The quality is somewhat reflected in the price, as expected. Easy to install and functional it was perfect and I expect it to last as it is well sheltered from the sun and weather. The fittings are plastic and sometimes these can get brittle with the exposure to the weather - not a problem for this instance but worth consideration for others. The lightweight material of the blind is not really weighted at the bottom but tie-off loops are provided. There as a vast array of outdoor blinds available at various price points, made of varying materials, and this is at the low end of both those things. But for the right situation, this is perfectly good and money saving.
