Our second time purchasing this.... This is the kinda thing you get what you pay for. It looks nice for a while - It's kind of realistic-looking if you aren't close to it. We used it the first time to wrap our water barrel - I suggest placing it in an interior space as it WILL fall apart if left out of doors-- that said, we just bought it again to buy a couple of years until the real ivy grabs hold to camouflage our wood pile ( further away from the house and less visual to visitors).  great for an interior wall, or short term solution.
