E&K Sunrise 3' x 37' Balcony Privacy Fence Screen Cover with Zip Ties Outdoor Screen Fence UV Protection for Deck Patio Backyard Apartment Pool Porch (Gray)

I ordered the gray color in 3' x 37' and the color is true to the photos, the screen feels sturdy and looks great, and the size was perfect. After reading several reviews for this product, and looking at the photos that some reviewers had posted, I knew that I would need to order double the length of my fence in order to double layer the screen and provide the level of visibility blockage that I wanted and needed. The first photo I posted (with the dog), shows a single layer, and it is definitely see-through. In person, I was able to see the trees directly across from my porch (about 3-4 yards away), a red car parked on the street, cars driving past at the cross street less than a block away, cars driving past/directly in front of my condo, and people walking past my porch. This picture mutes some of that, but you can still see some of what I described. Since my main purpose for getting this fence screen was to block my dog's view (in order to lessen his anxiety and barking when he saw other dogs walk by) I needed a screen that provided total or almost total visibility blockage/opaqueness. I measured the full L-length of my porch railing, doubled it, and added about 6 inches to allow for wrapping around some of the bars twice. The length was perfect! And doubling the layers achieved the level of visibility blockage/opaqueness that I wanted. The height of the screen (from top to bottom of railing) was actually slightly longer than I had expected. I had measured that height on my railing 3 times, and each time it was just about 37 inches high, so I was concerned there might be a gap near the top since this is listed as 36 inches high. Fortunately, it filled the height completely and upon measuring it I discovered that the height is actually 36.6 inches. That could be because I pulled the screen taut both in the length and the height. The second photo shows the same view of the sidewalk and street, but we can no longer see the trees or the red car, or any of the other cars that were driving past when I took the photo. The next photos were taken from the sidewalk facing the outside of my porch. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo from this perspective with only 1 layer, but I am certain it was see-through. Starting with the side part of my L-shaped fence, you can see through the side gap that I have stuff stored on my porch, including a snow shovel, but you can only see that through the gap. The rest of that view is completely blocked out by the screen. In the next photo you can see the handle of my snow shovel but not the rest of it or the bins and other stuff I have on my porch. In the last photo you can see my dog's nose and paws but not the rest of his body. Since installing this privacy screen, my dog has been unable to see other dogs and people walking past our porch and as a result he has not been barking or getting agitated and anxious. I've only had it up for 2 days, and he is already calmer overall. Today is a very windy day (gusts up to 30 mph), and this screen has also blocked most of that, preventing light weight items on my porch from blowing around and blocking leaves and debris from being blown onto my porch. I rated it 4 stars because the description states 95% visibility blockage, but to me it was more like 75% (with a single layer). The double layer lets some light pass through but no objects are visible through the screen, so I'd say with a double layer there's about 98% visibility blockage. If you decide to double layer your screen, add a few inches to your length measurement to accommodate for the fold-over. And if you're going to wrap it around any of the vertical railings (which I recommend to help anchor the screen), add a few inches for that as well.This purchase did include zip ties, but they were very thin and felt cheaply made, which proved to be the case when I tried using them. Despite how slowly and carefully I was pulling the zip ties tight, they all kept breaking. They either broke at the point where one end slides through the "box" of the other end, or they would just snap in half. You can see in the 2nd zip tie photo that the little peg that catches on the zip lines kept snapping off. Very poorly made and very cheap and thin. So I had to buy a separate set of zip ties, which I got from my local grocery store. The new ones were thicker and stronger, and none of them broke! So I recommend investing in a high quality zip tie brand (hardware stores have a good selection as well).Overall, I am very happy with this product! (FYI: In order to completely block my dog's view, I zip tied pool noodles in the gaps on both ends of my fence and cut their height to be flush with the top of my railing.)
