We have an ancient wooden fencing structure (here when we moved in eons ago) that hides garbage cans and other items from view, and it is quite literally falling apart. To have another similar one built by someone would have been very expensive (I did some checking around). So, we decided to give these a try. Removed the old structure, cleaned up the area, put down topsoil and installed these. Followed instructions and found this serves the purpose nicely. Great for the money! And seriously, how much money do you want to spend to hide garbage cans, bags of mulch, topsoil, etc.? You do need to work a bit getting these into the ground to the depth required (the metal stakes), and we weren't thrilled about the cheap plastic caps at the ends of the stakes; you need to use a doubled up cloth and a hammer to pound these - the stakes - in, and the caps partially disintegrated even when we followed these instructions, but again, for the money, great product overall! Does the job. Ours is right up to the house so that helps to stabilize things, too. (As an after thought on this, we did notice that when we experienced a couple of extremely windy days, a couple of the panels were leaning - even though the metal stakes remained straight. We used extra short wooden stakes to stabilize both the outside and the inside of every other panel (which we had done previously on the inside of the structure) for additional panel stability. This seemed to solve the problem. How long will these panels last in the elements? Time will tell.

(untreated wood at that) and the old dilapidated wooden structure is over thirty years old, so if these last that long they will undoubtedly outlast me - lol). We had to order two sets for the size of the area enclosed, but for the price, you can't go wrong. Thumbs up!

OK, it's brown plastic and to be honest looks like brown plastic.
But it's opaque and was useful when i had to use an outdoor shower for several weeks last fall.

It is shorter than i thought it was going to be! I ended up using it to cover a gas meter in front of my house that has always annoyed me!
It has survived high wind with just the stakes provided

Very thin and cheaply made. I'm not sure how it received any positive reviews but we're all looking for different things I suppose. Can't recommend this product as it didn't hold up in 10-15 mi/hr wind.

These panels are really nice. Some might consider them flimsy if your just using the metal post that come with the set. I personally wanted them to hold up during our freezing weather. I took rebar and sprayed them the same color of the panels and used them to reenforce the posts. I then used flex ties and attached them to the panels. They don't fade and they look classy from the street. I used them to hide me ugly garbage cans. I highly recommend but the posts that come with the four panels are light weight. Don't let that stop you from buying this set. The rebar is cheap and helped keep these panels up during 12" of snow
