ISABELLA WINDBREAK

[Andrewbutcher]

Hi all, we have been thinking of buying a Isabella wind break, has anyone got one? are they worth the money (£150)?

Any ideas where to buy one any cheaper?

Thank you for any replies, Andrew.

We have the three panel Acryl. Had it for about ten years used it a lot and it still looks new.

They are exceptionally stable in high winds.

The Acryl fabric dries very easily.

Undoubtedly they are beautiful windscreens and you will be very pleased with it.

Downside might be is that its a touch high when seated.

We fortunately were able to pick ours up for a third of its retail price from a closing down business.

Would I pay the going price? Knowing how good they are yes painfully; most retailers give about 20% discount on Isabella if pushed.

We purchased a 5 panel one about 10 years ago and it still looks as good as the day we bought it. I agree with the comments that it stands up to strong winds. We had a bit of a mini tornado in the Dordogne last year and it did not move an inch.

Hi,

We have 2 Isabella windbreaks, and they have stood up to plenty of wind and bad weather in the past and still look like new, I put them together by putting a cable tie around a pole on the end of each one to keep them together, with the guy ropes attatched they never move far.

They are as good as the awnings, at Easter a couple of people lost cheap and cheerful porch awnings on the rally site we were on, our Isabella was fine with 3 inches of snow on it and with the high winds we had, the caravan next door to us had had exactly the same Isabella Magnum as ours on it but I have never seen an awning put up so badly, there was no tension on any of the poles and the fabric blew about like a sale, but still it was fine, the cheap one accross was ripped and had broken poles causing damage to the side of the caravan, for year round use I would always go for Isabella although the cheaper stuff is fine in good weather, but in the UK it can change quickly.
