[QUOTE="Scotty 123, post: 2777944, member: 52504"] so.. I winter approx 80 cows in a stone quarry, the cattle have historically slept in a wood adjacent and has worked well for 20 years. I'm now planning to fell the trees (next year) and thought I should put up some kind of shelter for the poor cows. It is an exposed site. Another problem is that there isn't much soil and hits stone fairly quickly. I've thought of buying some concrete Lego blocks which would be expensive but easy. I'm also told that wind breaks should be slightly 'porous' I've have a few holes to reduce the down flow. I could, at a push get a few wooden posts into the ground but it's not uncommon for winds to reach 80mph during stormy weather. (I've had calf creeps blow away) Didn't want the expense of a shed.. And I've found this on the Internet; [URL]https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/FRP-material-Wind-Break-Wall-Wind_60481271282.html[/URL] Wondered if anyone could offer some advice, has a similar type product or has tried something similar. Thanks.. [/QUOTE]
