This was exactly what we needed, a semi-private fencing around the deck. It was also quite easy to attach with nail & hammer and some wood to hold it in place against the wind. The natural color of the bamboo, though not as warm and earthy as in the photo, blends well  with surrounding  trees. My Dad thinks we should've weatherized it, though, to keep it looking good much longer. Gardening gloves protected my fingers as I pushed the strips closer together to lessen spaces between them.
