Recommended Posts

have a number of customers lined up for a bit of stump grinding next Friday, it'll be a push to get them all done in a day so need to improvise a screen to make tidying up quicker, am thinking of fabricating some poles about a meter high that can be pushed into the ground when suitable, or with removable feet if on concrete etc, then a strong tarp cut and stitched to form a curtain. But in the meantime i'd like to see what quick fixes you have used?

I use the folding BT barriers with rubberised tarp tywrapped to them. Very light but sturdy and look the part. Easy to carry store and very easy to move during work. If it is windy I simply pin them with the orange net barrier pins. Have a look at my gallery photos on my website below and you'll see them. I got them off eBay for about £12 a set of 4!

Not a quick fix, just what i use...

 

I got some 11mm ply 8-4' sheets, cut in half. Put some hinges on so can fold and a bit of 2-1 for strengthening and away i go :) used these for yeara

Same as mine except I drill a couple of holes in them and tie together with some blue 3 strand rope as think hinges will twist and work loose and doesn't need any strengthening. Can take a pic if you want

Go to a tyre shop and collect 4 or 5. Secure a saws all or similar curing tool and cut the material to size and drill holes, wire or nylon rope together. If you build it well enough it will last forever. Cost will be very low, durability will be years.

Assuming it does not get lost or stolen.
