I purchased this to hide an unsightly Mini Split condenser that was placed right next to the from door of my 1850's miner's cottage. Trust me, I was livid when they did that! This fence DOES hide it nicely when paired with the separately available top.  It doesn't require being sunk into the ground which was my main deciding factor as there are bricks there and I didn't want to remove any. It offers adequate airflow and looks nice. I'm happy with it! It is lightweight material so should be a bit more affordable, but overall, I'm happy with the purchase.
