Windbreakers- green net type

locky76

My uncle wants to seal off the top of an open shed which is approximately 60 feet wide by 8 feet high, would the green PVC netting on ratchet straps do?

What sort of money is it?
Does it last a reasonable amount of time?
As always thanking you in advance...;)

Put up the "Gale Breaker" stuff about 10 years ago . 60 foot by eight. Tightened with hook bolts. Only needed tightening up once since. If the wind is on it and you have that heavy mizzling type rain , it Will let a mist through. No problem for slats, but would wet a
cubicle . Yorkshire boarding will let less rain in, in the same circumsances , but lets in less light.
You need to glue the foam strips supplied to any uprights or the mesh will wear and cut

Someone I know put the net up on the outside of Yorkshire boarding, the idea being to stop rain blowing into the shed and wetting the straw. The result wasn't as intended, the big drops of rain broke up on hitting the net alright, but they turned into a mist which blew even farther into the shed which wet more straw again.

If you were choosing again which one would you go for the boarding or gale breaker ?

For slatted sheds or sheep or bedded sheds, the galebreaker. For sheds where cubicles are directly under through opening, I would go with the Yorkshire boarding. Put boarding on a shed 25 years ago, and its still good. We cut them to length and then soaked in creosote for a week.
If you do this you need to let them drain for a few days,or they will make a mess of the walls.

anyone ever used stockboard, my shed is open fronted and last year the wind and draft in the creep areas to the back was serious, i had to line in bales straw

was going to line the barrier between the slats and the creep in either stockboard or marine ply this year
