420D polyester is water-resistant, designed to block wind and blowing sand rather than serve as a heavy-duty rain shelter.
How long is it when packed away?
When disassembled and packed into the carry bag, the unit measures 148cm x 7cm x 7cm.
Does it come with a carry bag?
Yes, it includes a durable 210D polyester drawcord bag with a reinforced base and carry strap.
Are the poles wood or plastic?
The poles are made from durable wood, tipped with galvanized metal for easier installation and mallet durability.
Troubleshooting
The windbreak keeps tipping over in strong winds.
Ensure you are using the included guy lines and pegs. Adjust the setup into a curved 'U' shape rather than a straight line to increase structural rigidity.
Poles are difficult to hammer into hard ground.
Use a heavy-duty rubber mallet and apply steady, vertical force. If the ground is too hard, use a small pilot hole tool or dampen the earth slightly.
Fabric has become dirty.
Allow the dirt to dry completely, then gently brush it off. If washing is necessary, use a damp cloth with water only and let it air dry completely.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and easy to carry
- Durable, tear-resistant 420D polyester fabric
- Galvanized pole caps allow for secure mallet use
- Generous 3.6m coverage area
- Includes essential stability accessories like guy lines and pegs
Cons
- Requires manual effort for installation
- Not suitable for extremely rocky terrain where spikes cannot penetrate

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: identify your desired location, use a rubber mallet to drive the galvanized spikes into the ground, and use the guy lines if extra support is needed.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Brush off loose sand or dirt once dry. Use a mild soap and water solution for localized stains. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Never pack the windbreak away while damp. Moisture trapped in the bag can lead to fabric rot or mildew.
- Storage: Store in the provided 210D drawcord bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
