Does anyone have this foldable Coghlan's stove windscreen?

http://www.coghlans.com/products/windscreen-8566

It says it's 10 inches tall. My application calls for something 5 inches tall. Does the construction of this Coghlan's product allow you to cut it in half (with tin snips, Dremel Tool, hack saw, whatever) and have it still stay together solidly as a functional unit (two separate units actually)?

Alternately, I was going to use some sheet metal or non-galvanized roof flashing cut into appropriate sized rectangles and "hinge" them together with the metal tape that they use on heating and air conditioning ductwork. Would that tape hold up to the high temperatures of a Trangia alcohol stove burning behind (and close to) the windscreen?

My intent is to make a hex-sided surround windscreen for a Trangia burner - except I'd leave one side open, by using only five panels to build the "hex" surround. Then I'd drill the horizontal center of each panel an inch of so down from the top so I could insert three heavy wires into the structure to make an internal pot support (the support would be triangular in shape). The Trangia burner is about 2" tall, and I'd want the pot to sit about 1-1/2" above the top of the burner, and then have the windscreen extend another 1-1/2" above the bottom of the pot. Hence the 2 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 5 inch height I'm looking for.

If I was going to make this thing from scratch, I'd want each of the five panels to be 5" tall by 3" wide. The Coghlan panels are 10" tall by 3-1/2" wide from what I've read. Close enough, if I could cut their height in half.

There is always the Trangia Click stand.

Would the difference in time, tooling and effort be worth it by modifying the Coglans Windscreen?

I have said device the net went down while getting it.
5 panel nothing special windscreen, Did you want 1/2 of mine when i'm done cutting it?.
Got it as a christmas gift and not used it since, i'm keeping half for windscreen use pm an address sir.

This one on eBay is about right. I'm sure that there are more choices if you look for them.

The Clikstand does have an excellent reputation and is specifically designed for the Trangia burner (or the Evernew titanium equivalent), but the Clikstand is stinkin' expensive. (grumble)

If anyone would like to sell me their Clikstand, drop me a PM.

FWIW I've made perfectly functional stove windscreens from so-called turkey basting pans, those $2 disposable aluminum pans you buy to hold turkeys, BBQ etc. Its generally heavier than tin foil, yet cuts with a scissors, you can make a hex sided or omni-sided screen, whatever you want. And if it ever fails - just buy another $2 pan and make another.

made a trifold pot stand/windscreen for my Trangia, used some galvanized sheet steel with a pair of holes drilled near the edge(about 1/2 the diameter of the split ring from the edge)... 4 small split "key" rings to hold the 3 panels together...folds relatively flat...most of the time I use the Swiss volcano stove, opened to allow the Trangia to slide in thru the loading port

I use these a couple of these sheet metal squares with my Trangia, bent a bit, and held together with a spring paper clamp:

Is that a mini Trangia behind that sheet metal?

I wonder if this Coghlan windscreen would be a good choice for top-mounted canister stoves?

Thanks for all the replies everyone! That Clikstand looks nice, but it is a bit on the expensive side. Still, it looks like a well thought out design. There are many good ideas presented here. I just need to get on the stick and try a few out to see what works best for me. Thanks!
