Just got these in. The pricing beats the big box stores as does the fact that the bamboo is slightly thicker than those other stores. It make the fencing ( although still somewhat sheer) a little less see through than the thinner versions they carry. We' have a better idea of just how much more private it's makes our fence between our house and our neighbors  (who runs an Air B&B) house. He trimmed all the shrubbery and tree branches so his rental and typically hard partying tenants have a clear view of our once private backyard. Real fencing was just too expensive. Once attached to the hurricane fence between the two houses we feel hopeful we can regain some of our privacy back with this option. Here's hoping.
