I want to stand up a flat material screen with an aluminium frame 3m wide and 2.2m high, held up by ropes attached to the top of the screen and fixed to the ground on both sides.


1.What is the ideal angle the rope should be from the ground to prevent the screen getting blown over by unexpected strong gusts of wind (50km/hr)? I would like to make the ropes as steep as possible.


2.Is it best to have the ropes attached to the corners on the top or a certain distance away from the corners?


3.If there are three ropes (as opposed to two) will I be able to increase the angle of the rope from the ground? If so, by how much?


4.How steep can I make the ropes if there is no wind?


5.Do you know of a more effective way to hold up such a screen outdoors other than ropes?


Thank you for your time.

All the best

Metal T shaped brackets possibly.

What is the function or purpose of this screen? It would seem fitting it into its own tract, or enclosure would be ideal for long term durability, usability.
