I've bought this garland last year for indoors, and these year of Covid, I wanted to add more festive greenery outdoors, so I bought 3 more garlands and attached them with garden velcro tape to my garden arbours, along back of my driveway. They were easy to attach to the metal arbours, and didn't take too long to fluff them out, reshaping the individual branches outward from the wire stem. The texture is quite rough & scratchy, I wore a long sleeved shirt and thin disposable latex gloves when I assembled the garlands outdoors. Their appearance is quite realistic, not overly shiny and fake looking, unlike some faux plastic greenery in the marketplace. Overall, I like them alot, they serve the intended purpose, and have held up to 2 snowstorms and heavy winds already! I would recommend these garlands!
