wondering if any one here has made or used one of these and can give us some ideas on required turns required.

they look ideal for some sites used as there easy to blend in and not stand out like a sore thumb.

I've used them loads of times. They're a good quick solution. The 2m and 4m dimensions are widely available.... The 3m version is easily deduced from the other information!
