This is such a great, wonderful & inexpensive product & idea, compared to an expensive privacy fence. I so wish I was aware of these many years ago. I only order one in the size needed just to go along the one fence to block off the most annoying of the three neighbors first & to see how good the product was and worked for my goal, lol. I will explain more about this & how great it helped with my goals further down. I almost gave this 4 stars at first for two reason, but corrected myself. First reason was because I wish it was just a bit thicker and clearly stated that they are still not 100% solid and you can see through them somewhat but not completely see through. The pictures here do not do justice in that fact and appear as if it is totally solid. This along with the fact that it took, what seemed like, forever to get this delivered. A good month to get this and it did not come even close to the original date stated in my initial order, but that also could be Amazon's fault too.I went with the 5 stars instead of 4 because it is not the products fault the company took forever to ship and secondly is that you get what you pay for. PLEASE READ MY COMMENT AT THE BOTTOM ABOUT RATINGS FROM OTHERS, thank you. For the price and quality of this product it is definitely 5 stars. I base my ratings the way I would totally expect that we should ALL expect ratings to be based upon, that is the product itself and nothing more. Also, I really will not be able to tell the full quality for a good year in order to see how well this holds up through the seasons. The one other thing that annoyed me at first was that this did not come with any of the zip ties to put it up. If I would have known so I would have went out and purchased them before this was delivered so I could get it up right away. Once again I did not take that out on my rating of the product itself.I could see why a person would give this a 4 star rating and I would have as well if I did not know better ahead of time just based on the description itself, which could be very easily misinterpreted. The description clearly states Our brown fabric is solid dark green. These fence screens provide durability, high privacy rating, and air flow circulation. Yes the color is solid green but it is easy to think this means it is solid in the way that you can not see through this at all, which is not at all the case. Hence the air flow circulation. Air would not circulate if it were solid and this would not hold up at all and would be destroyed by severe winds if it were not perforated.Now if I were here to rate the company, description and overall service experience I would change it to 3 stars based on the slow shipping and that the tracking said it was shipped when it was not for well over a week afterward. Beings the shipping was free, another main reason I decided to order, I felt that I did not have the right to complain for I could have paid for quick shipping if I were in a huge hurry. This along with the fact that they should state in clear BOLD print that you will need zip ties, sold separately, in order to put this up.I am not rating the company here I am rating the product and this is a great product. So do not listen to the negative people here as most of us should know at this point that you simply just can not make some people happy no matter what as they will always find something to bitch about no matter what. Most of the time in an attempt to get something for nothing or free handouts. While others expect the world from a company & product which they will always find something to complain about. I have been in business with my first shop at age 19 and managed multimillion dollar companies. Therefore I have seen it all with how challenging customer service and pleasing some truly ignorant, disrespectful and miserable people can be.SO, NEVER EVER GO BY OTHERS 1 to 4 STAR RATINGS UNTIL YOU READ THEM FULLY. The one star rating the one & only person gave totally contradicts itself by giving a horrible one star rating only based upon their claim to have received the 5 foot tall and not the 4 foot. That is such an easy mistake for any company to make but how about the fact that in most of these cases the customer is the one who actually makes the mistake by ordering the wrong size not realizing they did so and then they automatically place blame elsewhere. Sad that it is extremely common these days for way too many people to rush into blaming others for things without considering that it actually could have possibly been from their end and not from where they place blame, Hey, we are all human and we all do make mistakes. That is not at all a legit reason to rate a product one star, he is rating the company and experience and not the product. He even goes on to say he will reorder the correct size and likes the product, which would never happen if it were a legit 1 star rating.Now the one 3 star rating here where the person comments Not what I expected...very thin fabric and some flaws. SERIOUSLY?? Well please tell us exactly that the hell you were expecting to begin with?? Clearly that is simply a lie in stating that the fabric is very thin. This is not at all close to truth as the fabric is very heavy, thick and sturdy. SO PLEASE SIR, tell us exactly what Some Flaws means exactly in your words? All I see here is flaws in you, your comment and your rating!These both are perfect examples as to what I have said in the way of some people who will literally complain about everything and anything because they are simply just miserable and unhappy and in turn would like everyone else to be as well, so they will try hard to pull others down to their misery. In a comment & rating like this I would expect a person who is actually being honest to be very specific in what exactly it is they are bitching about? This is the best most perfect example of false ratings from people who just can not be made happy no matter what. As all of you would know, if there were flaws in a product you received and you were taking your precious time and energy to rate and comment you would certainly be very specific as to why you are not happy. Would you not? Please correct me if I am wrong, but I know I am not. People like this sadden me for they are the types of folks who help to add to the misery on our beautiful planet. Why can't we all be grateful and happy?So, If you actually compare this product and pricing of getting even the cheapest available privacy fencing you would pay more just for 16 feet than the amount I paid for 40 feet of this. To finish off my comments and ratings of this product that will totally help you in making your decision whether or not this is the product for you. I would have loved to put up a nice wooden privacy fence around my back yard to add to the already existing privacy fence and gate upon entering my back yard. It is a long story so to cut all of that out, I am not planning to stay in my residence and will eventually be moving across country but not sure on the exact timing. Due to the issue with family and the fact that I had to have my father's name put on the deed to my home because at the time my business was not in existence long enough to show the income on my taxes needed. Therefore I refuse to put any more money into this place at the moment after already putting over 20k in. But I have a huge issue with a few neighbors, not personally but more based on being forced to look at their disgusting yards when I worked so hard to make my place look gorgeous and spend so much time out back with my dog playing in the dirt & gardens.So the neighbor, who's fence I placed this upon, is a total jerk one day and humbled the next. But there is no doubt he does things purposely in attempts to annoy me for God only knows what reasons. They have a nasty disgusting pool that is a bug attracting swamp and not useds for over a decade. I have beautiful flower beds along the fence and the opposite side is a disgrace and he took long sheets of rubber and laid them down years ago so his lazy ass does not have to cut the grass. He purposely takes all his trash and line it up purposely so I have to look at it. The best thing he does is takes big 8 wide 8' long boards and places them about 7 inches from the fence and leaned them against the fence so all his weeds grow up and into my yard and garden, yeah I know a total richard LOL.In the fall he waits until I rake and pick up all the leaves and then he goes out with his leaf blower, that I'd love to shove up his you know what and turn it on high, and blows all his leaves up against the fence and many into my yard and just leaves them there. Obviously he does these things just to be a jerk and for no reason at all, I am overly kind to all humans. Lastly, my dog barks at everything. When I was searching online I stumbled upon this product and the great pricing and figured I would give it a try. I only went 40' in all leaving the part along my back side patio open for now beings that is the only section I will be placing an actual privacy fence to keep my patio private. Well this helped me to totally succeed for I could instantly tell from his attitude, hahaha, and now his weeds, leaves and anything else he attempts to do or places as an eyesore simply will do nothing. It was the best cheapest option ever and now my flower beds look even more gorgeous with the beautiful solid green background, which also matches the siding trim on my home.I have already, within a week, had the neighbor ask me about this & the pricing along with dozens of others on social media. Too bad you can not find these in any little or big hardware stores like Lowes. I have no doubt that if they had these on display in the stores & folks knew they can be ordered in just about any size you want they would be selling off the shelves. At the same time they probably do not do so for that exact reason and they would sell less of the higher priced privacy fences. Sorry for the long message but I feel this should totally help you all to make the decision as too whether this is the product for you or not. All the best.. :) <3 Read Less
