We decided to use this as a topper to a fence we built for privacy.  It looks so nice!  The panels themselves were pretty easy to install.  I did pre-drill the holes for ease of securing since we had to hold it in place while attaching.  The panels are sturdy but they also bend -  on a warm day, you can see that they "puff" out a bit but that's to be expected with the heat.  Better they do that than break as they expand and contract.  I put lights behind them so at night the space looks really nice.  I am very happy with these and recommend them highly.  They do require some kind of structure to hold them in place not a stand alone.
