We used the reed fencing to surround an outdoor shower.  We did double it to provide more privacy and it works perfectly for us.  We also cut the long piece into by carefully removing two reeds and then re-tiring the wires. It was a bit tedious, but it worked.  We then cut a tiny bit out of one small area at the top to accommodate the box of our outdoor sprinkler system.  We are happy with the product.
