So we are using this screen for an unintended use.  We bought a house on a golf course and felt were could be in the line of fire with a direct shot.  So I put this in the yard just in front of the chaise lounges so if someone does hit a line drive they will hit the screen first.  They slats are spaced just close enough that a golf ball could not come through.  These screens were simple to assemble and the wood must be cedar, they smell great.  Hopefully we will not have to find out if my plan for these work.
