I have used these for years and they last for years.  I have cream colored screen. With the red earth and so much rain splatter this season,  I decided to go darker (green) .  I have  single dog  kennel panels (one with a door for access into the rest of the yard)  and I created a U shape around my back patio and attached the privacy screen to it.  I used pallet with decorative potted plants on the one corner that I had nothing to brace the fence. .
