Surely you could make some windbreaks Mike? Even some 4X2 posts with some corrugated iron between the posts.

Or, you could stand near your setup. You seem like a natural windbreak Like me - brick ****-house
Oh you are absolutely right Lewis, I have been putting off erecting wind breaks (already have a lot to set up and pull down each session anyway) because I have a 2.3m Sirius Dome kit sitting in my shed waiting to be erected, I needed approval form the land lord which I have received now and then I have been waiting for the cash to build the pier, footing and slab.

Attached is what it should look like - that's my backyard with the dome superimposed in order to show the land lords what I was planning.

This should be my wind remedy
