Improved cardboard windguard

[Shadowdog500]

I found a much better box than my last wind guard attempt that only needs a cut and a fold.

It’s a 16”x16”x16” box from staples that sells for two dollars.

Cut the box down the center so you have the top and bottom halves of the box.
Then trim the height to 8-3/4”
Then put new folds at 12” from the opposite corners.

This gives you a 12”x20” wind guard that is perfect for a chafing dish.

I cut it a little lower around the handles, and cut air notches on the bottom corners.

For a dollar per wind guard, they are easy to make and look pretty good.

Original dimension 16”x16”

Folding the new corners at 12” for the ends.
Just set a12” square in place and fold.

Done

Or, just save your Amazon boxes.

If you want a good tight corner, use a razor knife and lightly cut the inside layer of cardboard and then run a round ended pen to smash down the cut line. Folds over nice and tight.
