I live in a very windy area on Vancouver Island. The wind hits us from both the NW and the NE, often in excess of 20mph and up to 50mph. I have just installed a new 8' fence to block the wind from the NE, and a new gazebo with one solid wall to block the wind from the NE. It works! The strongest winds are now mere cooling breezes, and we have more privacy.
P.S. I have a latticed gazebo roof with both horizontal and vertical boards. It provides dappled shade all day in an area that used to be too hot to use.
What is the brand and website for this 1st fire table?
