I've a few calves in a shed, and one end is very open to the elements. I was thinking of putting up a windbreaker/netting to help keep the wind and rain out. Where could ya buy such a thing?

I got some Galebreaker (http://www.galebreaker.com/siteenglish/home_uk.html) screens through Glanbia years ago. They were (and still are) excellent quality and work very well, but they were pretty expensive.
I since got a similar product from someone in the horticulture/market gardening supply business in north Co. Dublin, but I'm fecked if I can remember their name

A Google search for "shed windbreak netting ireland" throws up a lot of possibilities.

This guy advertises in the journal. Does lorry covers as well so the wind breakers are probably good quality?
