We just use a prefabricated structure consisting of two wooden frames nominally 2 metres square with cheap plastic type sheeting stretched over and nailed. The two sections are hinged and thus fold together. They have handles for ease in moving. We built them on site with materials from Bunnings

We place them on the windward side of the telescope assembly as required, opened out to be self supporting, and pin them to the ground with tent pegs. No good in a gale but good in any weather conditions that are suitable for photography as a protection from most breezes.

The wind break is stored on site (in the open) and worked well for the last two years.
