Wind blocker

[Bosley]

With winter approaching here in Canada I am looking at a way to set up a wind block for the hot tub. We use it all winter long. Even at -40 but the wind can make it intolerable. We dont want a gazebo because it is nice to enjoy the starry skies. Looking for ideas. I was thinking of using roller shades in 2 foot wide widths and roll them out when in the tub. The problems with this that I see are they will flap as well as probably freeze up in the winter. The other idea is simply put up 3 slat walls for the winter months and take them down in the summer. What have you all done? I have attached a picture for reference.

Cheers

When you try different wind blocks would appreciate reports on what works and doesn’t.

What about a plexiglass "fence"? It's fairly common to see these here at the coast and on floating homes.

Funny you mentioned plexiglass. We would love to go that route so our view wont be blocked. I don't know about where you are but a 4X8 sheet of 1/4" is $300. Don't have to go that thick but still pricey!
