Pull down wind breaks for calf shed?

Our calves are in a fairly open fronted shed, with 3, 15ft openings between pillars. Up until now we can block the worst of the wind using straw bales, but I’d ideally like to find some sort of pull down sheeting which acts as a wind break to keep them much warmer when the wind hits direct into the shed.

I’ve googled but can’t find the sort of thing I’m after? What I have in my head is a roller sheet, which pulls down and sits under a bracket. Simple and low maintenance. Any help or other suggestings or pics of your own would be very welcome. :)

You've virtually exactly described our Rollerscreen here!

We fitted them on a fairly open shed.
I didn't think I'd like them, but I think they are great. Light and air get in, but rain doesn't seem to despite them being on the east and west ends of the shed.
