Here the wind howls 30 knots and switches 180 degrees in the same day, so windbreaks have been incorporated in the design that run perpendicular to the prevailing winds which are southwest and northeast. This is the first of a series that will be about 2 metres high and every 10 metres. For this windbreak we used timber we salvaged from the old composter and sticks, and bound it with tarred sisal rope.
