Wind barrier for breezy nights suggestions please...

Good afternoon all.... What do you use or suggestions for those breezy nights around the campfire; something that will block much of the wind; only large enough for just 2 campers...Anyone?
  • Look for "beach shelters" - portable nylon wind and sun protection. Just don't get it too close to the fire ;-)
  • How about plastic 4x8 privacy lattice, many colors and light weight. Cut the sheet in half and hold it up with a couple of stakes. https://www.homedepot.com/b/Lumber-Composites-Lattice-Vinyl-Lattice/Brown/N-5yc1vZbvh1Z1z0vl9p?storeSelection=1287,1233,1234,1268,1228
  • I have 4x8 sheets of plywood that I lean up against the backs of the chairs or bench. I can move it around depending on the wind direction. You can drill holes in the top and bottom along the ends and tie multiple panels together and when no longer needed they can be stored out of the way. The heat really reflects off them and helps warm your backside :)
  • .... Also needs to be not too big as it’s only needed for 2 people around a campfire....
  • Plenty of little soccer mom type 3 sided shelters that block the wind and rain should fit the bill.
