I love this screen and have received multiple compliments on it. I bought it to cover up an ugly outlet on a wall beside my pool. So I made the screen a feature and planted in front and around it. It is sturdy, easy to assemble and stands alone. I put small River rocks on and around the feet, but it did not need them. It backs up to a wall so I do not know how it would perform with high winds. I have had it for a few months in all weathers and it looks as good as when I bought it. I recommend this product.
