The screen does the job it was ordered for - hide the trashcan.  Would certainly work for blocking a street view for an air conditioner.   I ordered the white vinyl since it would be easier to hose off any mud splatter that the natural wood.  Easy to put together, took only 20 minutes.  When the box arrived we weren't sure about assembly since every slat is a separate piece - see pictures.  A rubber mallet was used to get the stakes into the ground.  Once in it is very secure.
