Otherwise, you need to fasten the foot strap to the ground, then it is not free-standing. | |

We can assume that the L-shape is rigid at the bend. It is clear that there does exist a length of foot which would allow the panels to resist the wind - the question is, how long would the feet have to be? I suspect that the answer will be something crazy like 3 metres, but there is such a number, surely? | |
