I bought this for a sidewalk to grow a vine plant over it. It is working very well. It's stronger than it looks. Just after I put it up without stakes, a strong storm blew it over onto the concrete. I picked it up and it was fine. Since then, several storms and hard rain, it's still fine. I used some D-rings and the stakes to hold it because it sits on blocks/concrete and it's been great but it's got some shelter from the house too. I love the look of it.
