<p>I can try to get one - it's a little burried at the moment (snow) but I'll try to dig it out tomorrow and snap a few. Pretty simple construction. PVC, glue, cable ties and a tarp. The frames are glued together and then cable ties act as the hinges and others hold the tarp in place.</p>

<p>Dunno, I was thinking about building one myself, but my concern is light (neighbor's floodlights) not wind. I think anything would really work even cloth....blankets or what have you. I was even going to use old beach blankets.</p>
