- A spring scale 0-500 lb. range to measure fabric tension.
- A come-a-long, to tension the fabric.

Support Structure
Wind Screen Fabric can be attached to a variety of surfaces. Sometimes it is used in place of solid siding on a building and the existing column supports can be used with little or no modification. Other times a simple tubular steel frame is used to cover a transfer point similar to a cage or awning.
A free standing Wind Fence will require its own structure. Column materials can vary based on local conditions, available materials and engineering requirements. Typical materials include, wood poles, steel I-beams, channel iron, and steel pipe.
