We originally had planned to eventually put up a privacy fence (and probably still will one day), but in the meantime needed something to help block our neighbors inability to do any lawn care . The black 4ft. was perfect and just what we needed! While it doesn’t block everything it does provide a nice background and limits what we have to see.  We liked it so much we decided to get the 6ft. for some added privacy to our patio.  It looks more see through than it is, it works great! My only complaint is that we originally ordered the 6ft in black as well, but we liked the green so decided to keep.
