My deck is high off the ground and these screens add a layer of privacy. I had them custom cut and they came as a good fit. The only draw back for me is my railings are a little shorter than the width of 3' but still work. I installed mine on the outside of the railing so you can't see the extra material. I also had to buy different zip ties. They where black and my railings are white. They also were too short to wrap around the top rail.
