Great for my outdoor project. They are quite sheer but provide just enough cover from the glare of the sun. My screened porch is quite exposed to my neighbor's yard and I needed just a little privacy without sacrificing the breeze. I have ordered additional curtains to "double up" to provide a little more privacy. I've had them up through several heavy rains and winds and so far they have held up well - no issues with snags or seams.
