Windbreak: Ideas & Low-Cost Options

Hey there,

I just bought a piece of property and I have prevailing winds from the Southwest.  I am looking for affordable ways to create a windbreak in the Southwest corner of my property.  I have a chain-link fence that goes all the way around my property and I was considering purchasing a cloth screen to use as a windbreak on the fence (like the image attached).  Does anyone have any experience with this type of windbreak cloth?  Any ideas other than bamboo and a fedge for windbreak?  I don't have the option of terraforming.

Thank you for the feedback!

I'd want to know how UV tolerant the product is and how long you could expect it to last. My experience with "plastic" things that are exposed to wind and sun is that they don't last that long, and turn into a powdery mess that can't easily be cleaned up.

1. How pretty does it have to look?
2. How much work are you prepared to put into this?
3. What sort of raw material cast-offs are common in your area?
4. How creative are you?

For example, somewhere here on permies is a picture of a fence made by putting glass bottles between two rows of fencing. They choose the colour and styles of the bottles, and I recall included rocks as well, but the effect was unique and gorgeous.

I could also see salvaging wood from pallets and wiring bits of wood to the chain-link as if you were building a quilt.

I have had success with the mesh you have pictured.
The black cable ties sometimes dont stand up to the sun, so I used stainless steel ones.
